Morning Metcon at @gravitydxb to get sweeaatyyyy with @dubaifootprints 👯💕 Then worked a little on my presses 😇 Haven't had much flag practice, but training all over functional movements means that I haven't lost it 😁😁 It really made my day to float up into some flag fun 🎉❤ #Calisthenics

So many years of education yet nobody ever taught us how to love ourselves and why it's so important. 🙏🌞 Aiming to love my self more this year and encourage others to do the same! 💛 #2016goals

After a few rest days, I HAD to get my lazy butt moving. Squats, dips and pull ups were on the menu 💁💛 PS I'm back to brunette 💃 Blonde was fun, but this is me 😇🙆 #girlsthatlift

Throwback to one of my favourite moments from last year 💃🌞 I actually still think about it daily because I have a scar from rope burn on my right thumb 😂😂 After many many attempts I wore away some skin 🙈 But that moment the wave came to cool me off, it made it so worth it 🌊 Life truly has some beautiful moments ✌🐙 #BestMemories #MissThatTan

😂😂😂 I'm not even an actor... Well the holiday season got to me! 🙋 Anyone else? Time to train hard, eat clean and get back to feeling great! 😁🙆 I've had an amazing time with my nearest and dearest, but it's so true that eating crap makes you feel crap 💁 Energy levels are rubbish, I can't sleep well at night, workouts feel sluggish, and I don't fit into some of my clothes the same 🙈 I've been eating squeaky clean the past few days and already feeling so much better! 😇💛 All about eating great and feeling GREAT 😍 #NourishYourBody

Joined some beasts at @crossfitmetalize for a long session today! 😅 Worked on lots of snatches, some heavy squats, gymnastics; and finished with a really gross 20 minute metcon with cleans, front squats, burpees box jump overs, and thrusters... 🙈 These athletes are serious machines 😍💛 My legs are gonna feel this tomorrow!! I then got to puppy press off @misharmz13 👯❤ Was hard to stabilise and lift up, especially cause my quads kept cramping in pike 😂😇 #AcroYoga

"Set some goals. Smash the sh*t out of them. Clap for your damn self" 😇 Be proud of your journey! Real time movements 🎥💙 Handstand to crow 🐤 #yogaeverydamnday

A fellow trainer told me that a client of his used me as an example of what they don't want their body to look like 😅🙈 Said that I was too muscular and she didn't want to look that way. I had a little giggle because it's not the first time someone has said that, and it won't be the last. The trainer's response was that I've worked really hard for a while and it will take her a lot to get into the shape I am.. but what I want this lady to know is that I don't want to look like her either 😇 I don't want to look like anyone else! And she shouldn't want to look like me, or anyone else - that shouldn't be the goal. The goal shouldn't be to look a certain way, the goal should be to be healthy and fit for YOUR individual lifestyle 😍🙆 I don't train to look any particular way. I train for fitness and performance. I train to feel great, I train to live a long healthy life, I train to find out what the best version of myself is, I train to learn some badass skills, I train to because I'm privileged to have this body that allows me to workout. I train for MANY other reasons than looking like someone else. 😉💜

Standing splits aren't my favourite, and I rarely practice them 🙊 But definitely something I want to work on.. Just need to start implementing them into my daily practice. Consistency is key!! 👌💛 I'm excited for the new year, many things to work on and so much to room for growth 😍🎉 #splitseverydamnday

"MINDFULNESS is simply being aware of what is happening right now without wishing it were different. Enjoying the pleasant without holding on when it changes - which it will. Being with the unpleasant without fearing it will always be this way - which it won't." 🌊🌊🌊 #Mindfulness #BePresent 🙆

End of my weekend of learning everything about FITNESS 💙 The most professional, well structured, empowering and knowledgeable course I have been on. Learnt SO much from the talented @CrossFit staff and the amazing fellow participants on the course 🙆 I'm so motivated for my own training and practice across aalll goals as well as training clients to do the same 🎉❤ The course ended with an hour long tough exam, and I'll find out in a week if I'm officially a @CrossFit Level 1 Trainer 😇 Thank you @RigCrossFit for the incredible hospitality and letting me split across the squat rack 😂🐒 #FitnessDork

Handstand press fun with @dareene as my base 😍😁 Absolutely LOVE the challenge of the instability in this partner pose 👯 Looking forward to the day I can hold a straight handstand on a pair of feet 😅💖 #loveachallenge 🎉

Having my favourite people in the world visit me here in Dubai has been tough on my normal routine. I feel like I'm eating a lot more of things I normally wouldn't, I feel like I've gained weight and I've lost strength. It's beginning to be tough to balance it all. 😇🌞 However you can always go back to your normal routine after the holidays. What you can't get back are moments and experiences with your close friends and family. It's the time to let your hair down and do what you don't get to for the rest of the year, it's the time to venture outside of your comfort zone and break away from that routine. 🌈 #thoughtoftheday

