Weekly Wellness: 3 reasons why Yoga can help you to cultivate self-love
Yoga has been the practice that started my self-love journey. Yoga allowed me to connect to my body, my breath, my heart. I discovered what inner peace felt like. Yoga made me feel strong, confident & worthy. Yoga definitely can help to cultivate self-love and here are some reasons why!

1. Connect to YOU!
As women, we often find ourselves caught up in this busy, hectic world that we rarely find time to connect to ourselves. Women often end up giving from a empty cup. We are forced into believing that self-love is selfish...which is very far from the truth! Yoga is a great way to make some time to connect to your body, mind & spirit. My favourite ways to fit some Yoga time into my day are things like:
- Taking 5 minutes to focus and connect to my breath
- Do some gentle yoga poses at my desk
- Do some gentle yoga while cooking dinner
- Find some time at the end of the day to listen to a meditation and find silence

2. Improved body image
Yoga allows you to create a relationship with your body through movement. It allows you to practice possibilities rather than limitations. It teaches us how to observe, not judge. It also brings you into the present moment and helps us to tap into our inner wisdom. All these attributes of Yoga make it a beautiful way to work on improving your body image.

3. Increases Confidence
There are many aspects of Yoga that helps to build your confidence. Yoga helps you to increase your focus and relieves stress. It helps to increase your empowerment, clarity of mind, and your posture. All these things contribute to how confident you are! 

I hope these tips help you to see the benefits of adding Yoga to your self-love journey! It has been a life changing part of my life & I am so grateful I stepped out of my comfort zone and tried Yoga! 

If you want to do some yoga with me I have a small collection of Yoga videos on YouTube!

Let's find your magic!

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!
