Embrace Mindful Movement

Consider mixing strength training with yoga. The kind of yoga for real-world flexibility—like bending backwards to locate that damn pacifier stuck under the couch. Pilates can also work wonders for your core... or at least for reminding you that you've got one again.
Your journey, your rules, fabulous.

Who knew sweat and camaraderie made the perfect duo?
