Several years ago I was a wreck. I felt lost and sad, I was so used to being an active person and then suddenly found myself exhausted and in physical pain. I didn’t know how to move my body or what made me happy. I was trying to be something I’m not. Fast forward to present day and I’ve found a movement practice that healed my body and spirit. I’m more grounded, hella strong and getting closer to doing the splits 🤸🏽‍♀️ I’ve regained my confidence in being my intellectual eccentric self and am actively building my community. My birthday is coming up and for the first time in a looooong time I actually feel like celebrating! And if climate chaos doesn’t do us all in, I’m excited for the next 32 years. Ps if like dancing from 3-7, you’re invited to my birthday party 🥳 📸 @violainelenoir #beforeandafter #partytime #momlife #mombod #emotionalhealth #growth #capricorn #eccentric #hattricks #fresnotacos #nachos #hottea

Some days are harder than others. My most recent mantra has been to take a deep breath, do a hair flip and remember what I do in a summer dress 🤣🍑 Also I put together a booklet of foods to support your menstrual cycle, which is more than just menstruation. Being the owner of a uterus can be a wild adventure and discomfort is not a prerequisite, new research shows that good nutrition can help soothe all of your body’s processes. If you experience menstruation or know someone who does, get a copy. It’s free so spread the love normalize menstruation. #linkinbio #knowledgeispower #spreadthelove #periodmovement #normalizeperiods #hairflip #bodysuitsarethebest #isitsummeryet #uterquesquad 📸 @violainelenoir And thanks to my grandma @ninaserrano34 @ninaserrano5894 and @estuarypress for the poems about periods

Looking back at history and trying to understand the pain so that the next generation can break the cycle. On this dark day in history, I’m honoring those that are, were and have been struggling for justice. We can’t undo the past but we can change the future. #decolonize #legacy #knowyourhistory #lookingback #justice #indigenousrights

Is it summer yet? I’m trying to appreciate all that fall brings but tbh, I’m already freezing all the time and it’s not even winter. I do love mushroom hunting and am excited to wear my new winter snow suit ☃️#chantrelles #beachbabes #sutrobaths #bestcoast #fridayvibes #sunset 📸 by @violainelenoir

I’m often surprised by the number of women that don’t know that their abs have separated after pregnancy. I specially became a trainer because of the lack of awareness and information about female bodies. So much of the fitness world is based off of male athletes. And yes a lot transfers over to everyone else but there are some differences, especially when it comes to postpartum bodies. I design my classes to help people regain strength and stamina to live their best life. Come through MWF at 9 am to get your heart pumping and good vibes flowing 😜 and because according to the playlist at the grocery store, its the holidays which can be challenging so make sure you have a healthy outlet to keep you grounded. #theholidays #mombod #mwf #womenshealth #mixedmovement #abseparation #diastasisrecti #postpartumbody #fridayvibes #womensupportingwomen #feelingcute #selfcare #selfcarematters #postpartumexercise #jointhemovement

Reserve your spot for this strength based class! Let me know if you’re coming to Feminist Pole Fitness next week so I can send you the suggested reading 📖 we’ll go over some choreography and do some strength training while discussing ways to subvert the make gaze and reclaim our self expression. And as always there will be hella booty popping. Join me next Friday 11/22 @themissionhqfitness from 7:30-9 pm #🍑 #feministaf #bayareadance #alameda #mombod #badgirlsclub #hella #polefitness #suggestedreading

#selfcarematters and is different than #selfcomforting No one benefits from our lack of self care and it’s not selfish. Live a life that incorporates the things you need to feel your best like rest, nutritious food and a movement practice that you enjoy along with creative and social outlets that feel energizing and fulfilling. I love teaching Mixed Movement because it makes me feel centered especially when my “mom“ identity feels like my only identity. #selfcare #mixedmovement #restorative #bayareadance #momlife #findingbalance

