Wedding Wellness: Feel Your Best While Dress Shopping

September 13, 2016

photo via  Searching for the perfect wedding gown can be a fun, yet daunting experience. Before I started the process, I asked friends for tips.

{9/12} Weekly Class Schedule & Weekend Faves

September 11, 2016

Since I'm doing this whole full-time instructor thing, I'm going to start sharing my weekly schedule with you. When I taught part-time in NYC, I typically taught two classes a week, maybe a couple of more here and there.
