As we wrap up February, the month of hearts, flowers and love, it’s the perfect time to reflect on how you can keep the most important person in your life, YOU, happy and healthy. 💕

While heart-shaped chocolates are nice, let’s focus on five fun and easy ways to keep your own heart pumping with joy!

Move and groove! 💃
Shake it, twist it, or groove like nobody’s watching! Your ticker needs at least 150 minutes of moderate activity each week to do its job. Dancing counts, so let loose and have a blast! 💃
Color your plate! 🌈
Fill your meals with colorful fruits and veggies. Think of your plate as a work of art—more colors mean more nutrients and different kinds of fiber–both crucial for heart health. Eat the rainbow every day.
Chillax! 🧘🏽‍♀️
Stress is your heart's worst enemy. Chill out with yoga, meditation, or breathing exercises. Remember, a calm heart is a happy heart!
Our Yoga Community is a great place to start!
Sleep like a Queen (or King!) 👑
Quality sleep is your heart's best friend. As adults, we need 7-9 hours of uninterrupted sleep, most nights. So prioritize your sleep by creating a cozy bedtime routine. Dim the lights, turn off all screens (including TV) at least one hour before turning in, to let your mind and heart recharge.
Connect IRL! ✨
Despite technology offering us numerous ways to connect, about 20% of Americans classify as lonely. One study shows a correlation between the amount of time you spend on Facebook and how depressed you are. Foster meaningful connections in real life–hashtag IRL–and remember while romance is great, you don’t need a partner to benefit from connection. Start with self-love, then reach out to others. Building a strong relationship with yourself, friends, family and even pets, nourishes your soul and keeps your heart joyful.

So this month, let’s commit to loving our human hearts. A happy heart leads to a happy, healthy life. ❤️

Here’s to dancing, laughing and loving our way through February!