The more I workout, train and practice the more I love my body. Not cause it's perfect, far from it actually. But because with every session, every sweaty rep, every stretch and handstand, my body proves to me that I am capable of more than I ever thought was possible. 😇💛 #MorningMotivation #LoveYourBody

Active rest day was very active indeed!! 💃 Started by finding out I PASSED my @Crossfit Level 1 Trainer exam 😁😱🎉 Then went for a long paddle around the Burj Al Arab with @markymcd91 and @tommy.tatt 👯 It was sssooo beautiful to get out on the water! 😇 #ActiveLiving #ForearmFriday 🙆

😂😂😂 It is a very valid point! #AnAppleADay 🍎😉

This cheeky wave decided to photobomb my handstand shot 😂 Luckily I managed to hold form 💛🌞 Quick handstand drill workout todaaayy! Busy busy day today 😅 So fit in what I could! Exciting things happening ❤ Watch this space!!

It was a yoga kind of morning down at the beach with @nikitamansfield 👯❤ Only her second time ever doing yoga, so we did a long beautiful beginners flow together 🙆 Now to enjoy the waves, the sun and my last day with my bestie 💛💛💛 #PositiveVibesOnly

"It's a slow process, but quitting won't speed it up." 😇 #DontGiveUp 🙆 My first time lowering into chin stand with straight legs this morning 💃 #PracticePracticePractice 🌈

Early start this morning for a really great calisthenics workout with @dubaifootprints 👯❤ Really felt good to be back at @gravitydxb this morning! #FitnessDork #Calisthenics

Anyone that doesn't agree with leggings as pants can fight me! ✋ And I'm going to win because I have full range of motion due to the fact that I'M WEARING LEGGINGS AS PANTS 💁 #YogaPantsEveryDay #ReadyForAnything 😂💃👌

😱 I'm so excited!! Coming to Dubai is a massssiivvee two day mega yoga festival 😍😍 Two incredible days for everyone and anyone! February 19 - 20th @XYogaDubai and @MyDubai will host yogis from the region and from around the world for workshops, sessions and so much more! 🙆💜 Who's gonna join me?! 🌞 #XYogaDXB

Say YES to new adventures 🙌 Adventures are what push you outside your comfort zone, outside what you've ever experienced, outside what you know. Pushes you to LEARN, to GROW, to be STRONG and CONFIDENT. 🌻 Looking forward to a big year filled with so many new experiences and adventures! 💖 #Adventures

Courage doesn't mean you aren't scared, it's not the absence of fear. It's about being able to continue in the presence of fear, it's the ability to keep going even when you are terrified. 💙 You are allowed to be scared, but don't let it stop you. Feel the fear, and do it anyway 🙆 #thoughtoftheday

Meerrryyy Christmas! 🎄🎅❤ Hope everyone has a beautiful day filled with love and family 😍😁🎉 Don't forget that calories are freeeee today 😂 Enjoy your time with your special ones 🙆🎄 #MerryChristmas

👌 Yes! Errryyy damn day 💁 Trust me, the benefits are far more than just physical 🙆 #yogaeverydamnday ❤

This city taught me the definition of thinking and dreaming big 😍💙 @MyDubai

Filming my handstand practice the other day, and these two men were oblivious to the camera right there 😂🙈 I like to film my practices often, not because I always post it, but because I can watch my own technique and see my alignment 🙆 If you are practicing alone, try filming yourself! Even if it just of you falling over and over 😁 it's very helpful to see and understand your technique 🎥💛 #practicedaily

What an incredibly beautiful morning 😍😱🙏 I was privileged enough to share my passion with over 400 people with @XYogaDubai at @TheBeachDubai 😍🌞 Was a truly humbling experience to meet so many people who follow me here on Instagram too 😇❤ It's a vulnerable feeling to share your life with so many people online, and for others to respond in such a positive way is truly beautiful 🙏 I sat on stage for about 10 minutes before the session started admiring all the gorgeous souls in the crowd, and I felt so much gratitude for that very moment. For everything in life that's led me to today. So many big opportunities coming up, 2016 is going to be huge! And I'm endlessly grateful 🙆💛 #XYogaDubai #XYogaDXB

I've always been one to want to control my environment, my situations around me. Learning more about acro yoga and trusting the support beneath me has taught me a lot about letting go. I trust @markymcd91 with my life, and yet getting into these poses was always a mental challenge for me. I've never really trusted anyone before with partner balances, it's always been something I've battled with, I'm much better with being a strong base 🙆❤ Mark has definitely shown me how to trust, how to let go of control and how to enjoy AcroYoga 🙏 It's truly a beautiful way to practice, filled with lessons beyond physical. 🌞

