Finding little ways to have fun and test out new creative ideas. 💛 I couldn’t wait to put a yoga spin on a trendy TikTok challenge I’ve seen lately and this is the result. 🥰🧘🏻‍♀️ Which color activewear is your favorite? #MelDoesYoga #MyYogaLife #Headstand

Yesterday I read that NYC is officially an epicenter of COVID-19, accounting for 5% of the world’s global cases. 🌍 I’m doing my best to stay positive but, like many, am experiencing a wide range of emotions daily. It’s difficult to accept that this will be our reality for quite some time. 😞💕
⠀
Even though #socialdistancing is CRUCIAL for our community, all the heartbreaking news coupled with staying indoors has been taken a bit of a toll on me. ✨ I’m counting my blessings for @bayphillips and for endless virtual workouts and FaceTime dates w/ gal pals. 🍷 I know that being able to WFH is a privilege that many do not have.⠀
⠀
I’ve also been looking at our apartment in a new light. ✨ It may not be a house of our own but we’ve spent nearly a year turning this into our vibrant, little haven and these colorful rooms have brought me joy during this dreadful pandemic. 🍋 (SWIPE 👈🏼) ⠀
⠀
You’ll be seeing a lot of content from within these walls and even though I no longer can share the trendy fitness/wellness spots of NYC, my hope is that I can always be a source of positivity, happiness and helpful resources to keep you healthy at home. 💕✨ ⠀
⠀
I’ll close with a reminder that it’s okay to ride these emotional waves. ✨ As we all figure this out together, let’s try to remove judgment and replace it with compassion and empathy. ⠀
⠀
If you’re struggling, I see you and am sending so much love. 😘 We will get through this and rise up stronger than before. #MyThoughts #LifeAtHome

My favorite yoga pawtner. 🐶💕 Today marks the end of my 6 day #FlowAtHome yoga challenge and all of your messages of support have left my heart so happy. 🧘🏻‍♀️ ⠀
⠀
I’ve saved all the demos to my IG Highlights and will be continuing to share my practice with you all in different ways. ✨ ⠀
⠀
I’ll admit, I’m so used to group fitness classes that it’s been hard for me to find my groove. 🤷🏻‍♀️ But the 30 min on my yoga mat each day, along with a few virtual workouts, has been such a saving grace. How are you all adjusting? 🤔 #MelDoesYoga #YogaWithDogs

WHAT BOOK ARE YOU READING RIGHT NOW? 📖 Idk about you but all these nights inside have definitely allowed me to stay true to my goal of reading before bed every night. 🤓 Most of you know I’ve been re-reading the HP series and I’m nearing the end of the 5th book now. ⚡️ After I finish all 7 I’m probably going to move on to @hannahorens “Playing with Matches.” 🔥 I’d love to know what you’re reading and loving! #bookworm #readingnook

Give yourself permission to do one thing today that makes you smile. 💕 Mine started with making these “beary” cute pancakes 🥞 and now I’m getting ready to film DAY 3 of my #FlowAtHome yoga challenge 🧘🏻‍♀️ before doing my first group workout with friends over Zoom. 👏🏻 Pretty sure it’s going to be a @meganroup dance cardio class on @obe_fitness! ⠀
⠀
What little things are making you smile today? Share those positive vibes with us! #MelsMeals #SimpleBreakfast

One happy thing? It’s officially the first day of Spring! 🌸 And even though we can’t necessarily enjoy it to the fullest, the transition of seasons can also be such a powerful reminder that everything in life is temporary. ✨⠀
⠀
Before I go film a flow for day 2 of my #FlowatHome yoga challenge, let’s share something we LOVE to do in the Spring. Even if we can’t do that thing now it gives us something to look forward to. 💕 ⠀
⠀
My personal favorite is seeing the cherry blossoms bloom in Central Park and Brooklyn Botanic Garden. 🌸 Your turn.👇🏼⠀

Kicking off my #FlowAtHome yoga challenge and today’s signature pose is #SidePlank. 💕✨ Swipe 👈🏼 to see all the poses in this 6 day series. ⠀
⠀
I shared a video demo on my stories which includes a few different variations and two ways to kick up the intensity 🔥. I’ll be doing this daily with you but may not be posting the pose to my feed so be sure to check my Stories! 🤗⠀
⠀
I hope you all use the 30 min on your yoga mat as an opportunity to disconnect from the chaos of the world and re-direct your focus inwards. 💕
We are all in this together and I’m so thankful for each and every one of you. #MelDoesYoga #MyYogaLife

This is what my #StPatricksDay is looking like. 🍀 A matcha mango smoothie (ingredients on my Stories), play time with the pups, and a little home yoga practice. 🧘🏻‍♀️💕⠀
⠀
I’m currently writing out a gratitude list of some reasons why I’m feeling thankful even in this situation: ⠀
🍀 Having more quality time with my husband and pups⠀
🍀 Being able to connect with all of you via social media .
🍀 That my family and friends are just a phone call away ⠀
🍀 Plenty of movies/shows to watch on Netflix ⠀
🍀 To have a job that allows me to work from home comfortably .
🍀 The ability to create a mini yoga challenge to bring us all together ⠀
⠀
I know it can be hard to think of something positive, but I promise writing out a gratitude list can help SO much! ❤️ ⠀
⠀
If you feel comfortable sharing, I’d love to hear what YOU are thankful for. 👇🏼 #HomeSweetHome
