to take care of our bodies and our mental health! Every Friday, we will post different
options for you and your family to be active. Enjoy :) 

Option 1: Yoga (28 minute video) → This video is aimed at reducing stress and
helping you fall asleep. It is a total body stretching workout and does not require
any experience in yoga. After completing this video, you will feel relaxed, less
stressed and you may want to make this part of your going to bed routine!
