TITIKAXME | Margaux Brissiaud

An accomplished Pole dancer, an aspiring designer who has a master degree from the renowned Istituto Marangoni, in Milan, Italy; and to top it off, speaks 6 languages. Margaux is not your typical overachiever. She is a relentless dreamer and in this blog, she shares her story and journey to chase her dream to become a successful fashion designer. You have quite an interesting background. Can you tell us more? I was born in Brazil, but raised by my adoptive French family in London, UK. Thanks to my dad’s job, I grew up travelling the world including Singapore and New York. I later did my BA at McGill, (Montreal, Canada) and my Master Degree in Fashion Design at Istituto Marangoni (Milan, Italy). Aye... I know... I was born under a lucky star! When did you decide and how did you find your calling to become a fashion designer? I accidentally discovered a costume course when I was at McGill. This class was the discovery of my life! I adored the subject and the teacher, Catherine Bradley. I never felt so passionate about something. Post McGill, I wanted to become a costume designer, but my parents convinced me to go into Fashion instead. I am glad I went into Fashion Design as I discovered my calling for activewear. Featured: Adelaide Graphic Medium Impact Bra What does it take if someone is interested in getting into fashion design? It takes a lot of believing in you. There will always be people who are amazing at it, even better than you. You need to find your strengths and focus on that. What is your typical day like? I pole every morning and I focus on fashion research in the afternoon. I recently re-located from Canada to Switzerland. I am looking for a designer role in Europe or Brazil in the meantime. Featured: Equal Short Sleeve Top What is your favorite healthy recipe? I am a lazy cook, even though I will challenge myself from time to time. For a healthy recipe, I will go with eggs and avocado on top of a salad. Secret indulgence? I cannot live without chocolate! I love Lindt’s 70% Crunchy Cacao in Canada; or in Switzerland, Villars Pur Chocolat Suisse Black with almonds! Why did you start pole dancing? I always loved to dance. I heard pole is a great blend of gymnastics, contortion and dance style of your choice! I tried for the 1st time in 2012 and have been hooked since. I love pole so much that I am now an instructor to share the sports with others. Favorite music when working out? I love Spotify and am always discovering new beats. I love their playlists under the workout category. What is the biggest satisfaction you get from being a trainer? I definitely love seeing my students achieve things they thought not possible! I also love seeing their confidence and dance attitude grow day by day. Creating choreography is also one of my passions. I love doing that for my classes. How do you see yourself in 5 years? This is a tough question. I don’t know where I will be in 5 years and it will be hard to say where I will work. One thing for certain, I will remain in fashion design and hopefully in sportswear. I see myself still competing or teaching in pole dance since I love the sports so much. Who inspires you? Anastasia Sokolova! She is a self taught Ukrainian Pole dancer who founded her own pole dance school and pole dance brand in Ukraine after winning Ukraine Got Talent. She travels the world and shares her passion with other fellow pole lovers through workshops and classes. She manages to balance work and her passion so well. To me, she is such a great example of a successful female entrepreneur. What is the one quote that keeps you going? I know it’s cheesy, but “Try to reach for the moon and if you miss it you will end up among the stars.” If you have not become a designer, what would you be? An athlete.

