Do you have to talk yourself into exercise?

I used to be that way, too. I was a bit in denial that exercise made me feel better.

No, really.

Somehow I convinced myself that I was lazy. I'm not sure where or when it started, but I actually referred to myself as lazy, and I felt like exercise was a chore.

I had created a story for myself that wasn't true.

I'm not lazy. Nor is exercise a chore for me.

I needed to find an exercise that I actually enjoyed. I needed a reason to get up and get moving.

When I tried Pilates, I felt like I had found something new and exciting. It was challenging, different every session, and FUN.

I no longer have to talk myself into exercising. Pilates, and now Yoga, is reason enough to get my butt on my mat and move.

Maybe you wouldn't have to talk yourself into moving, either. Are you ready to try something fun?

Drop a 🙌🏻 in the comments if you are, and let's chat about it!

Y'all. I'm Swimming in this picture, but I could be swimming to pick up my kids today.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
It's been raining since I don't remember when, and I'm about done with it.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Is it raining where you are today? If not, let me know - I love to live vicariously through others!

Yesterday, I ripped off a pretty big bandaid.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
In my regular weekly newsletter, I shared my first ever blog post and asked the lovely people on my list to share it.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
It was pretty scary, but I did it, and after all that fear...nothing to worry about. The few people who've read it have given me great feedback, and I truly value THEIR opinion. They're the ones that matter. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
So I guess I'm ripping another one off today and asking you to take a few minutes to read it. The link is below, and I'd love to hear what you think about it. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I share 5 differences between Pilates and Yoga and how the two have become vital to my well-being. More to come in the future, but in the meantime, I'm celebrating this Friday! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I did a thing, shared it, and let go of some fear. And it's not even noon yet!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Remember a few months ago, when I told you about the pinched nerve in my butt? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I’ve spent most of the time since injuring my poor t**h worrying that I’d make it worse or that I had done permanent damage.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
While the worry kept me doing my homework, it was draining. Luckily, when I saw my chiropractor last week, she gave me the go-ahead to get back to it! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Yes, I was elated last Thursday. But Monday night, I felt some pain creep back in. Tuesday, I spent the day doing the things I knew would bring relief.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
You know what?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
It worked. I slept through the night, pain-free. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Yesterday, I got the relief I needed. Not just pain relief. I let go of the worry.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I had pain, but I made it go away. When I realized my work (and Angela Scopel's work;)) paid off, and that I didn't need to worry anymore, I relaxed for the first time in months. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I no longer need to waste my energy on the “what if” something happens because I know that I have the tools to fix it. I'm too relaxed to care.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Do you have the tools you need to let go of fear or worry?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

It's Monday! I thought I'd share a little to get this week going on a good note.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
3 Random Facts about me:⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
1. I was a Williams before I married a Wingo. So I moved DOWN in the alphabet.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
2. I worked as a writer's assistant right after college. (I actually used my English degree!)⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
3. I spent 3 years in Montana, and I'd move back in a heartbeat. I'll always choose 🏔 over 🏖.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
What's one random fun fact about you? Let me know in the comments!

Spending time with my legs up the wall to try and reset this Monday afternoon.

Have you scheduled a break today? Have you given yourself a chance to reset?

This is your friendly reminder to take a break!

Let me know in the comments how you reset. I’m always looking for new ideas.☺️

Throwing it WAY back to 2012 this !⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
This pic is one of my absolute faves for so many reasons. We went to Ireland and played golf every other day, and it was one of the best trips of my life.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Fun fact: I wrote my research paper on how my golf game improved when I started Pilates. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
That feels like a lifetime ago! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
When we finally get back on the golf course, I know Pilates will help me again. In the meantime, it’s keeping me feeling great after Crazy 8’s marathons with the fam. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Not too shabby, that Pilates😜 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

How was your Monday?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I asked The Teacher's Tutelage FB Group to describe their Monday with a GIF, and it was a great way to start a Tuesday!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
So let's try an afternoon laugh with emojis - drop one (or as many as you need) in the comments and let me know how your Monday went.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I'll start: 😣🥱

Or drop a GIF...I just love them!

