Our New Normal: Re-Opening at Elle

This week marks the return to some semblance of life before Covid hit in March of this year. For the past three months, the bustling hallways of yoga students, therapy clientele, and clinicians came to a dramatic halt. Everyone retreated home to makeshift offices and what was hopefully a secure Wifi connection. As therapists, we […]

Confronting Privilege

As a therapist, I value thoughtfulness and authenticity when I work within the intricacies of that which is the human experience. To take in the profound weight of racism in this country, which has infected us all with either incomprehensible injustice or undeserved contentment, requires the same, if not more, consideration. In doing so, I […]

Maintaining Mental & Physical Well-Being: Elle’s Response to COVID-19

I’m not going to lie, the past two weeks have been nothing short of rough. There’s a heaviness in the air—an eerie feeling in the streets—and pangs of uncertainty for the future and for the losses we are all enduring right now.  As a business owner and therapist, you think first and foremost for the […]

A Journey Toward Self Care

The pace of our modern lives can often feel uncompromising. Time reserved for yourself is either viewed as a luxury or as something stumbled upon by accident, only to be savored in small doses.

Find Meaning at Your Center

“Find your center.”  We hear these words both on and off our yoga mats. But what does it mean? And how can we apply it to our lives?  First, we can look to the mind. Our mind is just one of many tools we carry within ourselves, but it has a reputation of pushing us […]

Healthfully Selfish: A Yogi’s Perspective

I have taught yoga for 10 years now and have run into the same puzzling phenomenon time and time again. When I tell students during class, “Be selfish right now. Take up as much energetic room in this space as you can.” Their reaction is to look at one another, giggle a little bit, and […]

Health Isn’t All-Or-Nothing

By Mary Radovich Most of us know what we could be doing to be healthier, but feel stuck or don’t know where to start. The problem is, a lot of our ideas of what we “should” be doing are not based in the realities of our lives. Comparing goals to celebrities with nothing but time […]

How to Transcend Being Stuck in Your Career

The good news is that feeling stuck means you’re not in survival mode. When you’re focused only on surviving, you’re not very picky. The bad news is that when money is no longer a primary motivator, it’s not always obvious what the core issue is that is blocking your job satisfaction. The anxiety, frustration, and […]

Protecting Empathy

“You care too much.” “Just move on.” “Why do you put up with that?” If you’ve ever had to explain the severe ups and downs of your relationship to friends and family members, you’ve likely heard these comments before. Women are commonly conceived as nurturing caretakers. They often have to learn how to assert themselves […]
