The Time is Now!
Keepin’ It Real with Lorel!

September is National Yoga Awareness Month!
I first started taking yoga classes as a student in 2000 when I was competing in Olympic length triathlons. I was drawn to the Bikram heated style of yoga to help my body gain better flexibility and move lactic acid through after long training sessions. I continued taking that heated style of yoga even when I switched sports to become a competitive bodybuilder for 5 years, in order to help keep that flexibility and lessen muscle adhesions when crafting a more muscular frame for that sport. During this time period I was focused on just the physical benefits of yoga as a cross-training feature to the sports I competed in.
In 2013 I decided I wanted to attend a Yoga Teacher Training program at Yoga Village to add yoga to the host of services I already was providing under the Revitalize Bodywork umbrella. My initial approach was focused on the physical benefits of the teaching and stacking the body in a solid, safe skeletal alignment. Within that 4 month teacher training program I began to understand, and experience the additional mental and emotional benefits that yoga provides as well. It is truly a complete body, mind, and spirit moving meditation and transformation! This deepened my understanding that in each yoga class we are all mentally, physically, emotionally, and spiritually shifting and processing through layers within ourselves. While in the very last resting pose of the class, Savasana, each of us are literally processing through what has ‘bubbled up to the surface’ for us during the class. When my students are in savasana, I come around to each student, help lengthen their neck with a massage-cranial sacral technique, and then send a big blast of Reiki Energy through their bodies to help them move through and release whatever layers of ‘stuff’ came up for them. Many of the students feel that energy shift and release occur, it’s quite powerful and gentle at the same time. I have observed the many positive changes that my students experience in their practice, no matter the length of time they’ve been at it. Even more personally, yoga has changed my life on every level, brought me deeper perspective in every aspect of my life, and brought my relationship with myself to a whole, healthy, balanced place. I am thankful for those teachings and the fact that there is always more that my own body, mind and spirit are capable of. I am equally thankful to be able to share those gifts and experiences with all of you as well, it is truly an honor.
It is my goal at Revitalize Bodywork Studio to make yoga and fitness, Accessible, Affordable, and All Body Types feel welcome.

Studio Expansion Update
SW Corner 7th St/Union Hills (Next to CVS)


I’m finding our new, larger studio construction process to be very much like my Transformational Coaching program I developed, put myself through, and share with others. Growth and change can be at times, Frustrating! We get eager to see the outward physical changes, straining excitedly to see what we want to see more of in the mirror. But often, the transformational process takes patience, fortitude, and understanding that the body, mind and spirit shift in layers and small steps. In our construction, I’m anxious to see more external change, to see the form take shape, be ready to paint it, and bring all the furniture and decorations in! But if I push the crew to finish all the tangible, visible parts of the building process without having the architect, engineer, high level plumber, contractor, and city inspectors bring the plumbing and drain lines up into the ceiling framework first and correctly, then if an issue were to occur it could potentially damage what we rushed to build. So much like looking in the mirror wondering when my abs are going to show more visibly, and when the scale will read a lighter number, I’m finding that I have to be patient with the behind the scenes work that needs to be tackled first to assure a better final outcome. Although I am disappointed to keep you all waiting, great things are coming our way and I can’t wait to share it with all of you. I deeply appreciate your excitement and patience during this process!
