The end of the first quarter of 2013…and where have I been?!?  What have I been doing?!?  When you look back at January 1, 2013 with your hopes and ambitions high, what was the feeling in your body?  Today, in every cell of my being, I feel the sensations of beginning projects and then the challenges [...]

Catherine Schuller was a smashing success with her “Best Bra Fitting You’ve Never Had!”  workshop at the Full, Fit and Fabulous event!  Says Catherine, “Get fit and try on the bra.  The way you know it is really doing its job is to asses the line of projection. Stand facing the mirror with your arms at your [...]

I was appalled and disgusted by last night’s Biggest Loser Season 14 show. I stopped watching this show a long time ago because of the abuse the trainers lay on the show’s contestants.  I have never pushed a client so far as to sustain an injury and I have never dropped an F bomb in their presence. [...]

1995 – Fit and Fat.  That’s what I stood for.  As a member of the board of NAAFA (National Association to Advance Fat Acceptance) I believed no one should be discriminated against when it came to movement.  And still today I would defend any full figured, plus sized, large, curvy woman who leads or desires to [...]

Just for today I will notice my breath.  No drama.  No chaos. When I think about my breath  (a.k.a. mindful about it) I will review the following: Am I holding my breath? Is my breath stuck?

With the change of the season comes a change of activities.  Now is the time to get outdoors as much as possible before the dreaded Northeast summer heat and humidity.  Walking, biking, hiking through nature…all of these are excellent activities that get you outside and get you moving! At some point, you are going to [...]

I love finding movement opportunities in NYC and the places I travel.  I was thrilled to find this French sport, Pétanque, similar to the Italian Bocce, is right here in Bryant Park! I find many women still believe ‘working out’ is an all or nothing event.  Creating a “Buffet of Movement (c)” is a very [...]

Whew!  It’s been a whirlwind of a month!  Perhaps you feel the same with schedules, work, meetings and what time is left trying to fit in your health and wellness program.  But how do you stay the course when life speeds up?  Here are a few secrets I learned… 1 – Use the movement throughout [...]

My favorite show of all time – Dancing With the Stars – literally has me jumping off the couch, dancing, cheering and screaming with delight! I couldn’t wait to see Kirstie dance – the heels, the form fitting clothes and Maks by her side.  A woman who most likely has stuggled her entire life with [...]
