It’s a Rejuvenation Revolution!
Happy Spring! I have had much more time to contemplate and reflect during quarantine life, and am making the most of time at home with my hubby and doggie. I hope you are able to find some light in this uncertain situation, too.
I’m feeling inspired by the new season, the birds are singing, the flowers are blooming! I’m excited for everything this season has in store for me and for you as well. In fact, I’ve gotten so inspired that I made an awesome challenge to rejuvenate your body and spirit in under 15 minutes a day (more on that below)!
Whether you know me from the clinic, or have been following along here on the blog, you’ll know that I am all about taking realistic small steps to finding peace and ease in your body rather than looking for a miracle cure.
I’m a firm believer that little bits of self care lead to lasting change. Why? Because it works.
Real change—in our lifestyle, our mindset, our breath, our lives—doesn’t happen all at once. If you’re anything like me, you love the intoxicating hope and energy that comes with creating big, amazing goals. But at some point, we have to take the first step!
Now that it’s spring, a time of rebuilding and growth, it’s especially important to go step by step!
As we emerge from our winter cocoon into a more active lifestyle, it’s important to do this with grace and gentleness so that we can be present for our loved ones, and for ourselves. It’s easy to go full force and then find yourself burnt out before you even really got started. Trust me, I’ve been there! When that happens, those exciting goals might lose a bit of their allure. Luckily, that’s where the small changes I keep mentioning come into play!
Every change you manifest in life (big and bold, slow and steady—it all counts) starts with a decision. You decide you want to go after or create something, then you start walking that path. The key is to start where you are and just begin.
There’s something magical in those first small steps, no matter how baby they are. I think it’s time to honor those small steps.
So, as spring sets in, I’ve got an idea for you: Instead of going full speed ahead, let’s reserve some of that time for self care, so that you can keep moving forward in a calm and centered way!
I’m calling it the Rejuvenation Revolution!
I’m not saying you shouldn’t go after all those amazing and fun things you have planned for this spring and summer (you absolutely should!), but it is time for those plans to share your brainspace with your wellbeing, today.
Not your wellbeing next month or next year—your wellbeing now.
I’m talking about finding simple ways to nourish and care for yourself today. About taking simple, doable actions that bolster you up rather than wear you down. You might be surprised what’s possible when you put the next 6 months aside and focus on caring for yourself in this very moment!
Not sure where to start?
Join me for my 5 Day Restorative Yoga Challenge! If you haven’t experienced the power of restorative yoga before, you’re in for a treat! It’s the perfect opportunity to choose one small thing you can do for yourself now.
Instead of huge lifestyle changes, we’ll simply be adding one simple, relaxing restorative yoga posture to our day for 5 days. No prior experience necessary! I talk you through each exercise with enough detail for complete beginners (but don’t worry, I don’t gab the whole time)! It’s a fabulous way to kick-start this more active season with a steady, consistent energy with a focus on taking care of YOU.
Because no matter what your big goals for this spring and summer may be, adding just one restorative yoga pose a day to your routine will set you up for success in mind, body and soul. It’s a small step you can take today towards creating a healthy habits that will sustain you all year long.
When you join the challenge, you’ll get 5 restorative yoga postures to help you regain energy, be more calm and focused, relax your body and feed your soul! Just because we’re taking small steps doesn’t mean we can’t go after big, lovely results, right?!
When you join, you’ll get:
- Each day for 5 days you’ll receive one restorative yoga posture with a guided video in your email.
- You’ll also get tips on how to make the most of each posture and modifications if you need ’em.
- Oh, and did I mention that all the videos all take less than 15 minutes to complete?
It always helps to have accountability buddies on board, it’s one of the keys to success! So share this challenge far and wide!
This is your chance to give yourself some soothing, well-deserved care. Trust me, your body and mind will thank you.
Join me on this challenge today! I’ll be there to rest, restore, and replenish with you every step of the way.
With love,
Dr. Derya
