Well-Being with Regina

Well-Being with Regina What you think, say and do has a powerful impact on who you are and what is possible in your life.

I live out my purpose as a yogi, Pilates Instructor, Meditation Teacher and a Well-Being Coach. I hold eight certifications with one message: everything is connected. The way we move, the way we rest, and the way we nourish ourselves, all contribute to how well we live. I coach you to connect to your core, to move from it, to hear and to understand it as your true essence. We work together to strengthen and mobilize your physical body, to increase your mental capacity, and to create spiritual resilience so you can live well and find balance, fulfillment and joy in your daily life.

Seems obvious from this dude born on December 9th, right? But what might not be obvious is how we aren’t breathing optimally. As a matter of fact, we are not only breathing shallowly, but often through our mouths, and not taking advantage of our noses and full lung capacity!
Did you know that mouth breathing promotes stuff like dry mouth, infections and bad breath? (I’m not talking about deliberate mouth exhales which can help calm nerves.)
Our noses were made to be breathed through. They filter, moisturize and regulate the air we breathe. Nasal breathing promotes endurance, builds the immune system and even helps with cognitive function!
There can be about 13% dead air volume in our lungs, so full, deep inhales and exhales can push that out as well. (The Hundred, anyone?)
Shallow breathing leads to chest, shoulder and neck tightness, as well as weak core and intercostal muscles (those in between the ribs).
So, in honor of that dude who brought Contrology and Pilates to this world, heed his words and return to Life.
“To breathe correctly, you must completely inhale and exhale....Lazy breathing converts the lungs, figuratively speaking, into a cemetery for the deposition of diseased, dying, and dead germs...therefore, above all, learn how to breathe correctly.”

Mediation helps us practice present moment awareness.
We have entered a busy season of Holidays, and perhaps renewed commitment to work, school, and/or personal projects. Things can get overwhelming when we consider all of our responsibilities and ambitions at one, but if we stay present with our duties, taking care or what’s important one step at a time, we find accomplishment with reduced stress, increased efficiently, less mistakes, more ease, and even more fulfillment.

Make no mistake. Pilates is about being strong as well as being mobile. When i told my teacher today that I needed to activate my back so I could maximize my lifting later, we started with the mat work and then headed over to do some work on the Cadillac. Now that I’m good and activated, not just in my back and my whole Center, I’ll be lifting more efficiently and more connected.

I’ve used and gifted products for two decades, but only started using her rose products a few years ago, and now it’s part of my rotation!
As you can see, I love the rose quartz Gua Sha, coconut oil, facial mist CBD and the roll on rose quartz aromatherapy.
Rose quartz has been known to help the heart and circulation.
Rose scents help cool inflammation and soothe anxiety. Swipe for more benefits of 🥀
