LC: It’s really fun! I have a lot of people I consider friends
from all over the world who I interact with regularly who I’ve
never met in person. I get a lot of awesome recipes, great
work out ideas and yoga inspiration from social media.
IM: What does a regular day look like for you?
LC: I wake up, drink my coffee (this is very, very important
[laughs]), get my daughter going and off to school, go to
the gym and either lift or practice yoga, teach a class or two,
goof around with my daughter after school, eat dinner, do
IM: Who inspires you?
LC: My mom and dad. They’ve been married for over 40
years. That’s pretty damn inspiring. My teacher and mentor,
Anthony Chavez. He has helped me fall in love with yoga
and is just an amazing human being. My daughter – she
inspires me to be the best version of myself I can be with her
every day.
IM: What’s the best advice you’ve ever been given?
LC: “Practice and all is coming.” It works in the context of
yoga and for my life off of the yoga mat as well. To me it
means, do the right thing, put in the work, but then step back
and trust that the universe will take it from there.
IM: What’s one mistake you learned from the most
in life?
LC: A lot of the mistakes that I’ve made have been the result
of me being scared or unwilling to ask for help. Being self-
reliant is great, but learning to depend on others and trust in
something greater than myself has been a beautiful lesson.
TRAINING SNAPSHOT
A day-by-day breakdown:
Monday – Lift weights
Tuesday – Yoga
Wednesday – Lift weights
Thursday – Yoga
Friday – Lift weights
Saturday – Yoga
Sunday – Chill, maybe a
mellow yoga class if any-
thing. I alternate between
upper and lower body days
for the days I lift.
the bedtime routine and then work in bed emailing clients
and planning classes for the next day. I’m always in bed by
9pm. It’s awesome.
IM: What are three things your fans don’t know
about you?
LC: I can do this weird thing where I can turn my bellybutton
inside out. It’s creepy and you don’t want to see. I’ve never
seen Star Wars. I’m really sorry. Also I don’t like sushi. I think
raw fi sh is gross and everyone who claims to like it is lying
and just trying to impress people.
IM: What can’t you live without?
LC: La Croix sparkling water. I don’t drink “regular” fl at water
unless I’m working out.
IM: What’s your guilty pleasure?
LC: Diet Coke.
IM: What are your fi tness goals?
LC: To be healthy, to feel good, to be a good example to my
daughter as to how to take care of her body, to be active as
long into life as possible, to look good, to feel good about
myself and to have a nice booty.
IM: What’s your favorite bodypart on yourself?
LC: My abs. I work so hard to earn ‘em.
IM: What’s your favorite bodypart on guys?
LC: Shoulders. If those shoulders are covered in muscles and
tattoos it’s a huge bonus.
IM: How does your family life come into play with your
thriving career and following?
LC: Family is number one. Being a mom is number one. I
get a lot of really cool opportunities and offers to travel and
teach yoga, and while that may be part of my path one day,
today I’m all about being home for those bedtime stories
and soccer games.
