I teach Mindfulness, Stress-Reduction and yoga workshops and classes. A yoga practitioner and teacher for nearly 2 decades

Just arrived in Venice. I love traveling but it also is an anxious making experience for me too - anyone else?
A few tips for handling travel stress and anxiety:
1. ID what is causing the stress - if it’s in your control and can be fixed do so
2. If what is stressing you isn’t in your control (delayed flight for example) take some breaths, perhaps run through the worst case scenario, so it isn’t an unknown
3. Meditate daily
4. Decide what is comfortable for you to do in a day set a pace that allows you to find joy in your travels
5. If traveling with trusted others, tell them about what stresses you out/makes you anxious and allow them to help you alleviate your stress and anxiety.
6. If traveling with others you don’t feel comfortable sharing with, set boundaries with them, and perhaps set aside time to go your own way or stay in while they go out.
Remember you don’t need to feel guilty for taking care of yourself! Vacations are meant to be enjoyed, by you too!
For those interested in practicing yoga, but who have a hard time getting up and down from a chair or the floor this version of a sun salutation (done on your feet without dropping to the floor) may be for you!
This is an example of how we practice body inclusive yoga in my Fat Girl Yoga class. We take it slow and steady, with an expectation of communication and joy in our movement. Class is every Monday from 8:30-9:15am at Benicia Fitness.

Many of you were interested in my classes, so I am posting the information again.
My fat girl yoga class is highly inclusive and meant for those who think that going to a standard yoga class might be emotionally or physically uncomfortable because of their size. I became a yoga teacher in part because I often felt uncomfortable in yoga classes, but still wanted the benefits of the practice. My Fat Girl Yoga class is a direct response to my own experiences. This class encourages conversation and questions about the practice and provides standing, sitting and floor based options for all of the poses. Class is Mondays from 8:30-9:15am at Benicia Fitness, you do not need to be a gym member to participate (you can walk in and get a day pass for $10-15).
Our Hip Hip Hooray Workshop on 11/18 from 1-3pm will be 2 hours of poses, massage, dance, education and reflection focusing on opening up our hips. It will be a lot of fun! Registration is on the VallejoYoga.com website.

Are you looking for a way to try out yoga? Are you plus sized, chubby, fluffy or large bodied? My classes are made for you then. I am a fat girl who does yoga and I’d love to introduce you to the practice in a way that feels safe, comfortable and yet challenging. If you have questions or concerns please reach out, I’m happy to discuss the classes with you 😊

One of the things I do for stress relief is beekeeping. So today I was in the hive checking on the girls and showing off this beautiful frame full of honey for you all. 🐝 🍯

Tonight I will be doing a free talk for parents who are looking for ways to support their teens with their stress and big emotions.
I am a long-time high school teacher of at-risk youth and professionally trained to help teens and adults lower their stress and create better coping mechanisms for their day to day lives.
