Focus on lengthening your body through targeted stretches and exercises like those in Pilates and Barre that are going to help relieve any built up tension in your muscles and joints as well as improving your posture through alignment and boosting circulation!

When your body feels lengthened, you feel taller, lighter and relaxed ✨

Overthinking: the art of creating new problems out of ones that never existed in the first place 💭

And with every new problem you create, it sends your mind into over drive elevating your overthinking!

Food for thought today … wouldn’t it be amazing if we could see ourselves through the lens of someone else, the good and the bad with every thought that crosses our mind?

And be able to hear that person who tells us to stop the wondering. You can’t control what you can’t see yet 💭

A Barre Warm Up is essential before transitioning into your classic format and one of my favourites is to pair dynamic stretching, mobility and a little heart pulsing 🌡️
