FERTILITY
|
I’m excited to share a very special offering with love for those on the fertility journey. My dear friend and amazing doula, Lori Bregman has started a new Mama Portal with fantastic offerings for moms and moms-to-be. It was her beautiful idea to offer a yoga class for those on the fertility journey, and it was my joy to teach “Calling in Your Baby,” as well as a sweet practice for pregnant Moms with lower back tenderness on her new portal.

TIPS FOR SPRING CLEANING YOUR BODYMIND
|
Spring cleaning your body and mind involves focusing on four key areas: nutrition, exercise, mindfulness, and decluttering.
|
|
|
|
- Start by adjusting your diet to include more fresh fruits, vegetables, and whole grains while cutting back on processed foods and sugary snacks.
- Engage in regular outdoor activities like walking or cycling to take advantage of the warmer weather and incorporate strength training exercises for overall fitness.
- Practice mindfulness through daily meditation or deep breathing exercises like box breathing, and find time for activities that bring you joy and relaxation, such as reading or listening to music.
- Finally, declutter your living space by organizing and letting go of items you no longer need, creating a serene environment that promotes calmness and clarity for the season ahead.
