January Wellness Plans for 2023

As the post-COVID world continues to re-emerge in 2023, January wellness plans can be an essential part of helping individuals and communities to move forward. A January wellness plan provides a structured way to help achieve balance and manage stress, as well as increase resilience. It involves setting goals for physical, mental, spiritual and emotional wellbeing on a monthly basis. In addition to setting and recognizing a need for these goals, it is very important to show yourself kindness in implementing your plans. We don’t take our vehicles from 0 to 100 right away, we can’t expect our bodies and minds to do the same.

We are incredibly lucky to be in the business of helping folks with their wellness goals at Endurance! During this holiday week, please reach out to join us at the studio and online for classes and for assistance setting your upcoming goals and managing your expectations. We would love to be your best cheerleaders!

It can be beneficial to set realistic January wellness goals that help to form a more holistic picture of health and wellbeing, rather than focusing on one area alone. For example, physical January wellness goals could include regular exercise and eating healthy food; mental January wellness goals might involve meditation or journaling; spiritual January wellness goals could involve prayer or reading spiritual texts; and emotional January wellness goals might include spending more time with friends and family, or learning how to better deal with difficult emotions. 

Creating January wellness plans can also be a powerful tool for self-motivation and accountability. By writing down January wellness goals, it helps to keep them at the forefront of your mind, and also to review progress made and obstacles encountered. Writing January wellness goals down in a journal or on a calendar can be especially helpful for staying on track with whatever plan is put in place. 

Ultimately January wellness plans are all about taking control of your physical, mental, spiritual and emotional health to achieve balance in a post-COVID world. By setting January wellness goals, folks can create a more optimistic outlook for the coming year. 

January wellness plans may differ from person to person, but the overall focus is on creating long-term sustainability in order to increase wellbeing and resilience in 2023. 

By taking proactive steps to create January wellness plans, individuals and communities can work towards a healthier, happier future. 

Good luck on your January wellness plans, and we wish you a healthy 2023!

December at Endurance!

Welcome to the last month of 2022! Ready to commit to a new workout program? START NOW! Get in and form your habits right now! We make changes in our bodies via our everyday habits, the little, sometimes mundane, things that we do everyday like:

1. Reading ingredients labels
2. Cutting out chemicals, fillers, gums and preservatives- a must, I guarantee, you will change your body! Check your almond milk, those fillers and preservatives, they swell the intestine and force your body to expel water. Most are not easy digested by folks with a normal digestive system, let alone people with sensitive or tough to manage stomachs.
3. Eat foods in their natural form. Less jars, boxes and bags, more skins and peels.
4. Moving your body as much as possible. Walking when possible. Taking the stairs, standing up- get off of the chair during the Zoom meetings.
5. Find a workout that you enjoy, of course and try to try and do a little bit every single day!

Le’s plan to add these small steps in! Planning a large and invasive change in December , or even possibly January, may be a little too much, too soon. Changes are made via the small but mighty habits that folks integrate into their lifestyles.

At Endurance, we would love to help you with your health and wellness journey! Let us guide you throughout therest of 2022 and into 2023. Hope to see you in studio soon!

Pilates Teacher Training!

We are so excited to be back in the business of teaching teachers. One of our favorite things to share at Endurance is our decades of experience in studying and teaching Pilates- both Classical and Contemporary. We have taken the very best methods of teaching and training in dozens of movement and educational disciplines and applied them to Classical Pilates principles. At our studio, we emphasize that teachers of the Pilates Method must learn Classical Pilates in order to teach any form of Pilates. Similar to a musician, students and teachers must learn the Classics, the basics, the technique, before branching out into jazz or other forms of music. And, in order to be the BEST Pilates teacher possible, we ask that our teachers continue their education in Pilates and all movement forms with daily lessons, continuing education and dedication to movement practice and study!

We recently had the privilege, earlier in November, of sharing Endurance Pilates with a group of instructors interested in learning to teach Group Reformer classes! The wonderful thing about sharing our method with students and teachers is the excitement we see when practitioners find those a-ha moments! We had such a good time, the 20 hours absolutely flew by and we all learned something new. The beauty of Endurance is that we earn something new every single day as instructors, teachers and students!

If you are interested in learning to teach any movement form or just want to learn more about your movement and Classical Pilates, we invite you to join us for our next Group Mat teacher training 1/12-1/15.
