Weekly Newsletter – 3/12/2024

I hope you are enjoying whichever book you chose to start last week. I started the sequel to the book I recommended and it is just as hilarious as the first! This weekend was International Women’s Day and today is Working Moms Day!

The challenge this week is to spend some quality time with a woman you love. Show her that you appreciate her and make her feel celebrated! As we learned last year in our happiness class, expressing gratitude for others gives us a big boost of happiness! Happy celebrating!

Cheers,
Catherine Tro
Director of First Impressions

Healthy Living Tip

Perfect your Pigeon Pose

If you sit a lot at work or have tight hips, the pigeon pose (a popular pose in yoga) might help. It’s a simple pose that anyone can do, even if you don’t have experience practicing yoga. Here’s how to do it:

  • First, start on all fours with your hands shoulder-width apart and your knees hip-width apart.
  • Next, bring your right knee close to your right wrist and get your shin parallel to the mat’s top.
  • Then, bring your left leg back behind you and rest on the mat with your thigh, knee, and shin touching it.

Some find sitting in this pose with their chest upright enough. To increase the intensity of the pose, they lean forward, rest their forearms on the mat, and rest their heads on their hands.
