Our Annual Staff Training on January 4th focused on Antiracism led by Dr. Monea. Dr. Monea, a racial justice speaker, trainer and yoga teacher, guided us through many thought-provoking activities over Zoom, including examining our role in systemic racism, while outlining key points in the antiracism learning journey like; take the lessons and leave the stories, expect & accept non-closure, listen for understanding, and anticipate impact.

🌟LIFTing into the New Year🌟 You need to lift weights! Full stop. Skeletal muscle is the organ of longevity. (Don't believe us? Check out this podcast with Dr. Gabrielle Lyon and Erin Holt). Loss of muscle mass, strength and function starts at age 30 at a rate of 3-8% per decade and increases after the age of 60. How can we slow that roll? Resistance training for strength (ie lifting heavy) and adding in short, intense bursts of activity (ie Inferno Hiit) are effective. Let's face it, your athletic performance and independence in advanced age are dependent on [...]

Let’s Talk About Heat!

🔥Let’s talk about HEAT baby!🔥 We HEART the heat at The Studio. In fact it’s the main attraction for many of our fabulous clients.

Making Sure We Fuel Our Bodies This month it's all about FUEL. Your body performs best when it is properly fueled. Are you showing up for class ready to go? Making sure you’re well-fueled and hydrated, particularly in the summer heat, takes some intentional effort. More sweat out means more liquids in, adding in electrolytes (LMNT is the perfect on-the-go option!), and protein (grab an Apres from the cooler!) as you can. Properly fueling, also includes rest. That’s right, rest. In order for your body to perform optimally, it needs time to recover and repair. It also means [...]
