I love running

Running is the perfect time to sort out your thoughts & honour our body.

When i set aside some  time in a day to push my bodies limits i feel like i've seized the moment & really lived the day.

Yoga & Running go hand in hand

Your Body is Your Temple

30 mins practice followed by my 40 min run.
Always remember to stretch post run - hip flexors, hams & Achilles tendon

Essential

Zen green Tea .... yummm

Setu Bandasana

Coming into your Bridge-

*Feet & knees come to hip width distance, be mindful not to allow the knees to splay open to the sides

*Finger tips barely knick the heals, inhale to lift the hips starting with the tail bone.

 You may clasp your hand below you and come up onto your shoulders if that is available to you.

Shoulder blades shift down along the spine, allow for softness in the neck

Hold pose for 5 – 15 breaths actively breathing into the low back (lumbar region)

**Allow yourself to experience all the feelings and sensations that come along with your Bridge pose and think about finding length between the vertebrae.

*RELEASE  SLOWLY on exhalation allowing for each vertebra to come down starting with the cervical spine, tail bone being the last to touch down.

Benefits

Stretches chest neck & Spine

Calms brain & central nervous system

Stimulates  thyroid glands

Improves digestion

Reduces feelings of anxiety fatigue &  headache

Therapeutic for asthma high blood pressure, sinusitis, hypertension

Strengthens back buttocks and hamstrings

You never Know Until You Ask

A dream doesn't become reality through magic; it takes sweat, determination and hard work.

Here's a Hint

Tea Tasting

Trying a new tea today ---
Red Raspberry  NOW

Light flavour

Power Snacks

Here are some great ideas for at work power snacks


Almonds -  Help Stabilize blood sugar levels


Avacado & Olive Oil - (thank you Longos) -

Avocados are also rich in potassium, which regulates kidney function and blood pressure, and folate, a B vitamin that helps the body produce and maintain new cells.

Hard Boiled Egg - With just 80 calories, one protein-packed hard-boiled egg can curb your appetite for hours

Blueberries -

At just 80 calories per cup and no fat, blueberries will sharpen your focus for the rest of the afternoon.

Livestrong.com is an amazing website for everything under the sun to do with  healthy living.
