Wellness ✨🤍 Weds.



Movement and breathing are fundamentally linked: proper breathing improves movement by providing necessary oxygen, enhancing core stability, and regulating the nervous system, while physical activity strengthens the muscles used for breathing, leading to better lung capacity. Together, they promote relaxation, reduce stress, and increase energy and focus, making them essential for both physical and mental well-being.

Box breathing with arm movements: Inhale for a count of four, hold for four, exhale for four, and hold again for four, all while performing a simple movement like raising your arms or walking in place.

Diaphragmatic breathing with movement: Sit or stand comfortably. Place one hand on your belly and one on your chest. Inhale deeply through your nose, feeling your belly expand as the hand on your belly rises, and exhale slowly through your mouth, letting your belly fall.

Rib cage mobility with arm stretches: While sitting, place a hand on the side of your rib cage. Lift the arm on the same side and gently reach across your body, focusing on the movement and expansion in your rib cage as you breathe.

Mindful 🤍✨ Mondays


Cobra pose, or Bhujangasana, is a foundational backbend in yoga, often used as a beginning pose to prepare for deeper backbends. It is a symmetrical pose that involves extending the hips and adducting the shoulders, while engaging the legs and arms. This pose is a common element in Sun Salutations and can be used as an alternative to Upward-Facing Dog. The practice of cobra pose can be modified to accommodate different levels of flexibility and physical conditions

Friday ✨ Vibes 🤍



Being silly and laughing is a powerful tool for well-being, fostering creativity, strengthening relationships, and reducing stress. It gives you permission to let go of perfectionism and connect with your inner child. The ability to find humor in everyday life can be developed with practice and intention.
Why being silly and laughing is good for you
Boosts your mental health: Laughter and play activate the brain’s reward system, releasing “feel-good” chemicals like dopamine and serotonin. This can lead to a more positive mood, lower anxiety, and a reduction in stress hormones like cortisol.
Improves physical health: A good, hearty laugh increases oxygen intake and improves circulation. It can also relieve pain by triggering the release of the body’s natural painkillers, endorphins.
Enhances relationships: Shared laughter creates a sense of camaraderie, breaks the ice in social situations, and strengthens emotional bonds. It can also help diffuse conflict and navigate difficult situations by offering a new, less threatening perspective.
Sparks creativity: When you are in a playful mood, you are more likely to think creatively and find new solutions to problems. Silliness encourages a mindset of exploration and experimentation without fear of failure.

Connecting With Nature
🌴🎋🌻🍀

How to Practice Mindfulness in Nature
Nature Sit Spot: Find a quiet spot outdoors, settle in, and focus on the specific sights, sounds, smells, and sensations around you.
Mindful Walking: Walk at a slow, deliberate pace, bringing attention to the sensations of your feet, the air on your skin, and the details of your surroundings.
Sensory Awareness: Intentionally use your senses to explore your environment. Notice the colors of leaves, the sounds of birds, the feel of the breeze, and the smells of the earth.
Journaling: Bring a journal to your sit spot to record your observations, sketch what you see, or press flowers, deepening your engagement with nature.
Deepen Your Awareness: Pay attention to non-essential details, letting go of the need to just “navigate” and instead embracing the richness of the moment.
Return to Your Senses: Whenever your mind wanders to thoughts of the past or future, gently redirect your attention back to one of your senses to return to the present moment.
