5 Simple Ways to Incorporate Flourish into Your Daily Routine

In today's fast-paced world, it can be challenging to find time for exercise and self-care. However, incorporating barre, Pilates, and yoga into your daily routine can have numerous benefits for your physical and mental health. Here are five simple ways to make these types of exercises a regular part of your life:

1.  Practice in the morning
   Starting your day with some gentle stretching and movement can help you wake up your body and mind and set a positive tone for the rest of your day. You don't need to devote hours to your practice - even ten minutes of yoga or Pilates in the morning can make a big difference in how you feel throughout the day.

2.  Take a lunchtime class
   If you work a 9-to-5 job, taking a lunchtime barre or yoga class can be a great way to break up your day and get some exercise. Flourish offers 1pm classes that are designed to fit into a busy schedule, and you can return to work feeling energized and refreshed.

3. Incorporate stretching breaks throughout the day
   If you have a sedentary job, it's essential to take regular breaks to stretch and move your body. Set a timer on your phone or computer to remind you to stand up and stretch for a few minutes every hour. You can do simple stretches like seated forward folds or neck rolls at your desk or take a quick walk around the block to get some fresh air and sunshine.

4. Practice before bed
   Incorporating barre, Pilates, or yoga into your evening routine can help you wind down after a long day and prepare your body for a restful night's sleep. Gentle stretching or restorative poses can help release tension in your body and calm your mind, making it easier to fall asleep and stay asleep.

5. Make it a family affair
   Incorporating barre, Pilates, or yoga into your family's daily routine can be a fun and healthy way to spend time together. You can practice together in the morning or evening, take a family yoga class, or do a quick workout together during a break in your day. Not only will you be getting exercise, but you'll also be creating memories and building stronger bonds with your loved ones.