FITNESS is my passion! It's what wakes me up each morning 🙌 To get myself closer to some goals each day, and equally my clients closer to theirs too! ❤ I would LOVE to take this passion and all my knowledge and experience to @ActiveEscapes!! Would be a dream to be apart of the #TeamActiveEscapes 🌞 Everything I do and coach would be perfect for one of these trips! Body weight training, movements and skills is what I coach 🙆 Please take a couple seconds to head over to @ActiveEscapes and vote for me @ShadesOfJoy.Co 😁💃💛 It means more than I can explain with words! 🙏 #fuelhappiness

Looking forward I'm so excited! The distance between where I want to be and where I am truly inspires me. 🙆 Because I can look back and see how far I've already come, I can see what is possible. I tackled what once seemed impossible, and turned it into my warm up - a crazy thought! There is no limit, and the journey ahead truly excites me 😍❤ 2016 is going to be HUGE #DreamBIG 🙌

You have to find that place that brings out the human in you; the patience in you; the soul in you; the love in you. 🌞❤ #2016goals

My new years tradition ❤🎉 To watch the last sunrise of the year 😍🌞 And my gosh was it a truly stunning one 😱 Check out my snapchat story for more 👻💛 A lot of appreciation for @markymcd91 @nikitamansfield and @wazrob for waking up before the sun with me 👯 #hello2016 #newyearseve

Messing around on the new bars! And the cutest little one came along and wanted to try everything I was doing 😍🙆💕 It really makes my heart jump with happiness to see young girls, girls or women in general, to want to learn how to be strong 💃 And we even had matching pink shoes 💁💖 After this clip she was doing some epic Skin The Cats 😻😸 #strongwomen #mydubai

Post workout trip to the beach for some @wannabananasnack 🍌🍌🍌 It's been a little chilly these past few days ❄💙 (nothing like winter in other countries 😂🙈) But the sky was so blue, and the beach had so many kite surfers doing their thiiinngg 😍🏄👌 To see more of the epic views, check out my snapchat story 👻💛 #treatyoself

Happiest of mornings at @whgym with aaaallll my favourite people 😁👭💕 Thanks for coming and getting sweaty with me @markymcd91 @dubaifootprints @nikitamansfield and @wazrob 💃🌞 A hybrid calisthenics and crossfit session was on the menu, including some handstand play of course! Absolutely made my session when my feet floated up into a handstand press 😱🙆❤ This clip has been sped up to fit in! 🎥 #handstandlove

😂😂 I thought candles would be a little harsh 🙊 In all honestly, life is short! Lighten up, laugh a lot, smile always and be haapppyyy 💃 Tag someone who needs this reminder 😇 Consider it a virtual lamp throw 😉💣 #lifeisshort #lightenup

Up nice and early for a 5km of intervals with @markymcd91 🏃 followed by a yummy stretch in the sun 🌞💕 it wasn't long ago several people told me I wouldn't be able to run again, after dislocating both my knees, and for a little while I believed them. It took a long time for rehab, but now I love to run because I can. I love to be fit, strong and flexible because I'm lucky enough to be able to. 🙆 #loveyourbody

Awesome session with @misharmz13 today! Started with a yummy coffee 😇 and ended with a sore legs, shoulders, abs and triceps 😂 Misha and I have very different strengths, which is why I love and appreciate getting sweaty and building strength with her! 😁 We get to teach each other and help each other👯❤ Learnt a lot today!! #TheSweatLife

Don't get mad. Don't get even. Do better. Much better. Rise above. Become so engulfed in your own success that you forget it even happened. 💜 Focus on you, your goals, your journey. #lifegoals

It's been a magical weekend! 💛 The type of weekend where I forgot about my phone, and really had the best time with my family and closest ones 👫❤ It was incredible! Starting to look into 2016, a new year, with a fresh clear mind on what I want. Sometimes you just need to step outside, and remind yourself of who you are and where you want to be 👌🐪🌞 #MyDubai

Life is too short to take so seriously 😁 Smile while you still have teeth 😜💕 #smileeveryday // Clip has been sped up from 30 seconds to 15 to fit in 🎥🙆

Day 12 of #YogaInThePresent 🙆 How is it the last day already?!?! I've absolutely loooveeed everyone's heart opening posts ❤ Today I have chosen my favourite asana: King Dancer 💃 It's a rather intimidating pose, and it has taken me a while to get to where I am with this asana, practice certainly make progress! Feel free to post any variation 😍 Dancer without a flipped grip, is a beautiful way to work on your balance and splits! You can also use a strap around your foot to practice flipping your grip for king dancer. Don't forget you can also use a wall to hold onto, and work on the balance of this pose. Make sure you warm up your body first! Open your chest, shoulders, spine and hips with poses such as low lunge, camel and tiger. 🐯💛 Today I would also like to ask you what you have learnt over this challenge 🙏 What are you grateful about taking part in #YogaInThePresent ❤ For me it has been getting to know 3 beautiful yogis a lot more: @clarejbyoga @yogakiss and @lib_yoga 👯 You women are truly incredible 😘💜 And a massive thank you to our generous sponsors: @selftaughtyogis @almacustomdesigns @noosabasics @fireandshine @yellow.willow.yoga 🎁🎄

