9.15 Do Yoga or Pilates · Just Enough Joy

Sarahn Sankofa: Hello beautiful people. Today is September the 15th, and today's calendar challenge is do yoga or Pilates. That's right. I love yoga. I've been practicing yoga for about 12 years now, and I became a certified yoga instructor about three years ago. And when I tell you, yoga has brought so much joy to my life. It is a practice that is really about breath, that is really about being and truly about becoming. I'm not as equipped or experienced with Pilates, but I always feel really strong and surprised at what's challenging when I take the time to do Pilates. Yoga and Pilates are very accessible wellness methods that we have that allow us to focus on our breath, make small movements, stretch in ways that we may not typically, and to massage our muscles, our joints, and our bones through movement. That movement is particularly important if we want to stay as healthy as possible as we age, right? Flexibility, balance, strength, those are all things that will ultimately save our lives and keep us young. But we must be intentional about giving time for those things, about making sure that we stay connected to the wellness practices that are at our fingertips for us to have. I want you today to practice yoga or Pilates and just remind yourself of how you are showing up for yourself in this moment and why that's important for how you want to show up for the rest of your days. Just enough is more than enough, Saran says.
