Colorways is a podcast that i have longed to produce for years and it’s finally time to speak on what I know and what i’ve learned. This project is dedicated to multiethnic bodies of culture, to people of color and those affiliated with the bipoc community. I am a combination, or colorway, and that is my superpower - it’s what makes me unique. I hope that you will join me on this journey.

i think there is a lot of good that can come from keeping our immunity prepped and as strong as possible no matter what is taking place in the world. I want my friends and family to stay healthy and happy so I’m excited to share this new collab with my dear friend and environmental activist, liomari! last fall, we teamed up to shoot a how to on a special irish sea moss gel recipe inspired by the beloved dr. sebi.

2020 taught us that we really needed to calm our compulsiveness. It’s an inflammation of the mental processes. I believe it’s more effective when we can exude our value through our interactions and what we contribute unto others. This is a primary foundation to building mental strength and how we come to finding true solitude so that our minds feel at peace. Staying power is seeing the bigger picture.

Our inner wisdom is a birth right, it is something that provides us knowledge and information about ourselves and the world around it. It is a graceful energy that provides us with discernment, equanimity and acceptance. It is our guide when we are feeling out of alignment, unsafe, or hyper-vigilant. Having experienced the crippling emotions of anxiety and depression myself, I have learned that the best way for me to harness my innate wisdom is by choosing to know myself.

About a year ago, I took my dear friend Jade's Womb Awakening workshop and learned the importance of womb healing and how to release trauma in the body. Since then, practicing hip openers has become an essential part of my pelvic health and womb wellness. So get outside and practice this 10 Minute Hip Opener on a sunset!

I wanted to continue to offer great content to my readers and fellow yogis and wellness lovers. So last week, I was thrilled to announce a brand new yoga fitness video series on my IG called LIFEONAMAT YOGA SERIES!

This is a series where you can find all of my wellness, yoga and fitness in one place. I wanted to create an outlet where I could combine my love for both yoga and science-backed lifestyle tips to help you build better habits and intentions everyday. By knowing WHY we want to make changes and learning HOW the body ignites the change, we are then connected to WHAT we want to change.

Whether you possess Asian ancestry or not, I write this special post to share my thoughts and suggestions on how we can celebrate #AsianPacificAmericanHeritageMonth as well as ways we can reduce the painful effects of ancestral trauma. Our cells are agnostic, they listen to everything going on around us: our mental state, social connections, how we are treated, etc. “The body keeps the score.” Both high adversity and traumatic experiences can negatively transform our stress response system. This system communicates from generation to generation.

in this time, I also know how crucial it is to keep ourselves from going mad and so today I want to share some tips on how to reset your overall space during covid. creating a zen living space is not just fluff, it’s part of our wellness practice and very much an important practice within yoga. Saucha, or cleanliness, falls within the 8 Limbs of Yoga. just as our bodies can become full of toxicities, so can our homes and thus lifestyle.

Toxicity isn’t always a direct human interaction, rather it can culminate from our daily habits, hiding in plain sight! So be aware of the little things as well as the big and make adjustments accordingly. These are my tips for how I get centered after a toxic day.

No this ain’t your mama’s yoga class! It’s called Transform Colorado. Packed with high energy and intensity, these 30 to 45 minute sessions will help you kick it into gear. The room is dark but there’s this electrifying light pulsing from the ceiling and reflecting through the mirrors, creating a cool strobe-like EDM effect. The workout was truly unique.

Body awareness is a major component of practicing yoga because it not only helps you adjust the pose properly, but it strengthens the connection and trust between the mind and body. As you continue to practice with me, you will become more aware of muscle groups and how to work them properly. My Body Awareness Series will specifically target lower back and core muscle groups.

I think we can all agree that moisture is a must if we want soft, beautiful strands. For the longest I’ve always done hot oil treatments at home to help restore and protect my hair! It all started with Okay Pure Naturals Black Jamaican Castor Oil.

What I like about TCM and what I’m learning is that herbs and foods are truly oriented to help you heal. In celebration of the new moon and the harvest season, I’ve selected special ingredients to provide all participants of Root to Rise a healthy post-class treat to help you re-fuel! All of the ingredients were inspired by the world of TCM and curated for the Fall Equinox.

cooking this way for the last year has inspired me to start The daily decrease: recipes for healing, so that I can open up my kitchen and share easy-to-make recipes! bruce lee once said that life is about the “daily decrease”. he believed that reducing any and everything that does not serve our minds and bodies must be removed.

I put together a transitional lookbook based on a contemporary, calm, sophisticated feel. I wanted to express another side of my mood through warmer tones and satin patterns. I’m excited to dress these looks up or down this Fall with a leather jacket or dark denim!

Why is it that inner peace seems so hard to achieve? Why is it that we have all experienced this exhausting + overwhelming emotion? The truth is that we don’t give ourselves enough time to ruminate and build resilience. We want an energy cap that lasts forever. This idea of a race is just a N A R R A T I V E. Therefore, we must focus on WHAT we TELL ourselves. write this post to share some ways in which we can cut down on the noise in our lives so that we can truly listen to our inner needs and wishes.

Today I’m leading you guys through a post-injury yoga sequence with a focus on isometric exercises to strengthen core muscles specifically. 5 strengtheners to help you as you re-gain your mojo! The goal is to lightly re-engage rested muscles, re-energize, and find balance.

The one thing I love about this trend is that it’s meant to push the line, which means anyone can do it. I started following Danessa about 3 or 4 years ago and what captured me the most about her page was that she has this way of making the face a piece of art, it’s like paint on a canvas. The thing about Danessa is that she has this power to empower.

We are now living in a time in which we are collectively healing from thousands of years of trauma, from our ancestral traumas and the untold stories of our mothers and grandmothers. As the body stores this negative energy in the body, it manifests itself through our habits and choices and beliefs. But this pain is present in the womb so that you will know your true story. We tend to look outward for our answers rather than inward. The womb will actually tell us what we need and how to proceed, if only we listen. Today, I am sharing what I learned from Jade Bertaud’s workshop last month, Womb Awakening Workshop: Embodying Your Feminine Radiance.

So today I want to share three tips with you to help engage children in practices and techniques to help them cope and understand what stress is. We want to give them the tools early! These skills do take practice. Practice, practice, practice! The more we help them create healthy habits on a daily basis, the easier it becomes for them to manage life on their own as they develop.
