🌟 Ride & Revive at Exalt Fitness Fowlerville 🌟

This morning was all about energy, movement, and balance! 🚴‍♂️🧘‍♀️

We kicked off with a feel good High Energy spin class led by the one and only Justin Smith aka Spinjunkie Popup, whose contagious energy kept everyone pushing through with smiles and determination. 🔥

Then, we eased into a slow flow with me, Carie Rose Zanin finding harmony between strength and effort (Sthira) & ease (Sukha). Honoring our bodies, connecting with our breath, and quieting our minds—it was truly the perfect way to wrap up an amazing morning.

A huge THANK YOU to Justin for bringing the fire and to everyone who came out to Ride & Revive with us! You all made this experience unforgettable. 🤍

Stay tuned for our Highlight video to be posted on Exalt Fitness Fowlerville page—we love capturing these moments with our incredible fitness family! 🫶

Hope to see you all back in our space real soon! Much Love & Light✨

💪 Two Years of Transformation: Laura's Journey with Exalt Fitness 💪

Watching someone transform not just physically, but mentally and emotionally too? That's why I do what I do.

When Laura first walked through our doors two years ago, she was hesitant and lacking confidence. Her hypermobility created unique challenges, and she had limited body awareness that made fitness feel intimidating.

Fast forward to today? She's absolutely crushing it!

"Carie is nice, but firm in her commitment to help me help myself. She notices things that no one else does, and I really appreciate her dedication." - Laura

What stands out most about Laura's journey isn't just her improved squats or push-ups (though those gains are impressive!) - it's her complete transformation in confidence. From being reserved and hesitant to now thriving in group classes and actively participating in gym challenges - her progress has been nothing short of inspiring.

Laura's story reminds me why personalized coaching matters. Every adjustment, every cue, every moment of encouragement builds toward lasting change that extends far beyond the gym walls.

In her words: "Everything in my day-to-day life is easier, and I am continually learning to be more positive." THIS is what fitness is truly about!

I'm incredibly proud of Laura and grateful for the friendship we've built along the way. Her journey shows what's possible with commitment, consistency, and the right guidance.

🌙 Yin Practice: Stars-Sleep Well 🌙

In our journey to cultivate a serene environment for a good night's sleep, we will tap into the parasympathetic nervous system—nature's way of helping us restore, replenish, and renew.

Through Yin yoga, we balance the nervous system, dissolve tension, and calm the mind. This practice ensures that we aren't carrying the stresses and activities of the day into our sleep, thereby improving sleep quality.

Let's explore Constructive Rest—a gentle practice that calms the nervous system and soothes the psoas muscle, which is often engaged during the "fight or flight" response. By releasing tension in the psoas, we manage stress more effectively, promoting restful sleep.

Remember, this practice is about letting go of any agenda. Allowing yourself to relax and be present, using your breath to guide you into inward stillness.

May your practice help you dissolve stress, slow down brain waves, and find tranquility

Love & Light...Namaste🤍

Shraddha 🤍

🧘‍♀️ **Saturday Morning MYO+YIN YOGA Class** 🧘‍♂️

Today’s class focused on the profound connection between our bones and fascia.

Bones, though not classified as fascia, are wrapped in it and play a crucial role in our structure and movement.

They tell a story of growth and change, carrying our life force, or Qi, as believed in Taoism.

Our practice emphasized honoring the uniqueness of our bodies and the shapes we create in each pose.

We explored the concept of bone breathing, tapping into the heart's rhythm and encouraging openness and vulnerability.

Through MYO techniques, we targeted key muscles like the subscapularis and psoas, promoting relaxation and release.

In our yin poses, we embraced the individuality of our bone structures, accepting and meeting our bodies where they are.

Our mantra, "I am Love, I am safe, I am free," resonated deeply as we tapped gently into our heart space.

To conclude, we meditated in Savasana, focusing on breath and release, and reflected on the hidden mysteries our bones reveal about us.

Remember, "the most valuable truths often lie in the most unlikely places".

Much peace , love & light...Namaste 🌟🙏

🌟 New Week, New Intentions: Embrace Shraddha 🌟

At the end of last week in class, we touched on Shraddha. As we continue to step into this new week, let's center our focus on the beautiful concept of Shraddha. In its essence, Shraddha represents faith, devotion, and a deep, unwavering belief in the journey we are on.

Shraddha is about trusting the process, even when the path seems uncertain. It's about dedicating ourselves wholeheartedly to our practices, knowing that every step forward, no matter how small, brings us closer to our goals. Whether it's in our fitness and nutrition, meditation, our self-care routines, or our interactions with others, let us infuse our actions with genuine devotion and purpose.

This week, let's cultivate Shraddha in our daily lives:

Morning Reflections: Begin each day with a moment of quiet reflection, setting an intention that aligns with your heart's true desires.

Mindful Practices: Engage in activities that bring you joy and peace, from yoga to journaling, and do them with full presence and dedication.

Gratitude and Grace: Acknowledge the progress you've made and express gratitude for the lessons learned along the way.

Remember, Shraddha isn't about perfection; it's about the sincere effort and love we put into our journey. Trust in yourself, trust in the process, and embrace the unfolding of your path with faith and devotion.

Wishing you a week filled with peace, purpose, and Shraddha. 🌿🙏✨

Good Morning! 🌅

Rise and shine, beautiful souls! 🌞

Starting my day off with a morning Yin class. Today is a brand-new day, a fresh canvas for you to paint your masterpiece. As you unroll your yoga mat this morning, take a moment to breathe in deeply and exhale all the worries and stress.

Affirmation of the Day: I am grounded, I am peaceful, I am centered.

Remember, yoga is not just about the poses. It's about finding stillness in the chaos, embracing your journey, and cultivating inner peace.

✨ Embrace the strength in each pose. ✨ Find gratitude in every breath. ✨ Celebrate the progress, no matter how small.

Take a deep breath in, and as you exhale, let go of anything that no longer serves you.

Let today's practice bring you clarity, joy, and a sense of calm.

"The journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step." - Lao Tzu

Namaste, 🤍
Carie Rose Zanin xo
