Here’s part 2 of the 7 Simple Ways To Eat Healthier Today 👆🏼

Transform your diet with these easy tips you can incorporate without ever setting foot in the grocery store or cracking open a cookbook. Try these easy steps to improving your diet right now! 🙌🏼

Weight loss doesn’t have to mean deprivation and crankiness! And to me, life without chocolate would be pure torture 😩 Thankfully, you can nourish your body with chocolate and lose weight at the same time 🙌🏼

If it sounds too good to be true, then it’s too good to be true. Regular chocolate can be full of sugar and pack a ton of calories. 👀

If you want to lose weight while eating chocolate, you must choose the right kind of chocolate and do so in moderation.

Choose organic, dark chocolate with a 70% or higher cocoa content, and be sure to check the ingredients for added sugar. I nibble on a piece of extra dark chocolate made by Lily's Sweets whenever I want a small indulgence 🍫💕

Does the idea of eating healthier make you panic? Is your first thought that you must buy special food and completely change your lifestyle? Does “eating better” p**s you off even a smidge? 🥴

I’m sharing part 1 of the 7 easy tips you can incorporate without ever setting foot in the grocery store or cracking open a cookbook. Eating better is something EVERYONE can do to improve their health. And it doesn’t have to be time-consuming, difficult, or stressful. Try these easy steps to improving your diet right now 🤌🏼

Stay tuned for part 2! 😊

Sometimes this client doesn’t want to workout. She will push back and tell me not to come. I go anyway. 100% of the time we have good conversation and an even better workout. 💪🏼 Does your trainer show up and make you laugh? If not, it’s time to find a new one. 🙋🏽‍♀️ 😉

Did you know that when you drink a can of soda and eat a candy bar, you have just suppressed your immune system for 6 hours? 😳😞

This is why we notice some children getting sick after this Easter Holiday and all the candy that is consumed. Their immune systems are being attacked!

Sugar creates destructive bacteria that hangs out in our intestines. Our immune system resides largely in our gut and the more bad bacteria that it has to get rid of, the harder it is for the immune system to fight disease.

Explain to them what is happening in their bodies when too much candy is consumed, and find balance during this Easter season.

❓Have you noticed the length of your attention span? What about your kids? Did you know it’s shorter than 8 seconds? 🐟 A goldfish can focus longer than we can in today’s world of tech and instant gratification. 👀 Stay tuned to our future posts as we go through strategies to help you (and your children) focus longer.

~A healthy way of life begins in childhood.~

Today, your kids have decidedly fewer limits when it comes to controlling a screen. They can watch many at once, and carry them wherever they go.

As amazing as the technology is, your child can benefit from less time with it. Outside of homework, school-aged kids should spend no more than an hour or two with a screen every day, according to the American Academy of Pediatrics.

With screens everywhere, it may seem even harder to cut down on a child’s time with them. But limits are worth it. Try these tips to pry them off those devices -- at least, for a little while.

Gain solutions to common pushbacks you receive from your children. 👀

Graze Trays are recommended by America's Pediatrician, Dr. William Sears. He suggests placing fruits and veggies on a tray or in a muffin tin while home during the day, or the evening, and allowing the family to graze from it. This has worked wonders for my family! What is your child’s favorite fruit and veggie? Which recipe will you try today? 🔽

Bringing yoga to your business is a great team building exercise and also provides some stress relief to your employees. Schedule yours today!

Are your kids hooked on junk food?

Many parents can relate to the frustration of having a child refuse to eat anything. It may start small, with them turning up their nose at the “wrong” kind of chicken or the “stinky” broccoli.

Kids are exploring boundaries. It’s important to give them choices so they have some ownership in their decisions. Stay tuned as we tackle more about these problems and solutions!

In this day and age we have gotten used to instant gratification which makes it tough to focus for long periods of time. Yoga helps with focus and over time can develop a longer attention span. Every school yoga class incoorporates focusing activities.

Which program is best for YOU?

Given the fast pace and hectic schedules most of us keep, a base level of anxiety, stress, and unhappiness is the new norm. You may not even realize it, but this tendency to get sucked into the past and the future can leave you perpetually worn out and feeling out of touch with yourself.

Practicing yoga develops inner awareness. It focuses your attention on your body's abilities at the present moment. It helps develop breath and strength of mind and body.

Children learn how to do this in all of our classes. Adults can learn it in the HEART Method beginning in January.

Balance is the second facet of the Playful Hearts School yoga program. We play fun balancing games and do balancing poses in every class. Do you prefer tree pose or warrior 3 pose?

🧘‍♀️ Meditation can be an intimidating word for many people. People have this vision of sitting still in a cross legged position with their hands resting in their knees. It kind of sounds dreadful when you think of it like that! But meditation can look very different to everyone and it doesn’t have to require sitting! 🚶‍♀️ Take a meditative walk connecting your breath to your movements. 🛀 Take a long bath without distractions. 🤫 Spend 5 minutes in a quiet space just to clear your head. It’s amazing what 5 minutes of quiet can do for your mental space!

Children learn how to do this is all of our classes. Adults can learn it in the HEART Method beginning in January.

What is your favorite way to clear your mind? 👇. Start a convo in the comments!

Breathing exercises heal us in so many ways. They have immense physical, emotional, and mental benefits to our children and us. Breathing exercises help children by relaxing the body, reducing stress, and helping to control emotions.

💞 I’ve had a dream for years to create yoga lesson plans. As a former teacher, creating curriculum and lesson plans was one of my favorite things to do (aside from teaching the kids of course)! This year is the year I’m finally making that dream a reality.

📓My first lesson for sale is in honor of the great Martin Luther King Jr. In this lesson children will read or listen to a book titled "Young Martin Luther King, Jr." Then they will go through a yoga sequence while listening to parts of his famous speech. Finally, they will do a dream board craft at the end. There is a bonus focus and balance game that can be used with a group of children. This lesson is best for kids ages 4-10. If you have children in your life that would enjoy learning a bit more about the great MLK while moving through a yoga sequence this is for you. This lesson is only $4.99.

💫 What are your dreams? What if you went out there and made them happen this year?

💙Young adults are the most stressed demographic in the U.S.
