SUPER SOUL CONVERSATIONS
Last night did not feel like the right time to post this. But if ever there was a day to be on Oprah’s amazing, inspirational podcast Super Soul Conversations, it would have been this morning.

IF IT DOESN’T CHALLENGE YOU IT DOESN’T CHANGE YOU
That slogan is by Fred DeVito who along with his wife Elizabeth Halfpapp are the creators of Core Fusion and the heads of the now global EXHALE spas. They are also the authors of the new book BARRE FITNESS. Fred yells that out in class when he wants to push you and for you to push yourself. But it is such a great saying it can be used to apply to most anything. Fred had to trademark it as others… Read More
