About Ciara Wimby
Hi, I'm Ciara!
I am a wellness advocate, author, adviser, entrepreneur, and founder of LIV You. I have over 10 years of experience healing myself naturally.
As a youth, while undiagnosed, I suffered high levels of anxiety which was attributed to my shyness and fearful attitude in participating in group activities and social functions. In my 20s, I was diagnosed with several types Inflammatory Bowel Diseases (Inflammatory Bowel Disorder, Ulcerative Colitis, Severe Ulcerative Colitis, and finally Severe Crohn's Disease), an autoimmune disorder that cause chronic inflammation in the digestive tract. For two years I was unable to work and received Social Security benefits as I was thought of never to be able to return to the workforce because of my disability.
Refusing to accept this life long sentence of isolation, I turned to homeopathic remedies to heal after rejecting the recommendation from doctors to have surgery and have my colon removed. Intuitively knowing I could heal myself, I began with changing my behaviors to return to healthy eating, incorporating a yoga practice, and positive thinking. I returned to work as an accountant, and began to slowly remove myself from all medications. And since 2004 I have not taken any medications and continue to manage any of my body's imbalances naturally.
In my path to healing, during her 30s over an eight year span I suffered the loss of my mom to a stroke, a brief 3-year marriage ending in divorce, and the loss of my dad to cancer. To help me cope through these tragedies, I turned to my yoga practice as the foundation of my support. Through my pain more passion was born and I developed the Live Project: Achieve Your Goals and Dreams through the Practice of Yoga, to help myself and others stay focused on living a meaningful and happy lives even through life's challenges. Later I renamed the Live Project to LIV Your Truth through Yoga, LIV's signature foundation course, because I realized I was teaching people to love, value, and inspire themselves as well as others. I knew I had a strong desire to continue on the path of healing and wanted to give more, this idea then led to the birth of LIV You Nonprofit. And I continue to expand my knowledge in healing practices.
I am a certified yoga instructor, Level 2 Reiki Practioner, and LIV You Women's Self-Care Coach.

Yoga in Bed is Dreamy
Written By Ciara Wimby
In the early morning hours around 3:00am, 3:11am to be exact, my alarm goes off. I have it set to the time my birth certificate says I arrived in this world. And since every night I drift off into the dream world, I figure it would be to daily arrive in this world as I originally did.
While I lay in bed reflecting on the dream space I just left and attempting to tie in the meaning of them, I also began asking myself why in the world am I up so early. Then as I focus more into this world’s reality, I remember. It’s yoga time!
Even being a passionate lover of yoga, I often don’t have the desire to hop out of my warm cozy bed to begin an early A.M. practice. So, what is a yogini to do? Bed yoga of course!
All snuggled under my cover, I do a simple twist to one side. I don’t count or time it. I am just there until my body feels ready to move on to the other side. And when it’s ready, I turn to the other side and lay there once again until my body is ready to move into another pose.
While I’m in one pose, I generally ask my body, “What pose would you like to go into next?” My body will reply and then I move into that pose. And I generally comply.
After about an hour of this, my body is ready to hop out the bed and do some other yoga poses. I find this to be the best way for me to connect with the needs and wants of my body. The body let’s me know what areas I need to focus on while being able to stay comfortable in bed until it is really ready to get up and greet the day. This is why yoga in bed is the yummiest to me!