Body weight training with @misharmz13 today! Training with our own body weight and each others 😂😉 Calisthenics and gymnastics fun time with this babe 👯💜 These weighted push ups took a couple of attempts 😁 Watch this space for the fails 😂😇🎥 #AcroCalisthenics

The new year means nothing if you are still in love with your comfort zone. 💖 #PushTheBoundaries #NoComfortZone

Just because you don't know the meaning of camel pose, doesn't mean you can't benefit from it. 🐪🌞 #practiceandalliscoming #onebreathatatime ⛅

I've been wanting to try this for a little while! I feel like it's the next progression from diamond hands 🎉 Very weird to find that point of balance, but certainly not impossible! Managed to get a few goood seconds of air time 💃💛 Such a lovely afternoon in the sun playing with all the new things at the @skydivedubai bar park 😍 Felt like such a kid! 😇 #handstandlove

Active rest day at @AtlantisThePalm 👙🌞 Spent my day with @markymcd91 having an awesome time in Aquaventure 💃💃💃 Going on all the rides, enjoying the sun and sand, watching gorgeous dolphins and being kids for the day 😍 Was a really epic day with my love 👫❤ #KidsAtHeart 😇

THIS is what holidays are for 😍💙 A morning spent by having post yoga breakfast at @thesurfcafedubai and then SUP fun at @surfhousedubai 🏄👙 #MyDubai

😂😂😂 Breakfast thoughts this morning! The aim is to find that balance of loving what you eat and eating what loves you back 🙆 Nourish your body with food that serves your lifestyle! #EveryoneBelongsInTheKitchen 🍉🍌🍭🍒🍓🍝🍊🍕🍳🍦🍑🍏🍇

Presses everyday 🙌 Aiming for consistency, need to work on these daily ❤ #practicedaily

"People think embracing life means to jump off cliffs and kiss strangers. Maybe it's just slowly learning to love yourself." 🌞🌞🌞 #LoveYourself

Make it your mission to be the reason someone smiles today! 😁💛 Trust me, you won't regret it 🙆 #spreadthelove

It's #FRIYAAAYYY 💃💃 Had a really good week of practice, progress, training and working hard 😅 And today is going to be my day to let my body recover 😇 Hello rest day!! 🙋🙋 #Fitness

We either make ourselves miserable or we make ourselves strong. The amount of work is the same. ✌💛 The power is down to YOU 🙆 /// Throwback to the last sunrise of 2015 😍🌅 An absolute freezing windy morning 😅❄ But the sky was simply magical! @MyDubai 🐪 #thesweatlife #fuelhappiness

Being busy and being productive are two different things. 👌 #getproductive

Started today with some fasted cardio and then a little hand balance play 😁💛 Crow --> Flying Crow --> Eight Angle --> Straddle Hold --> Quad Cramps 😂🙈 #practicepracticepractice 🙆

A bird does not sing because it has an answer. It sings because it has a song. 🐣 #singyourownsong 😇💛

What rest day?! 😂 Had SUCH a blast at @bouncemideast 💃 Playing with aaalll my new skills! Working a lot on wall running and flips today 😇 but obviously still had to get in some handstands 😉 Worked up a crazy sweat! A very very active rest day 😍💛 #handstandeveryday

One of my goals this year is to nourish my body better! 🙌 I don't eat awfully, but I don't really think too much about what I eat. And I'd like to change that! I KNOW that fueling your body correctly can increase your performance, your recovery, help with your moods aannnddd help you sleep better. I know all this.. everyone does. But it's time I do something about it 😁 This weekend I heard the quote "Eating without thinking is like p*ssing in your Lamborghini and hoping for the best." 😂👌 Well we all need quality fuel!! It's time I start treating my body like a Lambo 💁 And it will start performing like one too! #LoveYourself

This is tooooo cute 😻 And extremely accurate 😇 Sometimes it feels like your are putting in soo much work, and it there isn't much on the surface to show for it. Trust me it WILL pay off. Every rep, every step, every second is leading somewhere. You just have to keep going! It really does pay off 🌻🌻🌻 Art by @chibirdart 💛 #KeepGoing

This may be the best little case I've ever seen 😱😍💛 And it's mine!! Thank you so much @XDubai and @XYogaDubai for generously making me feel apart of the best team! 🙆 I'm SO excited for the #XYogaDXB main event on the weekend of 19th and 20th of February!! And keep your eyes peeled for some really fun things leading up to it 💃❤ I can't wait to share with you what is planned 🙊 #WatchThisSpace #XDubai 💛