TITIKAXME | Jessica Maiato

Jessica Maiato, an aspiring, talented 23 year old Choreographer, Dancer, and Creative Artist is our featured Titika Girl for this month. Hard work and sweat aside, it takes a lot of discipline to be where she is at now. In this blog, Jessica shares her journey in choreography and how she balances work and play into a versatile. active. life. Featured: Eve Medium Impact Bra When did you start to dance and what genres of dance do you do? I started dancing when I was about 4 years old. My lovely mother tricked me into attending a ballet class. The passion was planted in me ever since. I have trained in Ballet, Jazz, Hip Hop, Jazzfunk, Dancehall, and Contemporary. Currently, my two favorite styles to work with are Jazz-Funk and Contemporary. How did you find your calling to become a Choreographer? I was always creative from a very young age. At school, I was always the designated person to make up dance routines for all the class mates. It just fell right into my lap – and it was something I was extremely comfortable doing. As I grew up, I continued to further my knowledge so that I could have the ability to create even more. What does it take if someone is interested to get into this business? That’s a great question. You need to have a great amount of dedication even just for any dancers in general. Everything comes with practice. Just like any other sports, dance is not easy! To keep yourself physically ready and inspired, you have to train consistently. There will be multiple times you feel like giving up. But I have seen through my own eyes – If you persevere, there will always be progress and improvements. You also have to have “tough skin”. As an artist, you have to understand that everyone is always going to have an opinion of his or her own on your work- no matter how great it is. You have to be very careful not to let the opinion of others hinder your creative process. What is your favorite healthy recipe? I have to say I LOVE my smoothies! Always on the go, I rarely have time to make breakfast – but that doesn’t mean I skip it! Currently my go to is my peanut butter banana smoothie! Super easy to make: 1 banana, 1-tablespoon peanut butter and 3 cups of almond milk. A good friend of mine Jon Mango - who is an Online Fitness Coach suggested this to me, and it has been my morning routine ever since! Secret indulgence? CHOCOLATE. The sad part is, this isn’t even a secret…I always have a backup chocolate bar in case of emergencies! Favorite music when working out? A lot of people make fun of me for this…but I actually don’t work out to super high-energy music. I usually play Jill Scott, Lauryn Hill, Russ, H.E.R, or other similar artists. I just feel it puts my mind at ease, and helps to clear my thoughts so I can focus on my workout. Featured: Simone II Crop Legging What is the biggest satisfaction you get from being a dance instructor for younger children? I think the best part about teaching in general is being able to experience and see the progress that my students make. There is no better feeling then seeing a young dancer bursting with joy because they have finally achieved something they have been working on. Being the teacher responsible for sharing that knowledge with them is truly rewarding and heartwarming. What was the most rewarding occasion you recall from your career? As I am still very young, and only just beginning this journey – the most rewarding occasion would have to be choreographing a solo piece that was very near and dear to my heart. It was a very personal piece to me. Being comfortable enough to share something from my life, and seeing my student execute it on stage was very fulfilling. How do you see yourself in 5 years? In 5 years I definitely see myself expanding my Entertainment Company. Being able to provide dancers with consistent work, and creating on a daily basis. Who inspires you and how do you inspire your students? My biggest inspirations are my friends, and choreographers within the dance community. Currently, two dancers who inspire me are a brother-duo I have known for years. Flow XS- they teach, choreograph, and perform. If you get a chance, please check them out! They are young creative artists – as are most of my friends that I look to for constant inspiration. It is extremely important to surround yourself with people that inspire you in any way. What is the one quote that keeps you going? “Take failure gracefully, and success peacefully.” – Loginus Fernandes If you have not become a choreographer, what would you be? I can’t even imagine dance not being present in my life, to be honest. If I absolutely have to choose…maybe the film industry. I love being behind the scenes and experiencing the process it takes to create a finished product! You can check out Jessica's work here on her YouTube Channel!

