Balanced Body is the featured workout video collection for the month of March but not because I think there is really such a thing as balance.
Life is more like a juggling act and we can either be really clumsy at it or find our grace.
Now I will fully and openly admit I am feeling like a huge klutz lately. I’ve been juggling too many balls at once (Gosh, that sounds wildly inappropriate) and I’m working on re-prioritizing so I can feel sane again.
First step, getting back into my yoga practice.
Why?
It helps clear my mind.
Only problem is...with my JBird class schedule, working at Athleta & being a mom, sometimes finding the time to fit in a full hour is challenging. So I've been breaking it up into 15-20 minute routines before I go to bed.
I would do it in the morning if I was looking to jump start my day off energized & raring to go. But since my biggest struggle is quieting my thoughts when my head hits the pillow, nighttime is best.
Now I've only been playing with this for the past week, but I am happy to report it is doing the body good...and my mind as well.
And I already feel like I am on the road to a more balanced well-being.
So you may be thinking "so why don't you teach yoga?"
I actually do.
It's not a tradition approach, but yoga is fused into all of my workouts because I love the ridiculous amount of benefits the poses & the fluid motion of a vinyasa flow practice bring.
But just like my students come to class or log on to JBirdFitness.com for "me" time, this fitness mama needs her time too.
WE ALL DO.
Me time to not being responsible for anyone or anything else but yourself.
YOU & ONLY YOU.
With that said, I'm sharing a simple, quick flow you can do anytime during your day, if you are looking to :
Wake Up Your Body
Stimulate Your Creativity
Re-Focus
Work Out The Kinks
Energize Your Body
Clear Your Thoughts
Release & Let Go

(follow the picture sequence from left to right and then reverse to the start again; repeat 4-5 rounds keeping your inhales & exhales rhythmic & smooth)

Janine
