For the first time in many years, I quietly let the New Year roll in. My usual routine is a host of rituals on New Year’s Eve: incense, painting, writing and smashing an egg symbolic of the things I want to let go of in 2012. But I did nothing this year and I was [...]

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 [...]

Stand In Your Truth

Posted by: Rochelle In: Life

Suze Orman – “stand in your truth.” Simple yet powerful. Dani Johnson – “be honest with yourself.” Easier said than done.

Too Many Sugarplums!?

Posted by: Rochelle In: Life

Wow…talk about taking a trip down memory lane.  While my professional dance career was in jazz dance, my body was always being scrutinized.  Jenifer is absolutely beautiful rising above the criticism and being open and honest about her body.  It’s the dance that should be celebrated! ;)  I am grateful for the work I do [...]

I ordered a roast beef sandwich, lettuce, tomato, Swiss and mustard. Turns out the roast beef was incredibly salty. Less [...]

Rochelle dedicates herself to empowering women of size by connecting the body, the mind, and the heart through focus, movement, and breath. She is the author of Real Fitness for Real Women.

Rochelle is the President of Bryant Park Toastmasters in New York City, Area 33, Club 2895, and became only the 59th Accredited Speaker in the world at the Toastmasters International Convention in Palm Desert, California in August, 2010.