TITIKAXME | SIMONA MARGINE

Simona Margine, founder of WellfitbySim, has been a fitness trainer for 7 years and has gained quite a following with her no-nonsense approach to fitness training and nutrition. Her devotion to every client is evident- “The best part about training with Simona is that you can count on her 100% to be there, not flake on you, and push your body to do things you didn't know it could do!” Simona has been a long time Titika ambassador. In this blog, she shares her journey and the inside out to become a fitness trainer. Tron Leggings When did you decide and how did you find your calling to become a personal trainer? Oddly enough, growing up I never played any sports. It wasn’t until high school that I discovered my passion for fitness and health. First year high school we had to enrol in a gym class and I remember dreading it – just the thought of playing sports with other kids made me nervous. I ended up taking gym class every year though and in grade 11 I took a liking to my gym teacher who basically took me under her wing and paved my way into the physical education world. She was so passionate and knowledgeable. She was so intriguing to me! What does it take if someone is interested to get into this business? HARD WORK! It takes dedication, motivation and empathy. Being a fitness trainer isn’t as easy as some might make it seem. For starters, trainers work long hours. To be a GOOD trainer you must be knowledgeable enough to feel confident in helping clients that may be injured or possess a physical ailment. You must be willing to provide moral and mental support to your clients every day. You have to empathize with them and show true compassion. Robin Short Sleeve Tee What is your typical day like? When you’re a trainer, every day is different and can change at any moment. My typical day starts at 5:30am. I have a quick bite then I’m off to my morning clients, usually 3-4 in a row depending on the given day. I might have some hours off in the late morning or early afternoon, during which I go to the gym myself. Then I come home, make lunch and then get ready for my evening clients usually 4/5pm-9pm. When the day is busy, I don’t get much time off. Like I said, LONG hours. What is your favourite healthy recipe? Right now I’m obsessed with this pumpkin chilli I’ve been making! It’s perfect for the colder weather and just such a great and easy way to get in all your nutrients. I have this great recipe and more listed on my blog www.wellfitbysim.com/blog Secret indulgence? Chocolate!! That said, I have done a pretty good job training myself to enjoy dark chocolate in the last few months. Dark chocolate has much less sugar and it actually has some antioxidants, which can help combat that enter our bodies Favourite music when working out? I listen to a variety of music but during workouts I love listening to either hip-hop or electronic music – depends on my mood that day and/or what I’m working on. For example, heavy weights usually = rap/hip hop Can you think of someone interesting/famous you have met during training? I’ve had the chance to meet some famous people because I used to be a fitness coach at the Ritz Carlton, mostly athletes. I have met hockey legend Sidney Crosby and basketball players such as Amar'e Stoudemire and Paul Millsap, as well as WBFF Diva Karina Marin. Drew Static Bra What is the biggest satisfaction you get from being a trainer? My biggest satisfaction as a trainer is definitely seeing my client’s progressions, no matter how big or small. I deal with a lot of injury rehab clients so it is the biggest thrill when they are pain free – it’s the best feeling for me, ironically! How do you see yourself in 5 years? In 5 years I would like to own my own fitness facility where I could foster an environment where people look forward to coming to see knowledgeable professionals whose sole desires are to make a difference in someone’s life through health and fitness. Who inspires you? I’m inspired each and every day. It’s wonderful! But I definitely have some fitness gurus I look up to like Stuart McGill who is the world’s leading back pain expert and Katy Hearn who is a celebrity Instagram trainer. She opened up her own amazing gym by the time she was 25 years old. What is the one quote that keeps you going? I love the quote: “There is no can not, there is a try or do not try” I always tell my clients that they cannot tell me whether or not they can do something until they give it a shot. Most of the time they find that they can actually do it! If you have not become a trainer, what would you be? I probably would have been doing something in the fashion industry. Fashion is my second passion. I used to design clothes when I was in high school and then in university. I worked for a fashion blog for a bit and even did some styling for music artists. It was fun! https://www.instagram.com/wellfitbysim/ Major Medium Impact Bra