Well I wasn't going to post this 😂 But this made me laugh so much! My self timer makes noise, you can hear it beeping down and beeping when it takes.. and people are still in their own world and don't notice! I absolutely love taking photos 😁 it's a fun creative way to keep track of your progress and check your own technique 😇 It's also taught me a lot about being confident! Especially when I take photos in parking lots 😅🙆 #yogisofinstagram 💙

😂😂😂 Press play, and tap for the sound 🎥😅 A throwback to a few months ago when I had a tan and blonde hair, and @markymcd91 and I decided to try AcroYoga 💑 We really had no idea what we were doing! This clip makes me smile so much 😁❤ We literally giggled and laughed our way through some hilarious attempts at figuring out each others balance 👫💕 #whereitallbegan

Puppy press starting to feel comfortable 😱 It's hard to find the correct alignment each time that results in a happy float up 🌈 The combination of pushing over your wrists, engaging your shoulders, open hamstrings, correct position of your tucked leg, the base leg position the correct distance away from your body, plus engaged core (belly button to spine and hips plus ribs tucked in!) AND then to hold the handstand once you float 😂🙈 SO much to think about each time!! #PracticePracticePractice 🙆 PS How rockstar is the guy walking past? 😎 Just what happens when recording at a public beach 😇💙🌞

Back in the gym today with big motivation for this new year 🎉 Today started with some strength work on weighted squats and handstand presses 🙆 Then 3 rounds of: 10 slow strict triceps dips on the bars, 10 strict toes to bar, 10 flying crow mountain climbers, 10 high wall balls, 10 weighted v-sits. 💛 Taking my time today, focusing on my technique and correct muscle engagement 👌 #qualityoverquantity 💁

At the end of the day your feet should be dirty, hair messy and eyes sparkling 💖 Live each day big and bold! 😇🌞💛 #todaywasagoodday

Big thanks to @voguefitness.crossfityas for having @markymcd91 and I today 😍💙 Had an awesome sweat session!

Dropped into @GravityDXB for a really fun and sweaty Calisthenics class with @dubaifootprints 👯❤ It was one of those feel good, endorphin boosting kinda workouts by @progressive_calisthenics 💪 Going to sleep well tonight 😍💛 #fitnessfeelsgood 💃

Turn your face to the sun, and let the shadows fall behind you 🌻 #PositiveVibesOnly ✌💛

Talk about your blessings more than you talk about your problems 🌞💛 #positivevibesonly

Do it with passion, or not at all 💁💛 There is not much that is more attractive that when someone is passionate about something! Drive, ambition and love are the ultimate qualities 😍🌈😇 #QuotesToLiveBy

"Those who don't believe in magic will never find it." 💖 #DreamBIG

Got to practice it all, learn how to teach it all, and we even got in a sweaty workout at the end 💃 Feeling super inspired after today, and it's honestly fueled my love for fitness, health and quality of life even more 💪💜🌈 #crossfit #thesweatlife

Can't wait to guide many beautiful souls through a flexibility flow at 9:30am tomorrow at @TheBeachDubai 🙆💙 Thanks for hosting a great idea to start the new year @XYogaDubai and @MyDubai 🎉 You can still register online (http://xyogadubai.com/register.html) and tomorrow morning before the event!! 🌞 Looking forward to meeting so many of you and show you how to start your yoga and flexibility journey 🙏💕 #XYogaDubai

Home isn't four walls. Sometimes it's two blue eyes and a heart beat. ❤😘 #HomeIsWhereTheHeartIs

It's the best having my bestie here in Dubai 👯💕 Have been lucky to have her here for Christmas and she will be here for New Year 🎉🎉 We finally got to train together, and get bendy together 😁😁 She is a dancer, so it's been really fun teaching this bendy babe some yoga poses 😇 This was her first time trying seated compass and she nailed it! 🙆💙 #bendybesties

"It's ok to be angry. But never ok to be cruel." 💙 You are only human, your feelings aren't wrong or bad. When those feelings affect someone else, that's when it is wrong. Open your heart, be kind to all, be happy and supportive of all, but still be true to how you feel. 🙆 #YouAreOnlyHuman

SO true! 🙊 It's common to see people portraying a whole different life, practice and attitude online. And it's really sad.The one reason I've often thought about continuing my journey off line, there can be a lot of unnecessary negative energy online. HOWEVER there is a heck of a lot of positive real beautiful souls out there too. It's so important to look out for the real people vs the lives that don't even exist 🙆💖 ALSO it's time to start loving your own life, find the elements in your life to love and celebrate. Rather than the elements if someone else's life. Love your own life and self to create new elements that inspire and motivate YOU. 🌈 #thinkingoutloud 😇

If you want to press up into anything, it's best to get your muscles familiar with the movement by working lowering down into it first. This applies to pull ups, push ups, handstand press, headstand press.. just about anything! Aim to control the movement 🙆 feel and be truly in the moment, think about activating and squeezing everything you can! 💜💜💜 #HandstandToFlyingCrow 🐣

