122. AVA MORENO: TRADING PERFECTIONISM FOR SELF-LOVE, GETTING BODY CONFIDENT, FACING YOUR FEARS WITH COURAGE.

This week’s guest is my girl Ava Moreno. Ava is a yoga and fitness instructor, co-host of the podcast “Better is Better” and a meditation instructor and sound healer.  She is truly a movement and wellness artist.   Ava Moreno entered the yoga and fitness community through her first love: dance.  She began her dance training as a toddler, training in all forms of dance.  At 16 years old Ava found herself struggling with a severe eating disorder at the start of her professional dance career.  It was then that Ava found Colleen Quinn, an incredible mentor and inspiration to her who supported her recovery through the form of a personal trainer and physical therapist.  Although Ava had first been introduced to yoga at age 11 through dance, it was not until she entered recovery from her eating disorder that she began practicing regularly, discovering the peace, focus, and stability--both physically and mentally--it brought her.   Throughout the recovery of Ava’s eating disorder and several dance injuries, she passionately studied nutrition and began to explore the world of yoga, fitness, under the holistic scope of wellness and has since become an outstanding contributor to it.  I love this talk with my girl so much. I admit I have a strong attraction to individuals who love to hang in the deep end of life and what I mean by that is those who are curious to keep learning and growing in life-- those who love to wonder with the primary intention being expansion and elevation.  Ava is one of those bright stars who brings light to all who come across her and can hang in the deep end of conversations that lead to thought-provoking and inspiring ideas and understandings of Life.  Expansion and Elevation are just some of the feel-good magic you can expect from this beautiful conversation with my beautiful girl Ava.  If you enjoy this talk, let us know your thoughts on it by screen grabbing this EP and sharing it on your IG stories with tags to Ava and myself.  Enjoy!
