Good Day to All,

Today will conclude another full workweek in quarantine mode. I know for me it was a bit challenging at times; weather hasn’t been that great and there seems to be an abundance of high importance work right now! I’m glad it’s Friday and I bet you are too. Let’s finish the week strong.

One announcement: Coach Cole will be running an online Yoga class for DMA members and other yogis tomorrow morning at 10am. Tune into Cole’s Instagram account (@creifsnider) and get your stretch on at 10am!!

On Yoga: for me, I like to use Yoga as an active recovery exercise/practice. I’m new to it and it’s challenging for me but definitely provides that sustainable, mobility/stretching routine I need to stay on the mats. I highly recommend you take Cole’s class tomorrow morning and when we reopen take her 9am Saturday classes.