I have one life. I have one body. And I'm going to treat it right. 🙆💛 Eating right, drinking enough water, enjoying a balanced active life, educating yourself, getting good sleep and surrounding yourself with positive energy is all forms of self respect. Love yourself enough to look after yourself. 😇 #loveyourself

This is a post for anyone who feels a little lost right now. Maybe you don't know what your path in life is just yet. Maybe your hate your job. Maybe you're still in school and you have changed your major three times. Maybe you are confused about exactly what you want. Maybe you know exactly what you want but have no idea how to get it. 💛 You will figure it out. You are not dead yet. You are going to figure your sh*t out. This is not the end. I believe in you. 🙆🌞 #yougotthis

Floating chinstand pose inspired by the crazy skilled @cuchira 😇 One of my goals is to my able to transition from chin stand to handstand 💃 and being able to float up from chinstand and hold it, definitely makes the goal feel realistic 😍❤ #DreamBIG #StayInspired #FuelHappiness

Today has been incredible 😍 Started with a workout this morning with @markymcd91 👫❤ And then this afternoon in the desert doing some crazy things on crazy dune buggies with craaazzzyyy people!! Feeling very very blessed this Christmas Eve 🎄💛 Welcome to Christmas in the desert 🐪🎉 #mymancansquatme 💁💜

The body is living art 🙆 Your movement through time and space is art. A painter has brushes, YOU have your body. 💁💖 #LoveYourBody

Your smile is your logo, your personality is your business card, how you make others feel is your trademark. 💛 You are your own brand. Be true to you, be true to your passion, be kind to those around you, spread positive light, and smile bright! #beYOUtiful 🙆

Calisthenics workout with my @markymcd91 👫💖 Really enjoyed showing my man how I love to workout, and although he has some serious skills I still managed to leave him in a sweaty mess on the floor 😅😇 #CouplesThatTrainTogether 😍

What do you say when the feelings don't fit into words? 👫❤ This man is incredible 😍😘 @markymcd91 💕 #AcroYoga

Decided to work some more on my Ring Muscle Ups today! 🐒 #MeganTheMonkey 😁 They surprisingly felt much better than yesterday! I need to tape up my wrists as false grip likes to cut into my skin 🙊 This is a sequence of 1 muscle up, 1 muscle up transition and 4 ring dips 😇 This clip was of set 5 out of 5! And it has been sped up to fit in 🎥 💖 #Calisthenics #Gymnastics

Lots of handstand work and play at @whgym today! 💙💙💙 Worked a lot on presses, I have my good and bad days with landing these.. and would like to make it more consistent! And the best way to get that is practice practice practice. 👌💛 The end of this clip is sped up to fit it all in 😇🎥 #practiceandalliscoming

Your current situation is not your final destination. 💛 Don't forget that ✌ #keepgoing

😂😂 I feel like this a challenge I'm willing to take on! 😍🎄🎅 How is Christmas so soooon?! 😱 Where has this year gone?! It may be 3 sleeps till Christmas, but it's ONE sleep till my man @markymcd91 and my bestie @nikitamansfield plus her man @wazrob land in @MyDubai!! 😁👯❤ I'm so excited!! I can't even handle it 💃💃💃💃 Going to be an epic Christmas and New Year with the bestest people 🎉💛😘 #OneSleep!!

Christmas themed workout this morning at @whgym! 🎄🎄🎄 It was haarrdddd 😅 To see our workout, check out my snapchat story 👻💛 One of the things we did over and over were these fun handstand walks! It's something I've really been working on, and starting to see a lot of progress 😁😁 This was my 13th round 🙈 Shoulders were on fiiirrreeeeee 🔥🔥 #walkingonmyhands

I love my job!! 🎉 On today's agenda I got to come to @bizgroup and train their team! An hour long body weight session, getting up and moving at the end of a day in the office! 😍 What a great idea 💃💛 This company is truly the best place to work in the UAE (trust me, they have won an award for it!) always looking after their employees and they even have a slide in their office 😱😱😱 Seeing people motivated and inspired to move and keep active really makes my day! #ilovemyjob #bizgroup

My entry for the weekend #alowypcreative competition 💃 A fun funky forearmstand variation 😇🙆 Hosted by @aloyoga, @ashleygalvinyoga and @yogagoals 💙 Get creative and give it a go!!

