💕Essential Rituals Before I Teach Yoga: My Pre-Class Prep Routine

As a yoga teacher, it’s so important to ground myself before class. These are some of my essential pre-class rituals that help me feel balanced, focused, and ready to guide others:

✨Evian water - Hydration is key! I always start with getting refreshed and energized. @evianwater 

✨Liquid I.V. Electrolytes (no sugar added) - Boosts hydration and keeps me feeling my best during class. @liquidiv 

✨Rare Beauty Glimmer Gloss -
A subtle, natural shine to keep my lips hydrated and looking fresh. @rarebeauty 

✨Mini Hydro Flask - I love this compact, insulated bottle for keeping my electrolytes cold and portable. @hydroflask 

✨Saje Yoga Essential Oils Roller - A quick roll-on for a calming and grounding aroma, helping me stay focused and centered. @sajewellness 

These simple yet effective rituals help me stay centered and prepared for class. Whether you’re a teacher or just need a pre-class moment for yourself, to me, these essentials make all the difference.

Chasing goals, one step at a time.

First step: getting to the gym.
Wearing my Nike V2K Run in Metallic Silver — these are my go-to for walking, running, and everything in between. Sleek, comfy, and they catch the light just right.

Just the essentials 🤍

Wearing this tiny but mighty Nano Purse Pouch from Lululemon to the gym lately and loving how it fits *just* what I need - keys, cards, hair tie. That’s it! 😅 

I just bring water + sunglasses (prescription sunnies to see when driving lol) and I’m good to go. Hands-free and no bulky bag 🙌

Love my gym even more because they provide all the essentials 🙌

No need to overpack—between the Dyson hair dryers, Dove deodorant, and Ouai lotion, I’m fully set post-workout.

Honestly makes my gym routine feel more like a spa day 💆‍♀️✨

Just a little forest self-care moment 

When I crave more space to breathe, nature always gives me that. There’s something about walking through the trees that helps quiet my mind and bring me back to myself. No pressure, no noise - just presence.

I threw on my favorite flowy black mesh pants (they move with every step), a classic Panama hat, and these denim platform shoes that somehow make me feel grounded and a little elevated — in more ways than one. 

Linked these pieces (or similar) that made this slow moment feel a little more *me*. #LTKfit #foresttherapy #slowstyle #nature #style #ootd

Grounding down before teaching yoga 

Here’s a little behind-the-scenes of how I prepare for my yoga class - it's all about tuning into my vibe for the day. The first step? Music. I always start by picking out songs that match the energy I’m feeling… or maybe what I want to feel. Today, I’m going for something soft and grounding, but also a little uplifting. My integration song today? Adorn by Miguel… honestly, it’s just such a vibe. It’s like the perfect balance of energy - smooth, soulful, and a little bit dreamy.

Typically toss my hair up in a messy bun - because let’s be real, who’s got time for perfection? 

By the time I pull up to the studio, I’ve already sunk into the rhythm of the day,
For my outfit I’ve been adding a little touch of fun to my look. Recently, I’ve been all about these lace duster shawls—such a cute way to girly up my outfit with a 
 little layer of grace to add to the movement of the class.

Now, I’m ready to check in my students and step onto the mat. I feel grounded, a little bit elevated, and totally in my own flow.

Health is Wealth – Move in a Way That Moves You

As a yoga instructor, I’m always guiding others through movement—but I’ve learned how important it is to also always be a student. I love (and need) to carve out time just for me, to reconnect, recharge, and move in ways that feel good for my body.

Love coming to one of my favorite Pilates studios in Newport Beach— @drenchedoc This beautiful space always inspires me to show up fully, even on the busiest days.

Whether it’s yoga, a walk, pilates, or dancing around your kitchen—move today in a way that excites you. You don’t need hours, just intention.

And to wrap up? I take @grunsdaily Grüns sugar-free gummies for a quick boost of greens and vitamins. They taste like candy!!

