Thank you for joining us for Sleep & Rest for Busy People! 

A huge thank you to everyone who spent their Sunday afternoon with me at HealthGirl Studio for our Sleep & Rest for Busy People Workshop.

We talked about why sleep can sometimes feel so difficult, some of the everyday things that can supp...

This week at the studio: you are enough.

Let your time at the studio be a reminder that, no matter what, you are enough.

You don't have to earn it.

You don't have to prove it.

You don't have to be perfect.

You are enough as you are, right now.

Come move, breathe, laugh, learn, rest, or simply ...

Does exercise have to look perfect to be worthwhile? Absolutely not.

Usually, my weekly How-To videos show you a movement, modification or technique you can try.

This week we're learning something a little different. 😂

Welcome to the How-To Bloopers.

But it's also a movement that's often done with too much weight, too much speed or by arching the ...

Can everyone do every yoga pose exactly the same way?

Nope.

Not even HealthRex.

In today's video, our favourite purple dinosaur discovers that lying on the floor for Locust Pose isn't exactly easy when you're a T. rex!

So... what does it do?

It adapts.

Instead of giving up, HealthRex demonstra...

Cobra Pose Hurts My Back. Is There Another Option?

If Cobra Pose doesn't feel comfortable for your body, you're not alone.

Today's movement is Locust Pose (Salabhasana)—a fantastic way to strengthen your back muscles while improving posture, stability and body awareness.

Unlike Cobra, where your ...

Breathe in. Breathe out.
Repeat after me, "I believe in me."
Please repeat it as often as you need.
You do so much and mean so much to so many, it's time you believe in yourself as much as I believe in you.
See you tomorrow :)
Cheers to your good health,
Meg

Isn't this the truth? Unfortunately, I do speak from experience. It wasn't until I slowed down and really looked at ...
