Welcome!

Hello dear friends,

Hadis here :) Kristen & I decided to finally get our acts together and start our LUV YRSELF blog. Our goal is to motivate happiness by promoting good health through music, fitness, nutrition and spirituality (and anything else that inspires us!)

Hadis's mini bio: Presently I am working on becoming a Registered Dietitian and have been interning in an apothecary for the past 2 years. My main focus is to empower others and myself through knowledge of wellness & nutrition. Nutrition is a young science and there is so much going on. Everyday there seems to be a new hot topic in the press. We should do this, not that..take these, not those..We need to be proactive & educate ourselves on what makes us healthy so that we can take our health into our own hands. My belief is that nutrition is the medicine of the future. Through this blog I hope to keep you inspired, informed and healthy!

2500 years ago, Hippocrates, the "Father of Medicine", said to his students, "Let thy food be thy medicine and thy medicine be thy food".

Kristen's mini bio: Recently certified in Pilates instruction through the Kane School of Core Integration in NYC, I am committed to helping others achieve physical health through movement. As a result I am increasingly motivated to know more about the body. There is so much within the universe of our own anatomy that is easily taken for granted, especially in the way we exercise! Learning to move efficiently can prevent injuries, tone your body and make you feel good. Intelligent movement also creates a better flow of energy in the body that increases the consciousness of our selves. The world of medicine today has evolved into an entity governed largely by motivations other than the well being of people. Therefore we have to rely on our own ability to perceive our bodies. As I work with new clients everyday in the studio I hope to keep you updated on new ways to find this level of body awareness through Pilates, anatomy & any other form of inspiration that develops!
