Gather Yoga + Wellness

M I N D F U L // Monday One of the greatest gifts that I have received over the last 12 years, is the gift of awareness; specifically the awareness of my own body. Growing up, the message was "no pain, no gain", "push through", "play through it".... After multiple marathons, half marathons, 12 years of soccer and 35 years of walking MILES of golf courses, standing on the driving range teaching and guiding fitness + yoga, my body sometimes hurts. I wanted to share some things that I do that ease the pain and restore my body balance. First, the disclaimer: I am not a doctor. My suggestion, ALWAYS, when it comes to joint pain is to get imaging so that you know what you are dealing with. These are in no particular order: 1. Hydrate: if you are thirsty, you are already dehydrated. Water, especially here in the desert, is sometimes not enough. I get gatorade and add two ounces of it into a 32 ounce bottle of water. 2. Salonpas: I found these when I was running long distances. They are a game changer. 3. Biofreeze: I love the roller because it doesn't drip and this it doesn't have a yucky smell. 4. Epic CBD Balm. SO grateful for this company. I put this miracle salve on bruises & achy parts. 5. Epsom Salts: I am not a bath person but I have become one because they work! I love the eucalyptus as well as the lavender. If you have near empty essential oil bottles, take off the cap (the plastic one, too) and place it face down in the epsom salt bag. Don't add essential oils to your bath straight. 6. Advil/Tylenol combo pill: FINALLY someone got smart and added these together. I use this, SPARINGLY as I have issues with kidney/liver. 7. Heating Pad + Ice pack Epic Health Co. "Organic Nano Hemp Company" Take what you need, leave the rest. Have a BEAUTIFUL week. xoxo Jen

Tomorrow night at The Path Women’s Circle it’s: Creative Connection! We are playing holiday music, reading one of the final guideposts from The Gifts of Imperfection and then doing something creative. Some of us are baking, some knitting, some painting, some just hanging out. It’s our Virtual Path Holiday Party! Beginning January 2021, we are exploring how we want to FEEL and then actively pursuing THAT! ... Some of us have NO idea how we actually WANT to feel. We know how we DON’T want to feel but that is not the same thing. Ready to live 2021 with intention? See you there! Gift yourself The Path Women’s Circle. Be Seen. Be Heard. Be YOU. www.wellandworthywithjen.com/the-path
