🚨We are THANKFUL for all of you! And want to show you that with a 🆓 Thanksgiving Virtual Yoga session this Sunday at 5pm CST/ 6pm EST via Zoom 🧘🏻 🚨

Social Distancing has been hard on us all, especially during the Holidays. Let’s connect with one another with a restorative 40 min session suited for all levels and most importantly, all FAMILY members, furr-babies included. 🐶🐾

DM us with your email and we will send you the Zoom link 30 minutes before our session Sunday.

Now, go enjoy your Thanksgiving celebrations and we will stretch & restore together before the work week resumes.

Simple. Nutritious. Tasty.

Hey Folks! Justine here..

These are three of the food principles I typically follow.

Breakfast is my favorite meal of the day (although every meal tends to be my favorite meal of the day). I aim to get in healthy carbs especially if I’m working out after (whole wheat toast - bread won’t kill you), eggs and Turkey bacon for protein (I go with turkey for less saturated fat) avocado and one yolk for fats, and why not throw in some veggies!

This is a variation of one of my go-to savory breakfasts (although I do love my pancakes and waffles). FUELing your body can seem complex, but when you break it down and understand what you’re eating and why, it can be pretty easy and maintainable.

A little about me: I’ve spent the last four years heavily focused on my personal nutrition and eating habits, and often times way more than I should have been for my own mental health. The last six months, I worked on my Precision Nutrition Level 1 certification to further my education around food, and specifically sports nutrition. I did this to be able to help others with their own nutritional health, as well as educate myself further and ease stress by understanding why we actually do need carbs or fat.

For me, balance is very important. Balance in life, balance in fitness (I lift and also do yoga) and balance in food (we need energy to do the things we want to do in and outside the gym!)

I plan to continue to share easy meals and tips/tricks you can incorporate into your daily eating routine, because who doesn’t love food and feeling good about what you’re putting in your body?!

Is there anything you’re struggling with or meals you’re trying to “make healthier?” DM to chat!

To our loyal members, we thank you for all the support you have shown us since July. This is simply a pause. We will be back together soon.

Continue your practice. Work toward your posture goals. FOCUS your mind on your health and well-being. Take control of what you can, and let your body, mind and soul guide you through the rest.

Be strong, and most importantly, stay healthy. Please don’t hesitate to DM with any questions, advice or simply to chat.

November is the month to . And, we are thankful to spend the following days and times with you all, at Indoor Coach House or Outdoor Courtyard.

If you haven’t taken a class with us yet, Thursdays are restorative and focused on healing our bodies and minds. Sundays are doable for all levels, but will challenge you with additional balance work and flowing.

We hope to see you soon! Message us for details on trying out a class.

“Am I doing this right?!”

“What does she mean ‘sit back’... I think I’m sitting back?”

“If I lifted my toes I wouldn’t be standing....”

Demo of the Day: Chair Pose 🪑

Utkatasana, Chair Pose, strengthens the thighs and ankles, while toning the shoulders, butt, hips, and back. It stretches the Achilles tendons and shins, and is known to be therapeutic for flat feet. Utkatasana also stretches the shoulders and opens the chest.

But before we begin to get all of the great benefits lifted above, we need to make sure we are doing it correctly!

Cues you might hear me call out during this pose are explained in the image. Let’s all try to be more aware of our Chair Pose form in our next yoga session. 🧘🏾‍♀️ 🧘🏻

Pancakes 🥞: Volume 2

Lesson 📜: Don’t judge food by it’s name

Today, we have you a pancake option for your every day option. Pancakes can be your cheat meal for giving back to yourself, and they can also be your healthy fuel meal. Just like burgers can be healthy or un-healthy, everything goes back to the ingredients you use and how you make them.

Getting to the point of these delicious flapjacks: 1 serving oats, 2 egg whites, cocoa powder, coconut milk, berries topped with nut butter 🍒🥜