I've been thinking a lot about new years resolutions recently, and what they mean to me 🙏 To be honest I personally set a lot of goals and targets frequently, but this an opportunity to reflect on my goals and see where I stand in achieving them 🙆 I feel it's important to not only dream a big dream, but to have targets along the way. Lining the road to that big dream with lots of mini celebrations 🎉😁 These targets along the way form a plan, a route, a map to that big scary dream. A plan with mini celebrations included makes the huge scary hairy dream seem a lot more approachable, a lot more manageable and definitely helps it become achievable! I'm excited for this year ahead 😍 I have some huge dreams, ones which not long ago I truly though of as impossible 😇 Now starting to seem realistic and within reach! 💛 Have you set goals, targets, resolutions or dreams for this year? 😊💙 Hello 2016!! 🙋 Let's make it a year of magic 😁🎉 #2016goals

I'm so excited about the session I'm guiding on the 1st of Jan with @XYogaDubai and @MyDubai 😁🙆💙 So excited that I actually can't sleep tonight 😂😅 Don't forget to register and join me at @TheBeachDubai at 9:30am 🌞🌞🌞 You can register at @TheBeachDubai on the 31st, and the morning of the 1st too!! Also on the website http://xyogadubai.com/register.html 💻😇 Going to a beautiful hour long flow session, featuring some of my absolute faaavvourite sequences and flows I use erryydaayy 🙌💖 #XYogaDubai

Today was the best feeling press I've done. It felt light! 🎉 I know that each new day I have a new body to work with, I know that each practice is a new practice. It may not feel this easy tomorrow, but I'm on the track to light presses happening more and more frequently (But there are still days I don't even get close to lifting up) and that's down to consistent practice. 🙆 Looking forward to where this progresses to, where this path leads 💛🎥 this clip has been sped up from 45s to 15s 😇 #PracticePracticePractice

Spent my morning with my some of my favourite clients 🙆 It's the best feeling to truly love what you do ❤ I adore making people feel good, confident and empowered to do anything 💪 My one client today spoke about after the short time training with me that it's changed the the way he sees sport, movement and exercise. That he is so much more body aware while doing all activities now, and much more in control of his body too. It's truly made my day, because that's one of favourite things to get across to my clients. Training with intention, moving with intention and focus 👌 Training blind is the fastest way to injury, and the slowest way to progress. You want results? Start to train with more focus, engagement and intention for each movement, each exercise. 💜 I'm a very very happy trainer this morning!! #ilovemyjob

#NotAYogaPost 😂 I'm excited and pretty nervous because this weekend I will be doing my @crossfit level 1 certification 🙊💛 I haven't been doing crossfit for too long, because its always seemed very intimidating! I've been into body weight training, yoga, calisthenics and gymnastics for a longer time; however lifting weights in anyway was always outside my comfort zone, and VERY foreign to me 😳 But not too long ago I met some amazing people who showed me the supportive, rewarding and safe side of crossfit 👯 I'm a lover of fitness. All fitness! And I'm very interested in learning as much as I can! #FitnessDork 🙆 These are a few clips of me working on my snatching technique during a massive day of training today 😇 I've only ever snatched a couple times, and it finally makes sense and finally feels ok 😁 Well now to spend my night studying for this weekend! #CrossFit #AlwaysLearning #AlwaysSmiling 😜

You get more out of training your weaknesses than training your strengths. 👌❤ Always hard to work on what I'm not good at, it's a vulnerable experience to step outside my comfort zone. But taking that step is the only way to expand my comfort zone. To get comfortable with the uncomfortable 🙆 #PracticePracticePractice

"So do it. Decide. Is this the life you want to live? Is this the person you want to love? Is this the best you can be? Can you be stronger? Kinder? More compassionate? Decide. Breathe in. Breathe out and decide." 💁💛 #DECIDE

It's simple: if you want something, work your ass off for it. #justlikethat 😇💖

Seated compass with an added quad and hip flexor stretch 🙆💛 Felt so good to take my time, honor my body and stretch after a long workout and an even longer weekend 💜 #loveyourbody #yogaeverydamnday

We got an opportunity to work on drills for our ring muscle ups today! 🐒 It's been a while since I've had a crack at more than 1, and manged to squeeze out 2 😁💃💜 I really want to practice these a little more, so that I can start putting them into workouts 😍🎉 SO many things to work on this year, and I'm really really excited 🙆❤ #DreamBIG #WorkHARD

Woke up super early and couldn't get back to sleep, so I decided to get some active recovery cardio done 😁😇 I did 14 rounds of: 30s handstand hold, 30s burpees, 30s wall balls, 30s fast skipping, 30s rest 😍❤ I got sweaty! #handstandlove

I went to the gym earlier today, and I had zero motivation 🙈 Yeah, it happens to all of us! I sat around, stretched a bit.. did some handstand drills.. I honestly wasn't in the mood. So I left, feeling SO defeated. This evening I was driving home from a really great coaching session, and it truly inspired me to get moving. I walked into the gym for the SECOND time today, and did a solid tough workout. And I'm really proud of myself 😇🙆 I even managed this pincha transition 😁 Pincha to wide funky pincha 💃 #IBelieveInSecondChances 💜

