Stressing Out? Try Yoga


Yoga is a great way to relieve stress. For centuries people have enjoyed the many benefits of yoga! Try it - you may just find it complements your current fitness efforts very nicely.

If you're like me - the month of December can seem even more hectic than other months. Finding time for fitness can challenge all of us. Don't let your fitness program suffer due to the hustle and bustle of the Holidays. Stick with it. Write a time down in your planner - and don't let anyone or anything interfere with your time for better health and fitness!

Sometimes you can fit in little bits of exercise at the most unexpected times. Sneak in a morning walk while you're waiting to meet with the boss. The benefits of quick, focused walk can help you keep calm while meeting with even the most difficult boss!

Bring a jump rope and a good pair of jogging or walking shoes to work and sneak in 15 or 20 minutes at lunch. Do the stairs for a healthy boost of energy.

Here are some easy yoga stretches you can do at your desk:



If you find yourself feeling stressed during this wonderful time of year - slow down and smell the mistletoe! Take a kid to lunch or Supper and feel their excitement! Try something new to spice up your fitness!

Try Yoga to help relieve some of the nearly inevitable Holiday stress!
