#MondayMotivation ✨

Sweet friends,

In honor of the Boston Marathon today, we wanted to inspire you with this amazing scripture! God has chosen to give you this race of life! Complete the course and give the honor and Glory to Him. The path will not always be easy; often, it is long and treacherous. We may want to give in. But, you have a finish line to cross! Ask the Lord for the strength and perseverance to finish strong!

To help keep you accountable, we are offering 10% off of our 1-1 sessions! To schedule a 1-1, use code “TRANSFORM10” at checkout on our free app!

Additionally, we will be available for FREE 20 minute-check ins (to help you set new goals, assess body fat and measurements, or anything you specifically want help with) on Monday and Tuesday afternoons for the next two weeks! If you aren’t available or don’t live in town, these meetings can be done via phone call as well! Email us HERE to schedule a meeting!

Try these wall postures to reset and revive your body after a run or workout! These poses are restorative yoga postures that allow the mind and the body to relax, relieving stress and tension. Here are 3 key benefits of doing these postures:

  1. Relaxation: These poses in combination with controlled breathing lead to a slowing down within your body. This exhibits itself in a lowered heart rate which elicits a relaxation response and, in turn, helps lower anxiety, stress and insomnia.

  2. Stretches hamstrings and lower back: The angle of the body in these poses reduces the curve of the lumbar spine, which will elongate and stretch the back muscles. In poses like Legs Up the Wall, the closer your hips are to the wall, the more stretch you'll create in your hamstrings.

  3. Facilitates venous drainage and increases circulation: Elevating the legs promotes drainage from excess fluid build-up. In addition, gravity assists circulation by facilitating the return of blood back to the heart.
