We had the coolest day of whale watching! We saw a mommy and baby 🐳 So awesome. I suddenly felt very small and vulnerable. What if these school bus sized sea creatures decide to knock over this little boat?! They came in peace and were majestic and beautiful. #whalewatching #sayulitalife

I'm sticking to my reset guns! Eating well, very little drinking, daily walks and the 30-Day Pilatesology Challenge! I've been consistent with my Pilates practice for over 20 years but I haven't had a daily practice since I was an apprentice. It feels great.

My main challenge is finding the time and not letting the day get in the way - kid duties, work, daily chores of cooking and cleaning. If I really try, I can always find the time for self care.

What are your obstacles to fitting in a self care routine? #pilatesologychallenge #selfcare #dailypractice #tarrylife

Feet-ness is coming! What is Feet-ness, you ask? F

Feet-ness is coming! What is Feet-ness, you ask? Feet-ness is a foot- focused workout that starts at the bottom (your feet) and works its way up to the whole body.

I was introduced to this foot work about a year ago. I found I was able to make deeper connections in my body and felt more balanced and grounded in my feet. I finished my certification in November and am excited to share with you!

If you suffer from stiff, painful feet, this class is for you. It's a full body, 50 minute Pilates-based mat class with the focus on your feet.

At first, I will only be able to offer this class once a week via Zoom so if you're interested, please DM me to let know what day/time works best for you as well as your EMAIL ADDRESS. I will start next month!

I'm excited to share this work with you! #feetness #feetfirst #newclass

“History will have to record that the greatest t

“History will have to record that the greatest tragedy of this period of social transition was not the strident clamor of the bad people, but the appalling silence of the good people.” - Martin Luther King, Jr Just because we’re not breaking into the Capital and smashing things doesn’t mean we’re innocent. White privilege is still very much alive and well. I’m still so disturbed about what happened on the 6th. You know if any of those rioters were black they would be dead by gunfire. We must keep striving and fighting and speaking up for social justice and equality. I have hope for the future when I see young people, my nieces and nephews with their views of race and social justice and equality. When I look at my own kids and their friends, I have hope. Happy MLK Day.🙏🏻🙏🏻 #martinlutherkingjr #mlkday #socialjusticeeducation #antiracist

It’s Sunday. Ahhh. It’s not only okay to rest- we MUST rest to be at our best. Never feel guilty or lazy or all the bad stuff Americans feel for doing nothing. Doing nothing is very productive sometimes. Hope you’re having a lovely, restful Sunday 😊#tarrylife #doingnothing #restisbest #howdoyoutarry #presspause

Day 12 & 13 of #pilatesologychallenge done. The power went out yesterday so I’m still a couple days behind. Thank you Shari @theverticalworkshop Loved the Midline Mat. Your cues are always spot on😁🙏🏻💪🏻🙌🏻

Reset 2021, new post up on Tarrylife (link in bio)

Reset 2021, new post up on Tarrylife (link in bio)😊 Sometime this past summer, mid-pandemic, I was at the grocery store, and did a double take when I glanced in my cart. It was more full than not of brightly colored, plastic packages of processed food! From Sun Chips to Kellogg's cereal.

I think of myself as healthy and I feed my family healthy food but this shopping cart did not reflect that.

I had so many excuses. We’re in a global pandemic! The kids need some reward for all this Zoom school and isolation!

We came down to Mexico in November and got lulled into the vacation eating. You know, big brunches in the morning of eggs, bacon and pancakes. Mounds of guac with salty tortilla chips, margaritas on the rocks with lime and Pacificos by the pool. And so many tamales and fish tacos! So fun. Again, that’s fine for a week or so. Not three months on top of the seven months before!

If you know me at all, you’ll know I’m sternly, staunchly ANTI-DIET. I cringe at the word. Tell me I can’t have a brownie and I’ll eat five.

So, here’s what I’m doing:

1) Shopping mostly at the weekly Farmers Market and getting rid of processed food. This way you’re supporting your local farmers and eating in season. Win win.

2) Cutting down significantly on sugar. I do put sugar in my coffee. Just try’n stop me. I’m talking dessert. I’m trying to not have cookies after dinner.

3) Giving those delicious Margaritas with the sugary sour mix the boot for a while. I’m not doing a whole dry January but it’s been about 10 days booze-free and I feel pretty energetic and clear headed so I’ll see.

4) My exercise with Pilates has stayed consistent (Hello @Pilatesology 30 Day Challenge!) but I’m making more of an effort with my cardio with daily beach walks and jungle hikes. I’m feeling my glutes!

And that’s it! Nothing groundbreaking. I’ll check in to tell you how it’s going and if I’m staying on this positive, healthy cycle. I already feel better. As my Pilates mentor, Romana used to say, “Energy begets energy.” #energybegetsenergy #tarrylife #2021reset

The world is crazy right now. It’s hard to know

The world is crazy right now. It’s hard to know what to do and which way is up but two things to do to always feel better are 1) Move your body 2) hydrate My first live Zoom class of 2021 is tomorrow at 10am PST. Would love to see you there! 💪🏻🌟(sign up online, link in bio)