✨Why I continue to make time for this... 

As much as I love teaching yoga as an instructor, taking a yoga class as a student is equally important (if not more).

❤️The hardest part sometimes is simply getting there (finding the extra time, not feeling like driving to get there, prioritzing other things that are important). 

I encourage you this - simply show up.  Whether you’re feeling happy, sad, excited, nervous..... 

Once you’re actually on your mat, it’s a reminder that you’re giving yourself a moment to breathe, move, and let go.  It’s a chance to show up for you so you have the capacity to show up for others. 

❤️You deserve that space, that time, and the joy it brings (or anything else that you like to do that makes you feel at peace). 

This is your much needed reminder to take a pause and reflect on how you want to spend your time today.  Hoping you’re able to show up to the experiences that you feel add value to your life. 

Side note - Im obsessed with my new black leopard print yoga mat!  Similar mats linked ✨💕

Workout tip: That Cool-Down Stretch Is the Unsung Hero

The real magic happens in the cool-down stretch. It’s key for recovery and muscle relief—don’t skip it! 💪

How a Disco Ball Turned My Yoga Class Into a Whole Vibe

I wanted my yoga space to feel both grounding and playful—calm, but with a spark. So I added a disco ball. What started as a fun idea quickly became a total vibe shift. Once it starts spinning, the room lights up, the energy lifts, and class feels like a whole new experience.

It’s unexpected, a little magical, and totally loved by my students (and me!). The reflections move with the breath, adding a layer of light and joy to every flow.

Sometimes it’s the smallest details that make the biggest difference. A disco ball might not be typical—but it’s pure transformation.

PILATES GO TO OUTFIT 

Lately I’ve been wearing a black short onesie under baggy pants to pilates and I’m obsessed. 

The onesie keeps everything in place during class, and the loose pants make it easy to run errands after without feeling too exposed. 

Comfy, easy, and makes me feel put-together. #LTKfit #PilatesLook

Bodysuit for Yoga & Pilates (That Actually Stays in Place!)

If you love leggings and a tank for class—but want something a little more elevated— CALIA bodysuits!!! 

Bodysuits are sleek, sculpting, and do not budge while you move. No slipping straps, no rolling waistband—just smooth, supportive comfort from warm-up to savasana. I’m petite and it fits so well—no awkward bunching or saggy spots.  

It’s the perfect alternative when you want a studio-ready look that’s also cute enough for coffee after. Just throw on a hoodie or jacket and go.

I tried the heated Pilates reformer classes at Drenched OC—and let’s just say, I’m hooked! Newport Beach’s first and only heated reformers take it to the next level. The heat makes everything feel extra intense (in the best way), and my muscles are definitely feeling it! If you’re up for a challenge and a serious sweat, check it out! 

Also, I love the Pilates outfit look so much!!  The grippy socks???  Here for it!  Hehehe 

#LTKActive #LTKStyleTip #LTKWatchNow
I love an all-black workout / pilates outfit—there’s something about it that just makes me feel so put together! To complete the look, I add white grippy socks to switch up from my black matching set.  Grippy socks are obviously required but they great stability and comfort during every session, plus they feel super breathable and cozy. The past-ankle style has really grown on me, and I love how it adds a sleek touch to my workout.

VIBEY YOGA STUDIO IN NEW YORK CITY

Let me show you one of my favorite yoga studios in New York. 

➡️Have you been searching for a yoga studio? 

➡️Whether you’re living or visiting New York, I found what I called my yoga home for a few days while vacationing in SoHo. 

✨Sui Yoga @suiyoganyc is like finding tranquility in the middle of all of the busy energy of the city. 

✨It’s a peaceful sanctuary where you can practice yoga and enjoy coffee or tea at their in house cafe. 

✨After taking class, I’d sit at their chairs outside to simply chill and zone out. 

✨Lots of people take classes here so the classes are full of likeminded yogis looking for a serene escape. 

➡️Have you been here before or would you go?
