More energizing ideas for your summer!
- Pickles are a great way to stay energized. Researchers found that the crunch, salt & vinegar wake up your senses & boosts brain function in 60 seconds! So, keeping those in mind I'm sure you can find many more crunchy, salty treats! This could be another great reason to check out your local Farmers Market or even a near by grocery store. With all these ideas of treats, I'm sure you can make this fun!
- As a massage therapist, I'm a huge advocate on this, but even if I weren't I'd still go for it!! Massage your toes!! Rubbing your feet & the spaces between each toe can amp energy levels by 50% for up to 2 hours! These spots hold great acupressure points that increase blood flow to the brain. Lazy? What is even better than rubbing your feet? Having someone else rub your feet! Set up a pedicure, have a friend or significant other rub them for you. You can even eat pickles while you get treated! Whatever you may decide, set something up for yourself this weekend! Still not persuaded? I can give one mean foot treatment, so just let me know & I'll make the time for you!
Remember to be keeping up with your practice, especially for these long summer days! Engage your core this week & work on your balance! My pose of the week is "Balancing Chair".
Remember to tuck our tail-bones, have our navels in & always remember to breathe! Try for 5-8 breaths
Once we are in Utkatasana, lift ourselves onto the ball of each foot, lifting our heels off the ground. Sink our glutes back & focus.
Want more of a challenge? REALLY engage our core & transition smoothly into a Virabhadrasana-Warrior I, still keeping our hips closed. Do this 2-3 times on each side. Enjoy!!Namaste
