COME TRAIN WITH ME - FULL BODY WERKOUT:

Peace and Blissings Be-YOU-ti-fill Spirits 🫶🏽

I met up with my sis @getfitwithdonz this afternoon who put me thru a 💥full body werkout whilst introducing me to strength training 💪🏽

My foundation in fitness has always been 🥋 and calisthenics with 20 years experience, but hear my confession family... 😅

I've never really committed fully to strength training with weights until now! 👀

As I approach 4T1 next month alongside intense training learning different martial arts disciplines and a nu ciriculum as an instructor with @rastamonk.warriors whilst hosting @duadefence in schools, I recognise the importance of building muscle to increase longevity, especially as a melanated woman the wiser I get 😉

My spirit said it was time to incorporate these new ways of functional training into my regime.

Donz held space be-YOU-ti-fully, stayed helpful and patient when correcting me on proper technique and form moor than a few times, and ultimately put me to WERK 😉 I highly recommend her.

Tankhfully your sis is a fasssst learner. Ofc we had to bruk whine throughout when 'resting' 💃🏾 as the playlist was 🔥I still had NRG afterwards for some unassisted pullup play 😜

Look out for our next collaboration, where I'll be putting sis thru a 🥋 session 👁💫

I'm back on my MMA Training family in addition to teaching @duadefence in schools 💪🏽

Earlier this rising, I decided to pay@blackdiamondgymuk a visit and partake in their fighters class ran by head coach and founder @danielthewarriorsam 🥋

I was definitely put thru my paces 😤😅 having not trained at this level of intensity for years.

Tankh you for welcoming me innn.

SOUL SURGE WELLNESS X DUA-LITY:

Peace and Blessings Beauti-full Spirits 🫶🏾

What an absolute pleasure it was to have guided brother 👑son their 1st ever sound bath experience for @soulsurgewellnesscic back in late April 🙏🏽

It warmed my heART to see our men investing in their wellbeing, some being active in therapy and taking their healing seriously. Tankh you for showing up for cell-ph.

With it being #MentalHealthAwarenessWeek ,
this is your gentle reminder to carve some time out of your day for your own mental well-being and do something intentionally for 🫵🏽

This could be as simple as....

Going for a walk in NTR (nature)
Going for a swim
Mindfull arts (drawing, colouring, painting, or journalling)
Slowing down and being still with cell-ph
Treating your-cell-ph to a yoga, reiki, sound session.

On that note, do keep an eye out on this page for upcoming sound healing sessions guided by eye and a few other Be-YOU-ti-fill souls as well as moor
Soul Surge Wellness dates ✨️

Source gifted eye with multiple gifts to be of service to the wider collective, and I'm soul great-fill to be walking in my purpose ♥️

Be sure to fill your OWN cup up FIRST
So you can Give to others from the OVERFLOW.

CELL-PH DEFENCE DROP IN SESSIONS FOR BRENT:

Peace and Blessings Family 💪🏽

Yesterday, I had the pleasure to be a part of a CommUnity Day for residents of Brent put on by Jason Roberts Foundation where I facilitated Cell-ph Defence Drop in sessions.

My highlight.... teaching this Beauti-full Grandma Cell-Ph Defence techniques after she disclosed that she was attacked by a man attempting to steal her bag only a week ago.

The smile and pure joy she emitted afterwards and her words of affirmations will forever live with me.

A word to my siSTAR Kweens, CommUnity Aunties, Nieces, Daughters and Grandma's....

NEVER underestimate your ability to attack and get away safely. Once you have the tools and knowledge of where to strike and how (being on the right side of the law) you'll walk these streets with Godis-fidence.

Want to learn techniques that could ultimately save your life?

Get in touch, for I got youuuu 🥋💪🏽

TESTIMONIAL - THE BLACK LEADERSHIP PROJECT:

Peace and Blessings Dua Defence Family 💪🏾

@theblackleadershipproject co-founder Callum and one of his young kings 👑 break down their thoughts in recruiting me to lead 3 bootcamp sessions as part of their curriculum back in October this year.

To the entire team, the pleasure was mine.
The experience... divine, and I tankh you for trusting me to work with your precious young leaders of tomorrow 🫶🏾

For those reading this, my books are currently open to facilitate cell-ph defence workshops (usually 6 weeks) and tailored sessions catering specifically to your organisation, business, retreat, festival, or 1-2-1 needs.

It is a whole-listic experience, where each cell-ph defence session that activates our solar plexus will wind down with a series of...

Stretches and breathwork
Ground back into our bodies
Reciting poetic affirmations

Concluding with a mini sound bath to relax the mind, body, soul, and spirit to raise the vibrations our heART and Crown Chakras.

To work with me in this way, DM me or get in touch via email. To show support, please engage and / or share with those who align with the work that I do.

Look out for the next post where I'll share conditioning exercises to strengthen our core muscles, MMA style 😉💪🏾

Embrace Duality
Awaken Your Inner G
Until next time
