3 Easy Stretches to Release Tension
With many locations still closed or operating full remote due to Covid, some of us have the luxury of being able to still work from home. Now while there are many positives to having the ability to work from home, there is no denying that there are some downsides to being in the same space for the majority of your day. Movement is an important aspect in promoting positive mental health. Through movement, you can energetically lift your spirits and increase circulation throughout the body. This can even be done in as little as 20 min. Whether you are working from home, working with short breaks or small spaces you…

How to choose a Yoga Studio
Yoga has really started to pick up here in Charlotte NC and I am truly loving what I am seeing! Normally around New Years with resolutions and such studios begin to see an influx in those wanting to make changes in their health. What I am hearing more and more from my students is the desire to just feel better in their bodies overall + to improve mobility.

I have to feel deep down inside that I am not the only one out there like that right?

Bad. News.Bears.
Last week, in a matter of moments my regular Wednesday went from peaceful to stressful. For some reason I continue to check emails throughout the day versus just unplugging like a sane person. In said email it’s bad news. Very Bad News Bears (a saying from my childhood when something went terribly wrong). Ok so in a former life I was in a position in which I had to deliver bad news to employees. The rule when delivering bad news is “the sandwich “, basically sandwiching very bad news between good or decent news. Back to this email, it essentially blasted a bunch of shallow yet good news followed by…
