PushPULL Season 9 Show💃
Keeping moving your body in different ways that you enjoy!
It has been an absolute pleasure dancing with this group for my second year🥰
Our show was well received, we had fun creating the pieces, and planning has started for next season!

This is a video my yoga guru, Christina Raskin did. I was fortunate enough to meet her through canfitpro a few years ago. Soul Thrive Yoga is where I completed my 200 hour yoga teacher training.

I can say so many amazing things about the teacher training through Soul Thrive! She and the other teacher trainers are knowledgeable and keep up to date on all things yoga. She speaks my language when it comes to anatomy as well!

Check out this short video to understand more about why we say "protect the knee" and how you can apply it to your yoga asana's.

This fitness tracker was shared with me by a client and I think it is a quick and fun way to track your activities for the year and keep you motivated!

Display it in a place in your home where you will see it and have your coloring pencils handy. Choose different colours that represent the activities or intensities that you plan to do. Include rest days with a color of its own as well!

Make sure to make time to unplug from your devices and practice doing absolutely nothing at some point during your day.

Watch the wind blow through the trees, wildlife scurrying around, clothes tumbling in the dryer. Acknowledge sights, smells, and sounds around you.
If that is too difficult at first, try a colouring book or sand garden.

This form of meditation activates your parasympathetic nervous system, aiding in relaxation, improving sleep issues, anxiety, patience ... Lending you a sense of peace and calm which is a benefit to your overall health and well being 🤗

Keynotes speakers Silken Laumann and Dr. Ivan Joseph were inspirational 🤩 and the presenter sessions were spot on!

Cheers to keeping up to date in the fitness industry😎
