Take a deep breath in, the deepest one you’ve taken all day…ahhhh. Don’t you already feel better?! Let’s take a moment to breathe and love up on our bodies. Recovery and mindfulness is just as, if not more, important as your normal workouts. It gives our muscles the time to repair. It allows our minds to relax and reset.

Today, let’s find a little stillness and relaxation to help us navigate through this crazy thing called life. Thank you for following along. I am tremendously grateful for our community and the ability to connect virtually.
