Is it TRUE Beauty is Pain!?

 

It is always about the lines, and in Episode 6 of TRU Beauty Confessions Michelle and Zhana take on the saying, “no pain, no gain,’ at least when that comes to the world of beauty and the body. Is a healthy, fit body not within our reach, if for whatever reason we can no longer sweat it out with the latest hardcore fitness phenomenon!? We look at how ‘gentle’ does not just benefit your overall well being but gets the results you are looking for. Zhana explores the unrealistic view of her body through the eyes of the dance world, while also breaking down physical barriers as to what is possible. She shares how she frees herself from a limiting medical and societal narrative by listening to her body. Zhana walks us through her journey from illness, to discovery, to recovery, and now a whole-body vitality. We are excited to share Zhana’s beauty secrets and exercise tips that anyone can do from home to start their own healthy and healing fitness journey. Zhana is a stretching instructor and owner of Flexspace Studios, a fitness studio that teaches stretching as a workout. Zhana was enamoured with the dance world as a young child but was unable to participate do to a debilitating childhood illness that left her watching from the side lines. When she got out into the world as a young adult, she wanted to try everything and discovered her passion for movement in her late 20's. Nonetheless, by pushing her body from zero to full out, she found her body falling apart from a lack of balance between spending hours at her desk job and a passion for her pole fitness hobby. She was looking for foundational fitness that would help bridge the gaps in her strength and flexibility and allow her to live pain-free, as well as find freedom of movement in any activity that she chose to take on. She found this in stretching, and, 3 years later, has left her corporate job to teach and run her studio full-time. Zhana specializes in teaching adults with no prior movement background, and those who have always thought themselves to be inflexible. She takes special pride and joy in unlocking an individual's potential and proving to them that they can be stronger and more flexible than they ever thought they could be possible.

The Health Benefits that are a Must Know About Cinnamon!

  As a community we are unearthing what was once known and then sadly covered up and veiled from our minds. There is a reason that cinnamon was part of the holy anointing oil. In Exodus 30:22-33 the following is found: “Then the Lord said to Moses, `Take the following fine spices: 500 shekels [a] of liquid myrrh, half as much (that is, 250 shekels) of fragrant cinnamon, 250 shekels [b] of fragrant calamus, 500 shekels of cassia—all according to the sanctuary shekel—and a hin [c] of olive oil. Make these into a sacred anointing oil, a fragrant blend, the work of a perfumer.
