No nonsense and always keeping it real. My girl Tif @cool_moms_sell_real_estate is incredible. Tif is always on the go as a RE guru, Pilates instructor and mom of three. She lost -8.25” in 5 days in JA and you can see she’s leaner and stronger overall. Tif is incredibly strong and well balanced so there wasn’t much for me to “fix” posturally.
Tif and I go way back. We’ve known each other since we were 26. She was my first instructor at @lithemethod, taught for me for 10 years and achieved Master Instructor status at Lithe. Tif attended my first retreat over a decade ago at Bolt House, JA and came back for no. 19 this year at Jake’s. Tif, it was so great catching up x spending time with you, you’ll forever and ever be my muse. I love you.
WHY ACTIVATION FEELS SO GOOD
I’ve been sitting on our Fall Activation results as I always do. I like to allow the women to process the experience, as so much of the lessons learned and progress happens after they return home. I measure them and take before/after pics so that they have a litmus to see how much change occurs in less than a week’s time but the experience is not about weight loss.
This past activation was my 19th and was quite possibly my absolute favorite (I also really needed it). So many people ask me how I achieve incredible results in just four-five days. There’s a magic food x fitness formula for sure, but one thing that fuels it all is re-connecting them with their body-centered feminine energy and intuition.
As I feature some of the women that went to Jamaica and also prep to release the dates for our 20th, I wanted to share a few Activation tips on how you can get out of your head, and into your body by reconnecting with your feminine energy.
Girl Time
Spending intentional time with other women fuels your heart recharges your feminine energy in the biggest way. Something amazing happens when you are exclusively with those of your gender. It’s easier to drop the masks and be yourself, as you are.
More Movement
Feminine energy is moving energy. The ocean is a perfect metaphor for feminine energy as it’s constantly in motion, always changing and shifting. If you have been stuck at a desk or have felt physically stagnant for a while, you need to get your body moving in non-linear (like CCS) ways.
Feminine energy will always be activated by movement. Unless you have a really fluid yoga practice (meaning, a practice that frees you of the traditional linear-based poses), or an SLB practice, or a really intuitive dance practice, it’s probably likely that you’re not incorporating much non-linear movement in your everyday life.
No Schedule
One of the toughest things for my Type A ladies is when they arrive and learn that I don’t have a schedule for them. Teaching them to just be idle has one of the biggest impacts on their results. It’s difficult to be aimless, right? Obviously some amount of structure is needed, of course, but there is probably more room for freedom in your schedule than you imagine.
What things can you *not* do at the same time every day? What things can you say “no” to? Sometimes, busyness is avoidance.
Connect to Nature
Nature is life itself; it’s us, where we naturally belong. Developing a sense of connection with the sand, the beach, the trees, with plants, birds dogs…all of these will connect you more to the pulse of the earth.
A really beautiful way to begin doing this at home is to just spend time gardening (@gardenuity I’m looking at you), and hang with your plants the same way you would hang out with a friend. Just sit with your plants and really look at them, even if for only a few minutes. See if you can feel them or if you can communicate with them.
F/W 2022 ACTIVATION
We’re going back to where it all began over a decade ago. Join us October 6-11 2022 in Treasure Beach, Jamaica.
Activation is an immersive, life-changing, results-focused wellness experience created by Lauren Boggi which leads to immediate and powerful change within every aspect of our lives. Women will share an immersive experience with Lauren—in nature and with other women—that transforms their body, mind, and the way they see themselves. Our work helps them become their most confident, courageous, fit and authentic selves.
Think transformative Activation movement, connection to the earth, tools and practices, soulful beach-side conversation with like-minded women, delicious fresh + local meals under the stars, culture, dancing, and plenty of reggae. Whether you want to go all in or take it easy, we’re here for it. No prior SLB experience is necessary. See you soon!

CAT'S ACTIVATION TRANSFORMATION
Meet Cat from LA! Cat lost 11” (11.6875” to be exact) and gained so much physical and mental strength in just 7 days. She’s a busy professional who fits in weekly Soulcycle, private Pilates sessions, Studio LB Quick Burn workouts & occasional private/digital sessions with me. For the past few years I’ve been trying to get her to attend an Activation b/c I KNEW it’s exactly what she needed, and I’m so glad she went to Sayulita. Cat’s adventurous, fun, and always up for anything. She has really great form and body awareness. She has tight hip flexors, traps and SCM. We worked to strengthen her weakened levator scapulae and you can see how much her posture has improved in just one week. She’s much more open through the chest and shoulders. Congrats, Cat! You look freaking phenomenal!
