Besides being an E-RYT 500-Hour RYT, YACEP certified yoga instructor, social media influencer, entrepreneur you are a mom of 2 kids. How do you go about balancing your personal & professional life?

My secret is simple: I absolutely love what I do! I connect with people all over the world and knowing I have an impact on their yoga journey keeps me motivated. I know there really aren’t days off, so instead, I carve out times throughout the day to reset. I prioritize my yoga practice and workouts, meditation, snuggle time with my 6-year-old, and real talks over dinner or sharing funny TikToks with my teen. These are daily practices that keep me balanced and cantered.

I love to move throughout the day! I often do conditioning for my body in the morning: such as walks outside, gym time, or my own Activate Your Core workouts. Later in the day, I practice yoga which can look like a full yoga class, a yoga practice focused on poses I’m still working toward or deep stretching.
5 poses to kick start the day?
- Supine twist
- child’s pose
- downward facing dog
- locust pose
- plank pose. Let’s go!

Your daily diet routine?
Cathy Madeo
Foods you encourage women to eat and including yourself. Because I’m moving all day, I tend to eat small portions throughout the day and then a nourishing meal in the evening. I think eating healthy is relative to your body and lifestyle. I also think that learning to eat well is a trial-and-error process. Eat more of the foods that make you feel and look good and less of the foods that make you feel bad.
