evepostappleOnce upon a time, there was a woman named Eve, who, unable to resist the luring temptation of a fragrant orchard, took a bite of forbidden fruit from the tree of knowledge. Perhaps Eve was bored. Perhaps she was ovulating and had a desperate craving for something sweet. Perhaps life in the little garden was becoming stressful or claustrophobic. Perhaps she felt out of control or lacked passion in her life and in order to numb her emotions or soothe herself from Adam's lack of attention or his ambivalence in starting a family, she chose to indulge. Perhaps Eve was an emotional eater. But as Eve soon discovered, neither the bite, nor the whole fruit fulfilled her as she had hoped. Not only did she realize she was naked but that she had contempt for the way she looked. Perhaps Eve suffered with body dismorphia. Eve tried to stop eating the forbidden fruit and eventually avoided eating altogether but that didn't work and she ended up eating until she could no longer breathe. The point of this is that Eve lost her intuitive ability to nourish herself. She no longer had balance in her life and was willing to do any and everything to get that back.

Maybe Eve didn't exist. Maybe the stories that were told are not as important as the stories we tell ourselves.

This blog is dedicated to creating new stories based on the philosophies of whole body nutrition, self-love, intuition, fitness and yoga.

In my journey I have sought to uncover the knowledge and balance which have brought me to a greater awareness of health and this is what I wish to share with you.

    Suspension Training

    I just turned the page in my August issue of Oxygen Magazine to find my gorgeous coach Fatima Leite Kusch, demonstrating an awesome suspension training workout!  I was at the gym on the elliptical at the time and was just about to start my strength training program when I felt inspired to try Suspension Training for the first time and all I have to say is WOW, what a burn!!

    There’s me drenched in sweat after finishing my workout

    For those of you unfamiliar with Suspension Training, it is a method of training that intensifies each movement because of the fact that you must use your stabilizer muscles and core in order to perform the movements.

    If you are looking to increase your total body strength or just mix things up, this is the workout for you!  I had an awesome session and absolutely loved Oxygen’s workout.  It felt great to mix things up and I can already feel the DOMS coming on.  

    I think I may have to pick up my own suspension apparatus.  Not only does it provide a wicked workout, it is easy to pack and travel with.  If you are interested in Suspension Training, click here for more information on what to look for in your suspension gear.