Keeping sustainability sexy has been my motto. As a young teen I opted for goddess locs and started my natural body care journey. All my soap and chemical free living didn’t stop me from competing in the Miss Oakland pageant or taking glamour shots at @fairylandca . It’s been almost a decade since I cut my locks off but I still maintain my lustrous hair and radiant skin with all homemade products. #excusemyvanity #keepingsustainabilitysexy #duckinggorgeous #fairyland #fairylandforgrownups #godesslocs #naturalhair #followtheyellowbrickroad #throwback #fieldofpoppies #oilwashing #chemicalfree

I’ve been trying to soak up the last drops of sunlight lately. It’s so hard for me to say goodbye to summer but I’ve also been taking advantage of having easy access to the spirit world. I want to say thank you to the women who have helped me release, get grounded and find some major flow with a pancreas massage @tarawinklercmt , womb meditation @plcogley and mentoring. For the first time in a while I felt energized and focused and that everything was going to be ok. Single parenting/entrepreneuring/just living in the bay can be a struggle. I’m feeling grateful that I have so much support on this plane and others. #goldenhour #ourladyofthelake #iammyancestors #ancestralhealing #meditation #planningmom #womensupportingwomeninbusiness #womenempoweringwomen #cousins

Took a minute to sit outside and say hi to some friends hanging outside in the parking lot 🌱🐞 yesterday was one of those days that just felt hard. taking a moment to appreciate the little things helps me get out of my head and feel more connected. Life is absolutely amazing and I definitely get caught up in “the daily grind” and forget to be grateful for the little things, like the sweet aroma of fresh fennel or the gentle rustling of wild oats. Even in the city there is pant magic everywhere 🌇🌾✨ #parkinglotparty #parkinglit 😜 #lol #ladybugparty #sunshineinmylife #fennel #oatstraw #computerbreak #movingforward

Fall is a great time to start looking within. I’ve been taking time to review this past year and find ways to improve in my personal and professional life. I’ve spent much of my life running from and suppressing my feelings. Hearing feedback has been really hard. Recently I noticed how a past trauma was disrupting my life so I took some time to open up and let go of some things I was holding onto. I immediately noticed positive changes happen and was able to get out of my own way. I’m not “fixed” by any means but now I’m able to take time to and try to find my blind spots and opportunities for growth. #fallreflections #personalgrowth #saturdaymorning #feelingproud #personalbest #journeytomybestself #encinalboatlaunch #sfbay

I’ve been dreaming about hosting this workshop for years but I’ve been hesitant because I sometimes get in my own way. I’m a big picture thinker and see endless possibilities but with the support of @agnetalifeandwellness I was able to make and plan and execute it. So now I’m excited (and a still a little nervous 😬) to announce that I’m facilitating a make and take workshop to make your own body care products with essential oils. Many products that people use have nasty ingredients for you and the environment. So show yourself and our earth some love by learning to make your own body care products with me on Sunday October 20 @queenhippiegypsy 10-12 More info and tickets available in the link in my bio #DIY #womensupportingwomen #naturalbeauty #blackgirlmagic #myoilsareessential #oakland #thingstodoinoakland #breakingthrough #earthfirst #creatingmemories #feelinghellagood

I love seeing people win! I especially love seeing people I work with go beyond their goals. I started working with Wilson @renalwarrior2016 a few years ago and now opened up @themissionhqfitness to support other people heal, grow and surpass what they thought was possible. If you want support to transform your life, we have a great team dedicated to seeing every body win! #themissionhq #renalwarrior #outshineyourpain #alameda #teamworkmakesthedreamwork #mondaymotivation And I teach 2 free low impact classes a week for seniors and people with chronic illness on Tuesday and Wednesday’s at 10 am.

#beachbabes celebrating the end of summer. The #SFBay is absolutely glorious. I’ve lived in the Bay Area my whole life and never imagined leaving it. I’m so lucky to have a massive support system that allows means my kid to stay.
