"This is my season, and I am going to enjoy every minute of it."

Remember just 6 months ago when we kicked off the new year?
What did you want for yourself for this year? Whether you're feeling proud of how far you've already come this year or still know there's things you want to accomplish...this is the time to refresh and reset and make sure it happens as there's 6 month's to go in 2022!
I love the 2nd half of the year because while it can be hard to stick to goals you kicked off the year with in the dark & cold days of winter BUT it's lovely and bright out with longer days now and it's your time to shine!
To help motivate you, I'm bringing in a little yoga wisdom from the first limb of Yoga, Sattya!
Sattya is a reminder to speak the truth....starting with yourself. If all is not well right now, say so!
Here's an example of how to bring that truth out, that you might not even be aware of. Close your eyes and say the following to yourself:
"All may not be well right now, but right now will not last forever. I will figure it out. I will find my way and everything will be okay".
What came up for you?
If you want weight loss, affirm it. If you want less stress, affirm it. If you want more self love, affirm it.
Affirm it by saying it! Close your eyes and say the following to yourself:
"I want to be healthy. I want to feel good. I want to look good. So, I am going to become more of who I really want to be with each workout, healthy meal & positive decision".
Here's 2 of my favorite things that I do EVERY day to feel good!

"Yoga is the ultimate practice. It simultaneously stimulates our inner light and quiets our overactive minds. It is both energy & rest. Yin & Yang. Feel the burn and find the bliss." ~Unknown
Are you or someone you know new to Yoga? During the month of June I will have an intro to yoga series for beginners.
Yoga's been around for thousands of years and it's not going anywhere. It's a whole body workout that grows at your individual pace, builds muscle strength while simultaneously improving flexibility. Plus, it's perfect for fixing poor posture, protecting your bones from osteoporosis and lessening back pain. Whether you're looking to sweat, burn calories, promote relaxation, lower your cortisol levels (aka your stress hormone) this is the perfect time to start your Yoga & Pilates routine!
During your very first yoga class you may not be able to touch your toes, might feel a little sore after stretching muscles that haven't been moved or used that way in a long time. But overtime, you'll notice everyday aches and pains start to disappear --- perhaps your shoulders will be a little looser, or you're sitting up straighter, or you're more relaxed. Better yet after regular practice, you'll feel more in-tune with you body and perhaps even start to crave the poses that you know made you feel good (eg. stretched out your back, loosened your hamstrings, etc).
The practice of yoga incorporates mind, body, and spirit for total well-being- such as breath control, meditation, and physical poses. The practice of yoga has evolved throughout the years. Many individuals only utilize the practice for the physical benefits. However, a number of mental and spiritual benefits can also be obtained.
Studies have found that yoga contributes to not only increased strength and flexibility, but also increased mindfulness, emotion regulation, empathy, concentration, and sense of connectedness, among many other benefits.
Yoga is the perfect way to sweat, burn calories, promote relaxation and a more centered mind overall....all while lowering your cortisol levels (AKA your stress hormones) which can lead to mental health challenges. If you're feeling stressed or just haven't found a form of exercise you enjoy yet, yoga might be perfect for you.
Here's how to benefit now!

"What you think, you become. What you feel, you attract. What you imagine, you create." ~Buddha
Did you know we have about 60,000 thoughts a day?!!
Unfortunately, these thoughts are mostly negative. If we can improve our thoughts we can improve our relationship with ourselves....in turn you'll notice your relationships with others changing.
Try it out-- become aware of how you're speaking to yourself. Even the little comments (eg. that was stupid of me) matter.
So, what can you do to stop recycling the garbage in our heads? The 3 R's of course. It's a practice to bring us to the present moment instead scattered all over the place.
RECOGNIZE the thought. Perhaps uncover where it's coming from (past/present). Label it for what it is (eg. stupid - mental judgement).
RELEASE it. Let it go.
RETURN to the moment. For example if you're sitting --- just sit and be aware of sitting. If you're doing errands --- slow down and just be aware of the the walk/drive/cleaning.
Thoughts are only as powerful as you make them so if we can learn to take charge of our thoughts---practice mindfulness, we can make better choices as to what those thoughts are.
Mindfulness can offer a host of benefits to anyone and EVERYONE who practices. If you're looking for....
- greater mental wellness
- improved physical health like lowering blood pressure & reducing chronic pain
- relieving stress & symptoms of anxiety, depression, ADHD and more.
Add a consistent practice of yoga to your life to be more in-tune with your body, mind & emotions. When we're able to truly withdraw from our minds we can start focusing on the now....that's were everything is blissful. The 5,000 year old ancient practice of Yoga helps us heal from the inside out. It changed my life and I LOVE sharing it with others!!
1 in 4 Americans are living with anxiety, depression or some other mental health challenge. If we keep accepting this negative self talk as the norm, it will lead to toxic build-up and thus something bigger mentally, physically or both.
Here's 2 ways to take charge of your mental, physical & spiritual wellness by adding Yoga to your life:
- Schedule your Yoga at the Lake (on land or Paddleboard) classes on your own or with friends here.
- New to Yoga? Join the next Intro series here.
When you join me for Yoga this month, you'll have FREE access to my meditation challenge.
