It seems crazy, but we’re already a quarter of the way through 2022! So we’d like you to consider this as your First Quarter locker-room rally. Of course you’re still going to be plagued by self-doubt and self-criticism, but these five reminders of what you’re doing – and why – should help you glide through those bad patches and achieve your goals: • Remember why you’re doing this in the first place: because you want to live a happy, healthy life.

Aerial yoga is a fun variation on traditional yoga that involves using a hammock for support as you perform the poses while suspended in the air. Aerial yoga not only improves balance and builds muscle strength, but it may also help with weight loss.
