Hi. I’m Tina

Tina Corrado is an avid writer, home cook, artist, yoga student, and health coach. She had her own health + cooking coaching business for 4 years and has even taught elementary school in NYC and English conversation classes in Mexico. A seasoned digital and tv graphics design producer and project manager for 16+ years, she’s worn a lot of hats and continues to work on large scale design and video projects as a contractor.

A Native Brooklynite - Tina switched boroughs 20 years ago and moved to Astoria, Queens. When she’s not in Queens, she’s living and creating in Oaxaca, MX and Myrtle Beach, SC.
Miracles changed her life and she is grateful for the grace she has been given to live flexibly, fully and with her whole heart. Anything can happen if we’re open to it. She’s found that the best possible plan to have is to let her heart pave the way.

 
 
 
Today marks 1 year of yoga practice. On this day in 2023, I walked into @shalayogaoax and never looked back. Life hasn’t been the same since. More than, and over asana, in the last year, it’s the expansion of my heart that I’m most
Arrived back to Queens after a memorable and special weekend, knowing the entire time that I’d be coming back to pack up my apartment for good. Some circumstances changed with my living arrangements and I decided it was time to let go. I’
I’ve been thinking a lot about time - what we do with it, how we spend it, the lives we build and the importance of being present in the lives of the people we love. We get one chance to love, show it and live through it. This weekend was a gif
Happy 50th Anniversary, mom and dad. What a weekend of complete surprises, love, warmth, family and friends. Your love is a testament to what is possible when two people are dedicated and committed to one another - thank you for showing me what is po

This guy turns 47 today. Happy Birthday to my brother Louie! He now has front teeth and I now have a neck. Pays to age. Love you, Lou-Lou. Kid photos are the best. #happybirthday
Spent a lot of time today thinking about change and how it’s our only guarantee. Inevitable, really. Over time our needs change, and age brings with it a certain kind of understanding - maybe even confidence, if we’re lucky. Our bodies ch
Back in the sun ☀️ While God knows I have 1,000,000 other unexpected things to do back in NY, making it to SC to celebrate mom and dads love is too important 🩵☀️🌻🩵 Everything in life always gets done, right? On our timeline or not. Here we go hear
A little note to say I’m a fan of Amazon fashion. Whether that is good or bad, I dunno 🤷🏽‍♀️ But I do think it’s also important to live within our means and what we can afford. A pretty new kimono for Oaxaca and a 100% cotton crop b

Queens. After almost 21 years, I do still love all of your quirks. From Mary in a half shell to pigeon feasts, window decorations where anything goes and - yes - your elegant and beautiful trees. You do have some grace going for you. Sunday streets f
I like to call this: another Saturday with PMS and joint pain. Still moved and wore pajamas most of the day. You’re welcome. #dowhatyoucan #yogaforpms #yogaforeveryone #pajamaparty #livingsingle #stretching

Yoga with this morning’s rising sun. So special and so needed 🩵☀️🙏🏼🩵 I’ve missed my family and the sunshine. No sky like a southern sky or the sky in Oaxaca #sunriseyoga #southcarolina #southernsun #transformationtuesday #yogaforevery
Moms coveted Pastiera di Grano. She truly outdid herself this year. #buonapasqua🐣 #pastieradigrano #momscooking #aboutlastnight
Holy Saturday 🩵 got very meaty and cheesy (and, um, salty). Note, we had a big beautiful salad on the side. Balancing the pork to cheese ratio with greens is of the utmost importance 🤣 #antipasto #antipastoplatter #happyeaster #buonapasqua🐣 #itali
 
 

If you do not tell the truth about yourself you cannot tell it about other people.

—Virginia Woolf

 

Free play and making art, using it as therapy, has become a practice in my life. As has journaling and exploring spirituality. From healing past emotional and psychological trauma to my own body image post weight loss; continuing to research strategies and methods to heal through creative living is something I am deeply interested in continuing to study not only in myself but others. When we build practices that support our lives, instead of going back to what we know as support, we can grow and remain curious. This, for me, has become the secret to living and no longer waiting. Well, and learning to forgive myself and others too.
