A Note From Alena and Sarah

While the holidays can be merry and bright, they can also be hard on your body and mind. Before diving into holiday festivities this year, check in with yourself physically, mentally and emotionally. Ponder what your body needs to feel fueled, flexible and resilient. Explore what your mind needs to remain present rather than bogged down by stress and anxiety. 

By acknowledging both the wonders and the challenges the season brings, we can approach this time with love, grace and thoughtfulness. It’s a gift we can give to ourselves and those we love most, and it’s undoubtedly worth the effort.

Be well,

Alena & Sarah
