This November, we’re exploring peace, grace, courage, and gratitude—four anchors that help us stay grounded through the chaos and beauty of the holiday season. From finding peace with what you can’t control to showing yourself grace, choosing courageous moments, and practicing gratitude, this reflection offers gentle support for your mind, body, and nervous system.

Discover the power of longevity through movement, mindfulness, and community. In this reflective yet light-hearted post, Amanda Curd of Anchor to Life Pilates explores how taking time for yourself — whether at the upcoming OOV class and gathering or the Anchor to Embodiment Retreat — builds strength, balance, and perspective.

Plus, a quick, healthy dinner idea and why retreats and writing workshops are part of my mission to help women pause, breathe, and thrive.