TITIKAXME Bonita Chan

Quaint and scenic, the Town of Deep River was mentioned in the movie Mulholland Drive where Betty (played by Naomi Watts), the young actress struggling to cope in Hollywood says, "I just came here from Deep River, Ontario, and now I'm in this ... dream place. You can imagine how I feel." Located along the Ottawa River, the peaceful town is also where the founder of Traveling Mat Yoga, Bonita Chan, resides. A city turned valley girl, Bonita has spent the majority of her life in Hong Kong and Toronto until an opportunity came up to move to the beautiful town. We had the pleasure to speaking to Bonita who shares her journey to become a yoga instructor and more importantly, how she helps her students to shed layers of negativity to reconnect with one’s inner self. Why did you pick yoga amongst other sports? I turned to Yoga at a hectic juncture in my life. I was searching for something beyond my career and I knew that the commitment towards a Yoga Teacher Training Program would feed me the courage, clarity, and enlightenment that I was seeking. Shown in image: Violet Impact Bra, Lustre Training Legging When did you decide and how did you find your calling to become a yoga instructor? In the midst of our relocation to Deep River, I saw the move as an opportunity to do something novel and courageous. I had a desire to create something from the heart. My vision for Traveling Mat Yoga was clear; I wanted to help feed others exactly what Yoga feeds me. It is about delivering a guiding light to you no matter where you are. Being a graduate of psychology, how do you leverage your knowledge to enhance yoga teaching and experience? Psychology and Yoga go hand in hand. It is about being aware of your inner being. Yoga is a powerful tool and I leverage my practices as a method of empowerment. It is about teaching each one of my students that we all have the power to control how our body moves, what our mind thinks, and how our heart feels. As a graduate of psychology, I am always trying to find meaningful ways to support and facilitate transformation and personal growth in people. As such, I personally feel there is no method more rewarding than yoga. In my classes, you will find that I challenge my students physically and mentally. I encourage the connection and focused harmony of mind, body, and spirit, living our each present moment to its fullest as we discover ourselves on the mat. My students are encouraged to cultivate self-discovery and self-love. Collectively, we step on our mats, we turn inward, and honor our inner spirits. Discovering our own authentic movements by following the rhythm of our breath. Individually, we shed layers of expectations, ego, and judgments, as we each dive into the process of reuniting with our true selves - who have been waiting to emerge. Shown in image: Drew Static Light Impact Bra, Cole B Legging What is your biggest gain of starting Traveling Mat Yoga? One of the most rewarding things about my business is the ability to cultivate a sense of community and philanthropy. From hosting fundraisers to providing free community yoga programming; I am so fortunate to have the support of the community to stand by me in giving back. And this is only the beginning! I now have a group of incredible women that volunteer in furthering my not-for-profit projects. What has starting your own business taught you? Starting Traveling Mat Yoga has taught me that anything is possible if you believe in your mission and commit to it. I started this journey with no connections, experiences, or investments. I started my business in a new community; I did not know a single soul aside from my partner’s family members. I went from an empty Yoga room with no students to working with the municipality on a range of programming. Amazingly, Traveling Mat Yoga even connected me with a professional opportunity at a leading nuclear science and technology organization! I am proud of what Traveling Mat Yoga represents; the possibilities are endless if you faithfully commit to your craft! What does it take if someone is interested to get into this business? My three C's! Courage, compassion, and commitment. Courage: The courage to start! It all starts somewhere, community pools, churches, clubs, wherever. The courage to starts means being positive, being open, and being vulnerable. Start now, don't look back! Compassion, to me, is when we all meet as equals on our mats. The ability to befriend each other, no matter what, is a major component in guiding individuals, groups, and teams in their Yoga and Mindfulness practice. Commitment to your craft. Understand that consistency, competition, and attention to detail will help you succeed. There will be challenging experiences in your journey and you must stay committed throughout for results. What is your favorite healthy recipe? Butternut Squash Pasta! A vegan recipe that is so satisfying! Secret indulgence? Fried Chicken from Bar Fancy in Toronto!!!!!! How do you see yourself in 5 years? I see myself leveraging Traveling Mat Yoga as a philanthropic platform that gives back to the communities that it operates in. What is the one quote that keeps you going? “When in doubt, do the right thing”-by me If you have not become a trainer, what would you be? A Philanthropist! I strive to become a leader in my community and I am proud to say that I have begun my philanthropic journey with Traveling Mat Yoga. Instagram- @traveling.matFacebook- traveling Mat Yoga
