Massage therapy aids in pain relief by reducing muscle tension, increasing blood flow to tissues, and triggering the release of endorphins—the body's natural painkillers. It lowers stress hormones like cortisol, reduces inflammation, and improves joint mobility, offering a holistic approach to managing chronic or acute pain.

Massage Therapists with a few available spots this week:
Joseph Lynn Thomas and Brad O’Kelley LMT

Choosing a yoga mat is personal, but this is why I discourage thick, “exercise-style” mats for yoga. 🧘‍♀️
While comfort sounds ideal, overly cushioned mats actually work against you, especially in balance poses. When a mat is too thick, your hands and feet sink in, which dulls your sense of balance and alignment. That softness forces your stabilizing muscles to work overtime just to keep you upright, making poses feel shaky instead of steady.
Most yoga mats are around 5 mm thick, while exercise mats are often 10–15 mm. A thinner mat helps you root down, distribute weight evenly, and move with more control between poses.
If you’re just beginning your yoga journey, don’t let your mat make your practice harder than it needs to be. The goal isn’t more padding. It’s better connection. 🌱
