MY JOURNEY TO YOGA

I was over 300 lbs & my good friend was trying to convince me to try Yoga. My words were..."I can't do yoga...I would look like a beached whale on the mat." Man... was my perception wrong. After losing 50lbs I told her I would go to my first class. That class changed everything. I fell in love with Yoga. For a person who had a horrible relationship with myself...yoga has allowed me to find love for my body 💜 Fast forward 7 years...I now am a Yoga & meditation teacher...I own my own studio...I love my body & I empower others to do the same. Yes...I am still plus sized...and I love who I am. I now realize that taking care of yourself has to start from the inside...without love for yourself you will never be happy at any size! I have also found essential oils along my Yoga journey...which has allowed me to infuse my Yoga practice with essential oils. I want to empower other Yoga teachers to infuse essential oils into their yoga practice & lives. I also want to encourage other to take steps towards overall health and wellness starting from the inside. I have found many natural products that support all the areas of my physical, emotional, mental & spiritual health. Would love to welcome you to my Oilyoga Tribe and help you through your journey in wellness. Let's connect!

Meet Martina

Disrupting Diet Culture. Connecting women back to their bodies. Confident women = confident families!

After going on her own journey from self-hate to self acceptance, and finally self-love...Martina is now empowering women to accept + respect their bodies with her proven method that disrupting diet culture...even if they think weightloss is the only answer to happiness. Here is her story...

I hated my body despite of losing weight. At one point I had lost almost 100 lbs...but guess what? I Still felt the same way about my body. Never feeling good enough or worthy of love and affection. I remember looking in the mirror one day realizing that I hated myself just as much as I did 100 lbs heavier. I was devastated. My relationships were suffering due to my own lack of self-love. I felt sadness. I felt anger. I felt hopeless. But then this happened...

I went to my first Yoga class. A form of movement I never thought I was worthy of attending. I literally felt like I was going to look like a beached whale on a yoga mat. Everyone would judge me. I couldn't bare the embarrassment. Despite of my negative thoughts...I attended my first class. Life changed for me that day. I felt like I connected to my body for the first time. It felt peaceful. It felt freeing. It felt like home. Shortly after my first class I got certified to teach & have never looked back.

I still had a lot to work on in regards to self love, self growth & self worth. I have worked hard on this with a lot of self care, personal development, coaching, yoga, journaling, crystals & using natural products that support my mental and emotional health. I can actually say that I now accept and respect my body. Some days I even love my body!

I strive to love my imperfectly perfect self & empower others to do the same. I want those who dont feel like they fit in to feel like they have a tribe to call their own. Only 4% of women see themselves as beautiful and I am here to change that! I believe that as we become confident women we are raising confident families!

The change starts with you. Self-Love can be achieved at any size & my proven method will transform the way you look at yourself in the mirror. I can't wait to see you shine!