I've lived in the UAE for 20 years, and I still adore all the sights there are too see 😍💙 Today I took @nikitamansfield @markymcd91 and @wazrob to explore some of this beautiful country 🙆 We explored Yas Island, The Grand Mosque and spent our evening up Burj Khalifa! It's been a very wintery, rainy, touristy, busy and oh so beautiful day!! ❤ #MyHome

Handstand looovveee ❤😍 I learnt to hold a handstand just over a year ago at a Level 1 @world_calisthenics_org workshop 🙌 It's been in my daily training and practices ever since! If you'd like to learn the steps and progressions to hand balances, bar skills, human flags, and a large variety of body weight training... then come join me on the 29th and 30th of Jan! 💪 See my previous post for more Info 😇 #CalisthenicsMovement

Sometimes the most ordinary things can be made extraordinary ❤ simply by doing them with the right people. 👫 #MyLove

A little behind the scenes shot of my man @markymcd91 getting a photo for me 😁😁 @nikitamansfield got an epic shot of it 💛🐪 I mainly take all my photos on a self timer, but when a trusty photographer is around I take advantage 😇 Lucky to have such supportive people around to take photos of my yoga adventures 😍🙆 #yogaadventures 📷

I'm a lover, not a fighter 💛 But don't get me wrong, I'll fight for what I love! 💁 #passion

I got a private request for some of my favourite leg exercises! ❤ So I thought I'd share some foundation strength movements with everyone 💪 6 movements: 2 with a box/chair/bench, 2 different squat variations and 2 explosive movements 🙌 Check the comments below for some tips and important things to consider before you try this! Aim for 4 sets of 10 reps for the movements with the box; 3 sets of 20-30 reps for the squat variations and the explosive movements. 👌 Once you feel comfortable with these movements, you can try adding weight to these if you'd like to. Either with dumbells or kettle bells or medicine balls. PLEASE ensure you have a stable core and straight back always; especially if you are adding weight to these movements. 🙌 You don't have to do aaaallll of these in one day, just some exercise inspiration for you to think about 🍑 Enjoy the booty building fun 💃💃💃 #workoutvideo

I just want to go on more adventures 🐪💛 Be around good energy. Connect with people. Learn new things. Grow. ❤😍 #lifegoals

Breathe in. Breathe out. Repeat. 🙏 #JustLikeThat

"It's not happy people who are thankful. It's thankful people who are happy." 💖 Every time I lift up from crow into handstand, I'm grateful for my body and my practice 🙏 It literally surprises me every time 😳🙊 I'm a happy and thankful yogi 🙆 This clip is on double speed to fit in 🎥❤ #GratitudeIsTheBestAttitude

My taste buds blown out of the water here at @WakameDubai 😱😍 My family and I spent our evening here at @WakameDubai 👪 After my dad having two eye operations in the last week, it has been lovely to come and have an evening together 🙆 But seriously the food is next level amazingness!! Pure elegance and luxury on a plate, accompanied by the best service in Dubai 💛⭐ Five star customer service; where we have been made feel extremely special and yet at home at the same time. ❤ My Snapchat story is flooded with moments from this evening! 👻🍸👌 #WakameDubai #MyDubai

My second entry for #alowypcreative 🙆 Changed up my handstand by elevating one hand! This is a great variation to prep your balance for balancing on one hand 😍 Ensure your weight is stacked over your base hand, and shoulder is pushing you as tall as possible through that side. I also added the challenge of shifting my gaze 😇 Hosted by @aloyoga, @ashleygalvinyoga and @yogagoals 💛

👻😂💛 Snapchat fun! I'm in the process of going back to brunette todaaayy 💇 It's going to take a while 😅 Be sure to follow me on Snapchat to see more of my daily clown activities 💃❤ #imaclown #besilly 😇

I seriously can't sleep 🙈🙈 So I've rolled my yoga mat out at 2am and got my yogi vibes flowing 🙆❤ Midnight yoga is pretty amazing at relaxing my breathing, my body and therefore my mind 🙏 Hopefully now will be easier to get some much needed sleep!! 💙🌜 #YogaFixesEverything

A bendy morning was very much needed for my achy body today 🙆🌞 I really enjoy getting out in the sun and getting my yogi on 😇 #yogaeverydamnday #listentoyourbody

Standing flows 💃 It's taken me a while to build up to this kind of balance! And trust me it's not even this stable everyday 😅😇 it comes from consistent practice, focus, patience and a steady controlled breath. The consistent practice with all standing balances will help stabilise in the long run, takes time to build up the strength in that standing leg 👌💛 #PracticePracticePractice

I'm SO excited to be instructing TWO calisthenics workshops on the weekend of 29th - 30th of January 😱😍💃 It will be in Abu Dhabi at @mprovefitness and by @world_calisthenics_org ❤ Do you want to know more about calisthenics?
