I LOVE a good warm up and movement prep. The more I prepare my body the better everything feels. And HONESTLY! if you are an 80’s or 90’s baby, YOU CANNOT AFFORD TO SKIP YOUR WARM UP. 

Started with some mobility, and then got into prep work. 
Here’s today’s movement prep for my hinge focused day. 

90/90 breathing - connecting to the deep core 
Bird dog thoracic rotations 
Calf raises 
Straight arm pulldowns 

How do you warm up?

Alignment Meditation — A New Way to Connect.

This isn’t your typical meditation class. Certified shamanic astrologer Nikki Dakar will guide you on an alignment journey to achieve resonance between your body, your inner truth, and your current life experiences.

Our very own Coach Bianca will open each class with intentional breathwork — real instruction on the mechanics of proper diaphragmatic breathing, along with pelvic floor connection and relaxation, to help you truly release tension, expand grounding in your body, and maximize your practice.

Nikki will then lead you through a guided meditation, share the planetary cycles and astrology teachings for the month ahead, facilitate an intimate discussion, and close class with a ceremony to cement your intentions in harmony with universal awareness.

Expect to leave informed, enlightened, and inspired.

🧘 What to bring: yoga mat or meditation chair, notepad and pen.

Some people may say that I’m lucky… that I get paid to workout… that I have good genetics LOL

Here’s MY TRUTH: 

The invisible truth is no one sees my 5am mornings, my constant work to regulate my nervous system. The night where I’m tired and I still need to meal prep. The nights where I feel lonely but I need to get things done. 

10 years of learning my body:
Multiple coaches 
Healing my binge eating
Healing my hormones 
Regulating my period 
Working on my sleep 
The rollercoaster of having PMOS
Healing emotional trauma 
Healed my pelvic floor issues 
Recovered from torn ACL’s 
Healed my extreme mentality of all or nothing in fitness 
Retired from competitive lifting 
Learned to lift for health and longevity 
Learned to strengthen to avoid constant SI JOINT PAIN AND LOW BACK injuries 
Learned to work w my hyper mobility 

Learning to love my physical body has been a long journey, specially when I’m bloated, when I’m injured, when nothing fits. It’s easy to see me now and think I always felt comfortable in my skin. The truth it has been an uphill battle my entire life. 

I blame society 
Learned behaviors 
The programing women have 
But I am empowered by my actions and desire to grow and glow ✨

I still struggle with all of this but I am kinder, I don’t earn rest, I fuel for performance and blood sugar regulation instead of starving myself to be skinny. 

I let my weird self come out 
I let the artist in me express herself 
I let the beast in me push hard during workouts 
I let the emotional being in me cry for days 
I let my loud self laugh until my abs hurt 
I let my passionate self guide the show. 

I will always will be a beautiful work in progress and I’m in love with my mission of guiding women do the same. ✨

I have room for a few new clients! Let me know if you’re ready to work together 🫂

Hiiii

I still workout! 

I have been going through a rough patch but I’m ready to conquer this challenging stage. As a PMOS girly I have something that I need to manage and well… I thought I was cured and decided to go off the rails, mix in some stress and you have the recipe for disaster!! 

My insulin resistance is at all time high, glucose levels high, nervous system shot, sleep not great. 

As I adjust my energy, sleep and strength all went out the window. and when I lose muscle and strength I get in my feels. But here we are!! 

Showing up when i feel weak, managing my blood sugar, taking walks, eating fiber and RESTING. What is rest? lol 

Changed my workout routines as well which was challenging mentally but I’m finally having fun.

🤰 Preparing for birth but not sure where to start? 

Join us for a hands-on workshop designed to help you feel confident, capable, and empowered for your big day 💪

In this 90-minute workshop, we’re covering:
🌬️ Breath work for effective, efficient pushing
🧘‍♀️ Optimal birthing positions for pushing + pelvic floor release
🦵 Mobility work to open the hips

We’ll walk through practical, technical guidance on how to push in a way that helps avoid stalled labor, minimize tearing, and work WITH your contractions (not against them).

Connecting to your pelvic floor + deep core is one of the most powerful things you can do to prepare for birth — and it can completely transform your experience ✨

🧘‍♀️ Bring your birthing/yoga ball if you have one
💕 Partners welcome!

📍 Holistic Strength, 5858 College Ave, Oakland, CA
🗓️ Sunday, July 26th @ 11:30am (90 minutes)

I’ll always be the first one to admit that getting back on track is super hard. And we will have many challenges that will feel like barriers. But there’s no better day to start than today. And then everyday is a new start  if need be. Don’t give up on starting! 

Consistency over perfection any day. 
This is me getting back into it. Even as a trainer I have hard days. 

Mixing it up with a full body workout where I’m prioritizing my trouble areas. Lately I’ve been having shoulder pain from so much tightness, stress, being sick and life so I adjusted a few things: 

-lowered my training volume
-switched from intense bodybuilding to full body workouts 
-incorporated weighted mobility 
-movement prep is always first 
-shorter workouts over no workout 

Lots of grace and love to my body. I’m in a really busy season and I need to focus on feeling good but I refuse to neglect myself. Some fine tuning is always needed. 🥰

I also haven’t posted in so long that I’ll leave this imperfect video instead. More and better coming!

Classes are happening and slowly growing. My heart is so full. There’s something so special about having a room full of women committed to being stronger, learning their bodies and doing it together. 

Lately I’ve been absent from the socials, I’ve been pondering what my next steps are now that I co-own a space. I’m truly leaning into what fires up my heart ❤️‍🔥 and it really happens when women come together. 

I am so greateful to be able to facilitate these classes. More community building to come 🥰

Check classes out on Sunday mornings and visit us at @holisticstrength_gym 🙏🏽 taken in Oakland, California by @holistic_bee
