TIPS FOR PRACTICING DAILIY
- Listen to your body and respect its messages
- As we increase body awareness our ability to listen to our body becomes more attuned
- Ask teachers about adjustments for specific needs
- Take savasana before and after class
- Take a variety of our classes to foster resilience, balance, and curiosity
- Days you aren’t able to take a class at the studio, supplement with home practice, seated meditation or walking meditation (ask one of our teachers for instructions)
- Supplement with electrolyte
- Purchase Superieur Electrolytes in studio
- Drink coconut water(!)
- Add a small pinch of Himalayan sea salt + raw sugar to water (1 pinch to 1 liter)
- Eat foods high in electrolytes (watermelon, pomegranate, cucumber, orange, tart cherries, strawberries, beets, bananas, celery, and lemons)
- FYI: if you simply increase your water intake it can actually weaken mineral absorption through dilution. It’s best to add electrolytes to your water to rehydrate
