a week with bernice
full time mat werk and meta instructor. life long turf'r.
Dive into what a week in the life of a TurF instructor looks like. Fueling your brain and your bod with TurF rituals that keep your energy high and cup full - let's dive into a week of Bernice's dailies.
Monday + META
Mondays are flexible for me, but I love starting my week by taking a meta class when I can. I love the energy of meta and how each instructor brings their own little twist to class. Other Mondays might look like my own yoga practice or a long walk.
After meta, I’m grabbing the blueberry glow smoothie because... she really is that girl.

IN THE BLUEBERRY GLOW
Blueberries, almond butter, goji berries, flax, cinnamon, almond milk and date
DAILY SIPS + BITES
TUESDAY + MAT WERK
DATE CARDAMOM LATTE
Tuesdays are for teaching Mat Werk! I love the combination of control, intention, and mindful movement that comes with mat werk. It’s so rewarding to help people feel stronger and more connected to their bodies.
After class, I’m grabbing a date cardamom latte for a caffeine kick before I head to work.
Wednesday + BODY WERK
TRILBY'S POWER BOWL
Wednesdays are for nourishing the body (aka taking Trilby’s body werk class or doing some fascia release at home).
It is such a nice class to have in my routine as a way to slow down, release tension, and balance out the higher-intensity classes I teach throughout the week.
I think it’s so important to make space for different kinds of movement and find ways to keep your routine feeling good and sustainable long-term.
What better way to end Trilby’s class than by ordering Trilby’s Power Bowl! Colourful and packed with all the nourishing ingredients (oh and that miso dressing is 10/10).
Thursday & meta + weights
PURE PROTEIN SMOOTHIE
Thursdays are a double dose of teaching with meta + weights. I love the energy of meta and the extra challenge of incorporating resistance and weight. Teaching different formats keeps things interesting, and I love sharing that energy with everyone in class.
After class, I’m reaching for the pure protein smoothie. Protein helps to support muscle repair and recovery, so it’s a delicious post-workout option!
Friday & meta + mat werk
THE SIDES
Fridays are another double-class day with meta + mat werk, which is such a fun way to wrap up my work week. I love switching between higher-energy movement and the more controlled aspects of mat werk.
I have been loving the sides at TurF lately - my go-to is 2 scrambled eggs, turkey sausage, and avocado.
Saturday's are for beach walks (rain or shine)
ICED COCONUT MATCHA
After a busy week of working and teaching, sometimes my favorite plan is having no plans. I love being active, but also recharging and having a slow day is just as important for keeping a routine sustainable. A walk along Kits beach and finishing the morning with an iced coconut matcha at TurF sounds pretty perfect to me!
Sunday'S we workout and hangout
Sundays are for teaching meta + mat werk!
One of my favorite parts of Sunday is hanging around the bistro after class.
It’s always such a fun, busy vibe, and I love getting to catch up with people and hang out with the TurF community after teaching. Movement is so much more than just the workout itself; it’s also about the people you meet and connections you make.
I’m getting the salmon lox toast because I’m a savoury girl. The perfect mix of carbs, fats, and protein to nourish me after class!
feeling hungry? us too.
