For years, women’s wellness has focused on hormones, skin, metabolism, and midlife transitions, all important conversations. But one topic has been sitting quietly on the sidelines: brain health.

I wrote this article to open a bigger dialogue around where female longevity is heading next, what we should actually be paying attention to, and why smarter wellness matters more than louder wellness. If you’re thinking about longevity, I’d love for you to read it and share your perspective.

Women’s Brain Wellness, Longevity & the Future of Alzheimer’s Prevention I recently had the opportunity to attend Don’t Die SF, hosted by Arnaud Auger, Founder of 'tDieSF, an evening centered around longevity, brain performance, and the future of neurodegenerative disease prevention. One o...

Translation: he has 27 toys, but apparently none of them spark joy today. 🐶🙄

Honestly? Same energy as all of us thinking:
“I just need one more gadget / outfit / Amazon cart item… then I’ll feel better.”

Reality check:
We don’t need more stuff.
We need more strength, movement, energy, and community.

That’s why I created Lamorinda Strong
Less clutter. More classes. More wellness. More feeling actually good in your body.
If you’re tired of “new toy” fixes and ready for actual change, come move with us.

Confession: I have NEVER taken a barre class in my life. For whatever reason I thought it was an elite club of ex–prima ballerinas who can pirouette while balancing a latte. The barre has always felt… a little intimidating. (Cue dramatic music and me side-eyeing a handrail.)

Today I took Alicia’s class at barre925 and—shockingly—I survived. More than survived…it was incredible.

Class flew by, my legs shook in new dialects, and I had an actual moment of mental clarity mid-pulse like: “Wow, so THIS is why everyone’s obsessed.”

Alicia is a gem—clear cues, great energy, and the perfect amount of “I care about your form but also your soul.”

If you’ve been barre-curious but barre-nervous, please don’t wait.

Tried F45 Training FoxTrot Class today in Moraga thanks to the Lamorinda Strong Pass and… wow. Easily one of the hardest classes I’ve ever done (in the best way). My heart rate lived in the “are we sure about this?” zone.

I was actually excited to try the battle ropes because they looked so fun in videos—turns out they’re fun the way a tornado is “breezy.” After 30 seconds my arms filed an HR complaint.

I strategically parked my water bottle across the room so every sip became a bonus recovery lap. Elite-level loophole. Highly recommend.

Whitney was the coach and she was fantastic—clear demos, great form cues, and she paired us with random partners, which made it extra fun and kept me accountable. This Studio feels super inclusive, lots of high-fives, and easy modifications for every level.

By the end I was completely destroyed in that glorious “how do I climb stairs now?” kind of way. 10/10 sweat, 10/10 community. I’ll be back—with my water bottle… still across the room, and a formal peace treaty for the ropes.

Wondering what Lamorinda Strong Pass is?

So… what is Buti Yoga?
It’s this wild, high-energy combo of yoga, dance, and plyometrics that will have you sweating, shaking, and smiling all at once. And guess what — it’s offered right here at Yoga village in Lafayette!

I tried it out as part of my Lamorinda Strong Pass, and I’ll admit… I wasn’t totally sure what I was walking into. But I ended up loving it.

A few highlights:

Within the first 6 minutes I wished I had my Apple Watch on (my heart was flying)… and also my water bottle because wow. 🥵

About 25 minutes in, I was huffing, puffing, and thinking, “Shoot… I really need to get my pedicure done.” Priorities, right?

I’ll be honest — I probably managed about 50% of the moves (if we’re being generous).

And huge shoutout to owner ValerieMoore, who does an amazing job teaching this class. Her energy totally carries you through.

When the instructor finally said “Happy Baby Pose,” I knew we were wrapping up, I was sweaty, exhausted, and oddly thrilled.
Next time: I’ll definitely bring my water bottle… and get my nails done first.

Highly recommend giving it a try — just be ready to sweat, laugh, and maybe question your life choices around minute 20.
