Does it feel impossible to take care of your family and yourself too? 

Do you feel guilty about making your own health a priority? 

Do you believe that healthy changes are just too challenging? 

You are not alone. 

Here is the good news: Research tells us that mothers spending time on themselves – on relaxation and self-care – and not so much on housework, is associated with positive outcomes for children. Because you can’t pour from an empty cup, you will learn practical strategies to prioritize health and wellness in your own life so that you can offer your best to your children and teach by being a positive role model. You will gain quick tips on: 

● Practical fitness routines that work 

● Quick healthy nutrition strategies 

● Simple self-care approaches for overall well-being 

Busy parents – join us to find hope, inspiration and practical solutions to lifelong wellness. No more dinners of leftover mac and cheese scraped from your toddler’s plate. You can do this!

There can be a fine line between encouraging healthy habits in our children and creating negative thoughts on body image and self-perception. We want the best for our children, but often forget that they are watching how we treat ourselves and model their own behaviors after that.  

Join us for this quick, practical class, where we will: 

• Discover ways to speak about our bodies that encourage body positivity for our children 
• Discuss the reasons why we need to model healthy behaviors for our children  
• Develop a plan to include quick healthy practices into your daily life and encourage healthy habits in your children without adding pressure or negative connotations. 

It’s often difficult to prioritize wellness for ourselves and our families, especially when life gets busy and stressful. This series will help you find ways to prioritize wellness, how to sneak movement into a hectic schedule, and how to treat yourself kindly when challenges arise. Health and wellness doesn’t have to be another added stress in your life. In fact, with the right strategies, fitness and nutrition can help you decrease stress and improve the quality of family time. In this library of classes, you will learn strategies to:

• Incorporate more movement into your day, on your own and with your family 
• Set realistic goals and determine steps needed to reach them
• Develop sustainable healthy habits
• Treat yourself and your body with kindness, teaching your children to do the same.

We parents of young children have too much to do and not enough time to do it. So certain things fall off the to-do list, and fitness is usually one of the first to go. At the same time, we know deep down that we are more patient and positive when we take better care of ourselves. 

After this class, parents will be able to 

• Find practical strategies for self care
• Discover easy ways to fit self care into a busy schedule
• Create a simple plan to increase self care moving forward

When we find ways to include our kids in our self-care and fitness routines it models the behaviors we want them to embody, and can be the beginning of lifelong healthy habits.

After this class, parents will be able to 

• Identify ways to safely include children of all ages into fitness routines 
• Create a plan to keep children engaged and interested in fitness
• Develop simple ideas to keep the whole family moving
