Here’s the thing—movement isn’t just about exercise; it’s about feeling alive. MOVE FOR YOU: Move in ways that feel good, free, and true to you.

This isn’t about how it looks—it’s about how it feels. This is your playground, not your stage!

I'm not sure when it started, but apparently doing a cartwheel on the beach in Costa Rica has become an annual tradition. And I have every intention of keeping it going.

My cartwheel isn't particularly impressive, but it makes me happy. It makes me laugh and for about three seconds, I feel like I'm eight years old again.

One of the things I've been thinking about as I get older is how easily we start putting limits on ourselves. We decide we're too old for certain things, too cautious to try something new, or that some activities are better left to younger people.

I don't buy it.

I'm 58. My body is changing, and I know there are things I can't do quite the way I used to. But there are also things I can do now that I couldn't do 20 years ago. And plenty of things I haven't even tried yet!

I have no interest in pretending I'm younger than I am. I want to enjoy being the age I am, in the body I have, and keep finding out what it's capable of.

I want to dance, play, explore, make a fool of myself occasionally, and keep surprising myself.

𝗚𝗲𝘁𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗼𝗹𝗱𝗲𝗿 𝗶𝘀 𝗶𝗻𝗲𝘃𝗶𝘁𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲. 𝗚𝗲𝘁𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗯𝗼𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗶𝘀 𝗼𝗽𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹.

And as long as my body is willing, there will be another cartwheel on the beach.

Join us for a pre Halloween party on Friday, October 30th! Get ready for a high-energy, zero-judgment dance party, fueled entirely by the bad-bitch sorcery & heavy trap beats of Qveen Herby. Turn the mirrors into your personal stage, leave your imposter syndrome at the door, & let the bass reprogram your spirit. This is a sanctuary to sweat, strut, & manifest your inner deity alongside your fellow witches.

Come socialize starting with a 6:00 PM Happy Half-Hour, followed by 6:30 PM dance ritual & a post-dance party wrapping up by a very reasonable 8:30 PM. 😉 Bring a bottle or snack to share & enjoy the mystical vibes of our SoulShine Studio. Comfortable costumes celebrated. 10/10 recommend prepping the playlist early—come speak your magic into existence!

Does anyone else feel like we're taking in about 900% more information than our brains were designed to handle?

Texts, emails, podcasts, news, notifications, questions, and people who need answers RIGHT NOW. It's a lot. And somehow, we've gotten used to being available, informed, and responsive practically every waking minute.

I love learning new things. I'm curious about almost everything. But some days, I think the greatest luxury in the world is simply having an hour when nobody needs anything from me. Not kidding!

No phone. No decisions. No need to be productive, solve a problem, or learn something new.

Just a little time to be quiet, let my mind wander, and notice how I'm actually feeling.

I think we've become so good at filling every available minute that we've forgotten how wonderful it feels to leave some space.

We certainly shouldn't have to finish our to-do lists before we give ourselves permission to enjoy it. Here's to a little more quiet and a lot less noise.

JUST CHECKING… how are we feeling about using our muscles today? 😉

Brooke leads this SoulBody Method class through warm-up movements, breathing, strength work, and yoga poses. There’s effort involved, of course. Maybe a little wobbling. Maybe a moment when you realize holding a pose is harder than it looks.

And that’s okay. You can work hard, take a breather, adjust a movement, and get right back to it when you're ready. No need to keep up with the person next to you. They might be negotiating with their muscles, too.

Seriously, those muscles have opinions.

There is no such thing as a SoulShine body. Or a SoulShine age. You don't need to be flexible, coordinated, fit, spiritual, or even know your right foot from your left.

Thank goodness, because some days I don't either.

One of my favorite things about SoulShine is seeing so many different people moving together, each in their own way. Some are dancing full out, others are taking it easy. Someone is laughing, someone is resting, and there's usually at least one person facing the wrong direction. (Occasionally it's me.)

And somehow, it all works beautifully.

I love that we can be in the same room, sharing an experience, without having to do everything the same way.

Bring the body you have, the energy you have, and whatever mood you're in that day. There's room for all of it.

Every body is enough. That's not just something we say at SoulShine. It's what we believe.

Apparently we can put out 47 beautiful sound bowls and still manage to behave like a bunch of children.

Excellent.

I love sound baths. I love the quiet, the vibrations, and that wonderful moment when the whole room settles and you can practically feel everyone exhale.

I also love it when somebody gets the giggles and suddenly we're all trying desperately not to laugh.

I'm a big believer in the benefits of slowing down, getting quiet, and taking care of our nervous systems. But I draw the line at having to be serious about it.

Sometimes we need stillness. Sometimes we need a good belly laugh. Sometimes we need both in the same five minutes.

At SoulShine, we take feeling good seriously. Ourselves? Not so much.

There are so many places in life where we feel like we need to show up as our best selves. Happy, energetic, productive, interesting, and like we've got it all together.

SoulShine is NOT one of them.

You don't need to be flexible, coordinated, spiritual, or even in a particularly good mood. You can show up tired, distracted, sad, happy, or somewhere in between. You can come to class and not talk to anyone if that's what you need that day. Or you might find yourself laughing with someone you just met.

One of the things I love most about SoulShine is that we make room for all of it. We don't expect you to show up feeling a certain way, and we certainly don't expect you to be good at anything.

Just come as you are. Everybody is enough. And that includes you.

One of the questions I get asked most often about our retreats is, "Who else is going?"

And I get it! It's a little intimidating to sign up for a trip when you don't know who you'll be spending the week with. We have married people, single people, couples, friends, men, women, all ages. Some arrive knowing half the group and others don't know a single person.

And then a few days later, we get photos like this. I LOVE it!

We eat together, move, explore, swim, laugh, have wonderful conversations and occasionally get a little ridiculous.

One of my favorite things about leading retreats is watching friendships develop between people who might never have met otherwise. You don't need to bring a friend, be particularly outgoing, or worry about fitting in. Just come as you are.

There really isn't a SoulShine retreat "type." And I wouldn't have it any other way.

10/14/2026

When did we decide that fun had to wait until everything else was done?

I'm talking about fun for absolutely no reason. Not because it's good for our health, or we're learning something, or getting better at something. Just because it feels good.

Sarah apparently thinks hanging upside down is a perfectly good way to spend her time. I agree.

For me, it's dancing, making art, laughing with friends, or trying something new that I might be absolutely terrible at.

I think we could all use a little more fun in our lives. The kind that serves absolutely no purpose other than making us happy.

What's fun for you?

Check the Oura app/Apple Watch… etc. Get your steps. Stand up. Move more. Sleep better. Breathe. Apparently our bio trackers have a LOT of opinions about us now.

I like information; data can be useful. But every once in a while I want to ask a wildly old-fashioned question: what does your actual body say today?

Maybe your watch wants 3,000 more steps and your body wants Child’s Pose. Maybe you planned a hard workout and what you really need is a walk. Maybe you have hit every goal on the screen and you are still exhausted.

Technology can give us information. It does not get the final vote. Your body does.
