Modern Vinyasa with Lauren Beth Jacobs

08/02/2026

This Tracy Anderson–style floor work is a BIG part of what we do in my Beyond the Barre classes inside my The Bodhi Body membership portal (link in bio to these on demand monthly fitness classes)…

The song playing is Disparate Youth, and it hit hard. That feeling of being a little out of place, still finding your footing. Since moving from DC to Dallas, I’ve felt that more than I expected — same woman, new rhythms, new environment, new comforts.

Anyway, I haven’t weighed myself in over 5 years, I’ve always gone by how I *feel*. And lately? Sluggish. Low energy. Stomach pain. Disconnected. So I finally checked… and turns out I’m up almost 20 lbs 😳

I’ll say this — I think I hid some of it well thanks to these workouts. But when I gain weight, my body lets me know. And right now, it’s talking.

So here we are. At 44, starting a very intentional weight-loss and feeling-better-in-my-body journey. No extremes. No shame. Just listening, recalibrating, and choosing movement and nutrition that support me through this season.

I’ll be documenting how I approach it — physically, mentally, hormonally — right here 🤍

Do the work.

Hold steady even when it is hard.

Lift with intention.

Small and steady reps build strength.

Stay present. Awareness is key.

Do the work on and off the mat.

It isn’t just about your fitness!

Simple steps you can take today:

👉 If you are a U.S. citizen:
🗳️ Contact your representatives and ask for support for transparency and accountability measures.

📚 Know your rights — learn and share resources about your rights during interactions with law enforcement, and connect with local legal aid or immigrant support organizations for guidance.

👉 If you don’t live in the USA:
📚 consider supporting a credible organization financially; amplify ACCURATE information; support people you know personally where possible — even a quick check-in!

Let’s show up and do the work— on the mat and in our communities — for strength, justice, and protection for all!

Not everything that is viral is vital…or even a good idea.

Not everything that works for “everyone else” is going to work for you!

And, sorry not sorry…just going to say it…not everyone question is a good question.

Tony Robbins says “successful” people ask “better” questions. And, I tend to agree.

So, instead of asking, “why isn’t this working for me when everyone else says it is amazing?” Or just “why me????” Maybe, try asking: How dos this feel in my body? What can I learn from this? How can I adjust my path to support my growth?

Progress comes from listening, adapting and choosing practices that meet you where YOU are.

For the record, outdoor yoga in freezing temps = not recommended. Moving smarter, asking better questions, and trusting YOUR body is!

does your house ever look like such a disaster that it is hard to motivate to focus on yourself? Today I found that ONE little clean corner and started with myself and this 30 minute barreless barre workout inspired by Equinox+. Try it out - 16 reps each exercise / each side to squeeze in a little you time before the storm!

After a month of sinus issues + travel, I was in the mood for a PUSH!

*30 min interval run
*100 plie pulses
*standing and seated stretches

Feeling good! Curious how my other friends who teach or practice yoga and fitness combine their fitness and yoga!?

Jumping on the trend.

The 2015-2016 transition was a similar one to my 2025-2026 one.

We moved from DC to Florida (and in 2025 from DC to Texas).

I was navigating mom life for the first time (no more kids here but navigating lots of changes for the two crazies I get to parent)

I spent a lot if time Upsidedown or in transition.

It also came with opportunity — a fun gig with , time to create and practice, travel! (2025-2026 marks a new, fun job, a renewed focus on my yoga practice and travel!)

Wouldn’t say these are necessarily the best 9, but a great 9 nonetheless! What can you bring back from 2016 to make your life fuller?
