2025, a year of Completion. There is so much to celebrate that the minor setbacks hardly feel worth acknowledging. As always, life is filled with peaks and valleys. What mattered most for me this year was learning and integrating lessons from each experience. @Rootandrefine finally opened! I’m so humbled by the support of my friends, family, colleagues, and clients. My vision was received with open arms and open hearts. I’m deeply grateful for the kindness and enthusiasm that carried me through the harder moments, and I’m excited for the growth to come. I prioritized live music, theater, and comedy. I made new friends and reconnected with old ones. I’m grateful to be surrounded by so much love and support. May these relationships continue to strengthen and remain reciprocal. I maintained consistency. I stayed locked into my fitness routine, and my body feels stronger than ever. I completed a full year of daily meditation. I feel grounded, capable, and present. I learned to listen for subtlety rather than be distracted by intensity. My intuition is clearer, I trust my inner voice and the timing of my life. I invited in vulnerability. I allowed myself to give and receive. I stayed present, letting moments end so new ones could begin. I made space for grief while embracing joy, excitement, and fun. Everything meant to be completed in 2025 was. What’s meant for me doesn’t pass me, and what’s not meant for me doesn’t stay. 2026, I welcome this year of Beginning. May I receive abundance beyond imagination. May I soften, surrender, and stay grateful. May I remember who I am. May I stay consistent and prioritize my health and well-being. I am connected to my highest Self. I am open and receptive to divine guidance. I walk forward with clarity, certainty, ease, and grace I am ready. I am grateful. Let’s begin. ✨

10 10 10’s across the board 🪭

Last week I hit a milestone, 100 @solidcore classes! 3 and 1/2 years ago I found myself in the hospital for an emergency abdominal surgery. This experience led to 3 more abdominal surgeries, one of which was a full abdominal wall reconstruction. There were so many emotions, and so much fear… I felt betrayed by my body, and fearful that I’d never regain my strength or confidence. Here I stand today stronger than before. This strength is holistic and all encompassing. The mental fortitude I have built comes directly from challenging my body to move and get stronger. We breakdown, we reform. I’m grateful for this body and its resilience. I love this body for all it allows me to accomplish. I’m proud of myself for staying consistent and rising again after a long healing journey. May I continue to cultivate strength and flexibility, and continue to prove to myself that I am stronger than I think.

✨34✨ Thank you for all of the birthday wishes, my heart is so full! I am starting this year feeling supported, loved and inspired. To everywhere I’ve been, everyone who’s been and all that I have… Thank you. To everything and everyone that is yet to come… I look forward to embracing you when the time is right. To all that currently is… I am grateful to experience you here and now with a grounded presence and deep awareness. My intention is to invite in creativity, joy, collaboration, graceful learning, consistency, discipline, ease and peace. This is sure to be one for the memory books! 💖

Happy to lounge 🍸

Let’s start brightly! 📸 @leonidvartas 🧔🏻‍♂️ @andyglickman #freedom #photography #action

Reflecting on 2024… A year of challenges, a year of learning, a year of change, a year of pivoting, a year of growth, a year of strength and a year of surrender. I learned to TRUST divine timing and let go of any expectation around when things will happen. It was only when I learned to fully surrender to the process that I was able to release the pressure that I was putting on myself. Although @rootandrefine did not open in 2024 as planned, it’s expected to open in early 2025… that’s OKAY! Things can only happen when I’m ready for them, and there is no correct timeline that I need to adhere to. 2024 brought me closer to myself than any year prior. My relationship with myself became my top priority. I am physically stronger than I’ve been in years. My mental clarity is sharp and crystalline. Spirituality, I am in alignment with my highest self. Though this growth was derived out of some very painful choices, I recognize the beauty in grieving and letting go. Although challenges inevitably arise, I am fully trusting of my inner voice. I don’t intend to start 2025 hard and fast. Rather, I intend to continue on exactly the way I left 2024… Finding the feeling of freedom through structure. Prioritizing my health, my body, my rest and whatever I need to feel nourished above all else. To keep chipping away @rootandrefine so that I can finally bring my vision to life and share it with everybody. To forage expansive and meaningful connections with people by leaning into my own vulnerability. I can honestly say that I put in *the work* in this last year. My intention is to inspire others to do the same. Peel back your layers, take a look at your reflection and get in touch with what you need. It’s not selfish to put yourself first, it’s necessary. I am so grateful and fortunate for all of the pillars of love and support in my life. We rise by lifting others, and I’ve truly never felt more supported on my journey than I do now, so thank you. I feel light. I feel ready to embrace the new year with openness, curiosity and vulnerability. Cheers to the year ahead!🥂 ✨ . . . . . . . First 4 📸 by @leonidvartas

“33 encourages to set plans into action and let your personal strength be the guide; to trust yourself and put thought into your choices.” Today I turned 33 on the 3rd, and while it’s not quite a golden birthday, it feels like a magical one. Thank you to everyone for the birthday wishes, I’m so excited for what this year has in store! . . . . . . . . . . 📷 @leonidvartas 👕 @patrickchurchny 👖 @saltmurphy , @lr3_louisrubi