Halfway isn't such a horrible place to be, am I right?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Halfway through the week. I'm that much closer to meeting , , and some fellow Agency members in person!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Halfway off the Arc in this pic, and it's one of my favorite stretches OF ALL TIME. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I'm halfway done with vaccine shots (2nd one tomorrow!). That much closer to feeling some relief.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Halfway through potty training the 2nd kid. We hope more than half, but let's not get ahead of ourselves....⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Halfway through Schitt's Creek - yes, we're late to the game, but better late than never!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Are you feeling good about halfway today? Drop a 😉 in the comments if you are, or better yet, tell me what it is and let's celebrate!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

📸: Sara Turk

It's been almost a year since Sara Turk took this picture. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
A year ago, I started teaching virtually out of what was once our shared office, then a playroom for the kids, and now my studio/office.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I adapted, as we all did, and I'm still surprised by how much I've loved it. I've got a newfound appreciation for mat exercises, and I've been able to grow my "studio" while reducing costs. I've found more creativity in my sessions and classes, and it's given me so many new ideas. I've launched a website and started online programs with people I love working with.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Yes, the pandemic has had a negative impact on most of us in one way, shape, or form, but in this one area for me...it's been transformational. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I try to focus on that when the negatives come creeping in, and it's getting me through the 💩.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
What's one positive that's come out of all this for you? Let me know in the comments!

I've been quiet for a few days, my friends. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I think I just needed a break. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
As an introvert, I take my breaks and recharge alone. I retreat into a book, music, meditation, journaling, etc. I need time by myself to feel grounded and hit the reset button.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
How do you recharge? Do you need to be with people and feed off of their energy, or do you like to go it alone, like me?

My leg is asleep, and I don’t want to get up. How freaking cute is this dog?!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
She’s not mine, and she’s leaving tomorrow with my parents, but until then...⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I’ll write to you whilst smelling puppy!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The Teacher’s Tutelage closes tomorrow night! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Don’t be like this pup and sleep through it. Click the link below to check out all the deets and sign up.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

I’ll even send you some extra doggie pics if you want. Seriously.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I’m shameless.

Have you put off your time on the mat lately?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I have.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
And I'm paying for it.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Last week, and I had a FUN Preview Week for The Teacher's Tutelage (enrollment is open now for the Full Program!), and we poured everything into it. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I pushed my practice to the back of the line and got to work, but I'm feeling blah this week. I got out of that routine, and I've learned a valuable lesson for future events.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
KEEP TIME ON THE MAT AT THE TOP OF THE LIST.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I'm getting back to it with my regular Friday 8am class tomorrow. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Have you let your time go? How can I help you get back to it?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
P.S. Enrollment closes Saturday for The Teacher's Tutelage! Get back on your mat with us each week and learn how Pilates and Yoga can work together to make you feel your best! Click the link for details and sign up!
https://www.cherryblossomyoga.com/theteacherstutelage

Why not explore the body awareness and mind body connection that Pilates gives you AND the mental and emotional exploration of Yoga?

You need to spend a little time learning how to do them both, so that you can access that part of the practice.

For years, I didn't get that I needed to do both, in order to access the best of both. I'd been told it had to be one or the other, and that's simply not true.

It should be BOTH.

Join Sara Turk and me for the inaugural launch of The Teacher's Tutelage, where we take the best of both worlds and show you how they help each other and YOU.

Do you feel a little "stuck" right now?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
So many of us are itching to get back to "normal." We're in some weird holding pattern where the last year of quarantine could be over soon, but it's not moving quickly enough. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The problem with the holding pattern is that you can get truly stuck there and never move past it. You get caught up in the waiting and lose yourself in the process. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
You need to keep moving and keep doing the things that bring you joy and calm. You need to try the new exercise or keep doing the ones that make you feel good. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
You need to keep going, so that when the hold is lifted, you're in a healthy place and ready to move forward.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
You need to take care of yourself now - why are you putting yourself on hold?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
P.S. The Teacher's Tutelage is starting next month. It's the perfect opportunity to keep going while we wait. Click the link in bio to get on my mailing list; enrollment opens Saturday and you don't want to miss it!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

When was the last time you were really excited about something?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Saturday is here, and I'm getting nervous-excited about Preview Week for The Teacher's Tutelage that starts Monday. I'm downright giddy!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
and I have put together an incredible program, and I'm having a hard time not telling you ALL ABOUT IT. Details are coming soon, so stay tuned!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
In the meantime, let me know in the comments what YOU'RE excited about. I'd love to celebrate with you!

