Happy New Year from our BL family to yours!! We are excited to move into this New Year by your side to help you realize your 2026 goals. I actually like to think of them as intentions instead of goals. For example, instead of saying I would like to lose 10 pounds by February 1st, I would encourage you to say, I’m going to take 4 classes next week. Then go to your app and pick out a variety of fitness & yoga classes at least every other day. To be successful at weight management you want to avoid taking more than one day off between workouts. So a great intention would be to sign up for 4-5 classes per week. You see your metabolism stays elevated for 48 hours after you work out so your energy levels stay high and you’re burning more calories during that time. Once you skip a couple of days you will start to notice a drop in your energy….yep fewer calories are being burnt but also we tend to reach for those sugary snacks to boost our energy levels back up.

In addition to trying to work out at least every other day, you want to mix it up. Your body needs diversity!! You will work different muscles in different ways and see better results. Ideally, you want to mix in some cardio to burn fat, some strength training to increase muscle mass, and some yoga to restore range of motion and relax. I am often heard saying to those who only want to do fitness; perhaps look at taking a yoga class like taking medicine. It’s no different than taking your multivitamin. Your body and brain will thank you!! And those of you who are frightened by the brighter room and mirrors in the fitness room…it’s time to cross over!! By working your muscles in different ways you will undoubtedly tone up those flabby spots and start to lose any unwanted pounds!!

So bottom line is instead of setting unrealistic goals and feeling defeated…set weekly or daily intentions that are conceivable. Practice a little behavior modification. Then every day you can go to bed knowing that you are taking action to move in a positive direction. Of course, this applies to the food choices you’re making too, but I’ll save that for another antics.

Let’s start today…go onto your app…sign up for at least 4-5 classes next week…schedule yourself so that you’re not taking more than one day off between workouts…mix it up…and choose ONE class that you’ve never tried before.

If you want your body to change, you’ve got to change things up. We have 69 classes per week, so lots of opportunities to shake it up!!!

Happy New Year to all!!

Whoa!! I know this picture is A LOT and believe it or not, all these items came out of my closet. Yikes. Well it’s been 29 years of accumulation but still…
I wear BL logo’d apparel pretty much EVERY day…(sure beats a business suit…right??!!) And truth is when I see one of our students or staff wearing our logo apparel, it just makes me SO HAPPY. I love looking around the fitness or yoga room seeing the variety of logos being sported from over the years. I sincerely appreciate the message it sends to our community that you are proud to be part of Team Body Language!! So…we created a challenge last year and thought it would fun to do again this year. It’s a Logo Challenge for the whole month of January to encourage all of us to wear our BL logo apparel more often. Super simple…just show up at BL wearing a BL logo’d hat, shirt, pants…and every day that you do so, you get to put your name in a drawing. On January 31st we will choose one name who will be the lucky winner of a $100 retail gift certificate!! Woo hoo!! So the more you show up to class wearing any of our BL logos in January, the more chances to win (nope you can’t wear a shirt, hat and pants and count it as 3…but good try…limited to one entry per day).
Oh, and we have 2 additional ways to make wearing our logo a little easier. 1), ALL of our BL logo apparel will be 20% off for the entire month of January so it’s a good time to grab something new, and 2) On Saturday January 17th we will be doing a clothes swap. Now, PLEASE NOTE, we’ve changed this part up so this year you can bring in ANY gently used clothes from your closet. So it could still be BL logo apparel but it could also be other workout clothes, a sundress or a retired business suit. No restrictions. But all clothes need to be dropped off by Friday January 16th so Claudia (our retail manager) has time to set out and organize for Saturday am clothes swap.
Maybe you can grab something re-purposed to wear during the challenge or maybe you’ll find your new favorite sweater!!
So there you go…THANK YOU in advance for sporting our BL Logos and showing your support of this amazing community!!
GO TEAM BL!!

Wow!! The last couple of weeks have been just so jam packed…with lots of good stuff but jam packed nonetheless!! Yoga Rocks…Staff Holiday party….and then the usual craziness we all experience this time of year. GO GO GO!! Have thoroughly enjoyed it all! BUT sometimes when I feel my brain jumping to the next adventure or struggling to let go of the one that just passed, I have to remind myself to stay present. It’s so easy to miss the gifts of the NOW by stewing over the past or ruminating about what’s next. So just a reminder to all of us this time of year to simply let TODAY BE TODAY!!
Chris and I would like to wish you all a Merry Christmas…Happy Holidays…and although we look forward to being part of your 2025 journey, we encourage all of YOU…all of US… to be immersed in and enjoy every day between now and the New Year!!
Cheers to TODAY!!
Merry Christmas!!
Andrea & Chris

Only a couple more days to purchase our Massage Gift Certificate promo.
Offer ends Wednesday December 24.
Stop by or call the studio to purchase.

We have an amazing wellness team at BL, and I can’t say enough good things about these incredible women who help us look and feel our best. With 5 massage therapists on staff (our most ever!), it’s easier than ever to book self-care nearly every day of the week.

From deep tissue and therapeutic massage to relaxation, cupping, reflexology, Reiki, and glowing facials, our team truly offers something for everyone—and every body.

The best way to get to know them? Experience it for yourself. Or better yet, give the gift of massage this season. Grab a gift certificate for someone you love and enjoy a little retail therapy for yourself too.

’Tis the season for self-care!
