Welcome to January
Winter Hibernation and Practicing Extra Self Care
Why is it important to slow down and nurture our bodies during the winter months? How do we go inward but still stay positive and happy during the deepest winter season? How do we support our body, mind and spirit during January?
We will talk about self-care routine, specific lifestyle suggestions for the winter season, winter sports and exercise, the importance of visualization and meditation to manifest our goals for the upcoming year ahead. This is the best time to set goals for the New Year, and get clear about our future plans.
