In my wellness toolbox, I hope I always continue to include meditation and movement. These are practices I try to do every day, but more than that, I hope I keep reaching for them in moments when I feel overwhelmed and need to ground myself. It always makes me feel better in the end. This evening I felt out of sorts. I had a meeting coming up in an hour, so I decided to get up from my desk, roll out my mat, and follow a yoga routine. Afterward, I spent some time stretching, u

Tired, overstimulated, and overwhelmed. That's how I'd describe how I felt when I got home tonight. I was back at the hospital today, and even though I tried to make myself comfortable and go for walks during my visit, it's still an unnerving situation trying to help care for someone, especially when they're in pain.

This week's practice is a short Qigong flow designed to reset and regulate your nervous system — perfect for when you need a midday pick-me-up or just want to shake off some tension.

No equipment, no mat, no changing clothes required. Led by Rebel

It’s 2026, and I’m officially embarking on a brand-new challenge to share on my blog. This time, instead of my blog-every-day-for-a-month ritual, I’m committing to a movement challenge : 31 days of yoga and/or intentional movement, every single day. Now, let’s manage expectations early. It will mostly be yoga, but I’m giving myself permission to switch things up when my body asks for something different. The goal is simple and doable: at least 15–20 minutes of yoga type mo