Ahhh...the Roll Down and the Forward Fold. I miss them.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Yesterday, I shared with my email list that I pinched a nerve last week. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
In my ass. No, seriously! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I pinched a nerve in my left gluteal area, so that means no intense stretches for my hamstring and glute.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
So Roll Downs and Forward Folds are off the table for the time being, cuz I'm a good patient, for the most part.😉 (my chiro, is the best!)⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
It's amazing to me that I would even get to a place where I miss this - for most of my life I couldn't bend over and touch my toes! Pilates and Yoga have changed me in more ways than one.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
For those out there struggling to embrace these movements, know that one day, you might miss them. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Funny how our exercise practices are a great metaphor for so many things in life....⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
What are you struggling to embrace today, that might be something you miss tomorrow?

How's your week going? Sometimes that can be tough to answer, if we're telling the truth.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Some things are going fan-freakin-tastic! Some, not so much. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Just remember that to focus all of your energy on the fan-freakin-tastic, so that more of it finds its way to you. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The Universe is gonna hear you say, "hell, yes! I'm so excited x, y, or z happened!" and get right on to sending you more of it. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
So stop and celebrate the little (or big) things that are going great for you today. You'll start to notice more of it showing up as time goes on.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
So, how's your week going? Let me know in the comments! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

In honor of 'sDay, I'm dropping this picture of my two girls here to remind you to kick back and bask in your badass-ness, ladies! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I'm celebrating you; what woman or women are you celebrating today?

Do you ever laugh at yourself when you practice?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Rocking makes me giggle because I feel so awkward doing it. Lifting yourself into such a great stretch and feel-good (at least for me) exercise is fun, but then trying to Rock back and forth always makes me laugh. It's makes me feel silly, and I can't stop laughing every time.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
In my 2nd Series class yesterday, I realized that I have the same experience with Side Bow.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I love Bow, but taking that posture onto your Side is awkward, and I found myself laughing my way through Side Bow yesterday. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
It's a great feeling to laugh when you're working so hard, and I love that whether I'm doing Yoga or Pilates, I know that there's fun in both. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
What exercise or posture makes you laugh? Let me know in the comments, and let's share some silliness this Saturday!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
P.S. The Teacher's Tutelage Preview Week is open for enrollment! and I will be pairing Pilates and Yoga to show you how they differ and benefit each other, as well as your own health and wellbeing. Click the link in bio to enroll - doors close Monday!

Do you feel pain in Cobra or Up Dog?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The first time I took a Yoga class, I nearly lost my mind. The class started just fine, but within the first 10 minutes, I heard the instructor cue, "Cobra or Up Dog," and I almost said something not nice. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
In my Pilates training, we save Back Extension for the end of the session when everything's nice and warm. I could have pointed that out to my lovely instructor (who is fabulous and knows her stuff, by the way), but I was raised better than that!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I continued, choosing Cobra until I felt I was warm and could move into more extension safely. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Years later, I still modify in my Yoga practice until I feel warm enough to move safely. My Pilates prep in various types of Back Extension has kept me from going too far, too fast in my Yoga practice.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Have you felt that pinch in your lower back in Cobra or Up Dog? Have you felt pain later that day or the next? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
It's possible some Pilates could do you a world of good! Sara Turk and I have created a program that pairs Yoga and Pilates and guides you to a safe practice. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

March is a big month in the Pilates world. Have you heard of March Matness?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Every day in March, Pilates studios, instructors, and enthusiasts around the world celebrate the Mat exercises in their respective Pilates repertoire. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I've never participated. Until COVID, I rarely taught Mat classes because I didn't really enjoy them. I never really felt good at it. I know I'm not supposed to care, but dammit, I don't like it when I'm not good at stuff!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
After almost 1 year (1 year this month!) spent virtually teaching, I feel a new connection to the Mat. I appreciate it's versatility, and I actually feel like I've made great progress in my own practice, just by teaching clients and moving with them. What a fantastic WIN to celebrate!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
What WIN are you celebrating as we head into March? Will you be celebrating March Matness? Let me know in the comments!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
