Hi fam 🤍
Just wanted to say thank you for all the love yesterday on the live and throughout the last few days. Thankfully we were safe during the storm and had very minimal damage (4 days without power, having to throw away everything in our fridge etc). We still have some friends without power, no school all week, and a lot of clean up still happening in our city - so many houses, cars, and favorite places were hit by falling trees. On Friday 97% of the city was without power, with no working stoplights for a couple days so it was a chaotic time.
Asheville is just an hour from us and compared to the devastation they are experiencing I know this is minor. But it meant so much to me that you took the time to send love our way.
I’m thankful for this community and all the ways we show up for each other. 🤍
Here’s me and one of my minis having some cereal by candlelight during the storm. Our table is by the windows so we did a picnic on the floor instead.
One thought I had would be so helpful for the future for anyone going through a period of not having power and having to conserve battery on their devices - it would be so cool to have even just one or two workouts with instructions in written form that we could pull out for a quick destress. I really missed moving with you all!

Emily I’m so sorry to hear about your dad. Sending so much love.
I’ve tweaked my lower back/hips a few times. I had to find a balance with movement during those times - staying still did not help because my back would stiffen up. But going hard at workouts also made the pain worse. I’d focus on alignment and form over intensity, add in some healing hips classes - breathe into the stretches but be gentle with it. If something feels off while you’re working out try to tune in and adjust/modify. Use the ball for support during abs, etc. Chiropractor also helped when things felt really off. 🤍🤍 sending love and healing vibes!
