COMING SOON!

Tone. Sweat. Sculpt.

Jumpstart your weekend with Fitness Fridays, a 50-minute, high-energy class designed to sculpt, strengthen, and energize your entire body. This quick-paced, low-impact, high-intensity workout blends functional fitness, barre-inspired precision, and upbeat Pilates flow for a full-body workout that builds strength, agility, and flexibility. Using bodyweight, free weights, and resistance bands, you’ll challenge your endurance, engage deep stabilizing muscles, and leave feeling strong, sculpted, and unstoppable.

Plus…it’s FUN 🤩 and my playlists are 🔥

We starts October 9th!
9:30 am - 10:20 am

Fridays just got fierce 💪

Water doesn’t fight what’s in front of it. It bends, curves, effortlessly finds the way through.

So much of what we call suffering isn’t the situation itself — it’s how hard we brace against it. Against the pain we can’t avoid. Against the change we can’t stop. Against the parts of life we can’t control no matter how tightly we hold on.

Yielding isn’t giving up. It’s trusting life to take you — trusting that the path of least resistance is still a path.

Life is a constant series of contractions and expansions — every breath, every wave, every flower opening and closing with the light. Even on the biggest scale, birth and death remind us of this so distinctly. Resist the rhythm, and we get in the way of our own becoming.

Here’s the part that’s easy to miss: bracing against the bracing doesn’t help — it only amplifies it. The more useful practice is to let it be there. Get curious with it instead of running from it.

Awareness first. Followed by allowance and acceptance. Eventually, that leads to trust.

For most of us, allowance and acceptance aren’t as easy as they sound. Finding our way back to standing on solid ground is what lets us open to whatever arises without being swallowed by it — which is exactly what I unpacked in my last post on grounding — and it’s what keeps us afloat while the wave moves through instead of fighting to push it back out to sea.

What is it like to let the current carry you today, instead of getting in the way of it?

‼️ POP UP ALERT ‼️

The first STRETCHY SUNDAY starts next week!

Open. Soften. Release.

Pace: Slow
Intensity: Low

Close your week the way you’d like to begin the next one—at ease in your body.

Stretchy Sundays is a yoga-inspired class rooted in the same technical, thoughtful teaching you’ll find across all our sessions—guiding you through deep, deliberate stretching with attention to alignment, breath, and the body’s natural patterns of tension and release.

This isn’t about pushing further. It’s about softening—finding length where there’s tightness, ease where there’s holding, and space where there’s restriction.

You’ll leave feeling looser, freer, and more at home in your body.

A monthly pop-up, Stretchy Sundays shows up when it shows up. Be sure to book your spot in advanced! Link to book is in my bio:)

10:00 AM - 11:00 AM
Sunday, September 20

Sundays are about to get soft and sacred.

Grounding isn’t something you get to skip on the way to healing.

It’s what makes the deeper work possible.

Before you can go to the root of anything, you need somewhere solid to stand while you do it.

That’s grounding. Not just noticing what’s holding you — but letting yourself be held. Actually allowing it.

The earth beneath your feet — not as a fact you know, but as a pressure you can allow yourself to receive.

A few breaths — not rushed through, but received.
Air moving in, clean and free.
Moving out, asking nothing in return.

A tree outside your window, doing what it’s always done — standing, rooted, unmoved by the noise around it.

The people who are still here.
The gifts still in your hands.
The spaces that are still yours to return to.

Not remembered. Experienced.

This is what grounding is.
An act you practice, and a resource you receive. Something you do, and something you let land in you.

The world doesn’t slow down to let you catch up. It moves fast. It’s unpredictable — plans change, the ground shifts, the curveball comes when you least expect it. You can’t control any of that. But you can control how often you come back to what’s solid, stable, secure, and supportive. On purpose, again and again.

What’s keeping you rooted today? 🌳

YAY!!! MOBILITY MONDAYS start Sept 14!!!

IYKYK. This class is a MUST:)

If you want to keep your joints healthy and train to keep (or increase) range of motion while improving integrity (strength and control), this class is for you!

Think of this class as the work you do to keep doing everything else you do well!

It’s soft tissue release and specific inputs that help your body adapt and function in ways that will keep you feeling bullet proofed for life.

Bloomfield at TMM Studio

Each week has a specific focus:

SEPT 14: Lower Body (toes, ankles, knees, hips)

Week 1: GROUND - Earth
Week 2: FLOW - Water
Week 3: IGNITE - Fire
Week 5: OPEN - Air

This series is an exploration and integration of mind, body, heart, soul, spirit.

Hola Sol ☀️ is FULL!

Can’t wait to land in San Agustinillo with you all this fall:)

Missed this one? Our next retreat is already in the works —stay tuned!

08/18/2026

Let’s move again together soon!

Taking In-Studio Classes off the August agenda has allowed me the space and rest needed to (already) feel excited to begin again…soon.

The studio has been much emptier and quieter without you here. I’ve been moving alone (a lot) and I’m almost ready to move in good company, in community, together with you, again.

This September, my signature classes are back! Beginning with WELLBEING WEDNESDAYS starting up again on September 9th and MOBILITY MONDAYS on September 14th.

And something new is coming too —a perfect weekend monthly pop-up class. More details on that to come.

FITNESS FRIDAYS will be back on the schedule in October for those who are looking to get their sweat on.

Registration is already open for WWs and MMs.

I’ve missed moving with you.

See you soon 🤍
