⭐ Today’s session

Here is a 3-exercise routine you can do without leaving home.

Tips for starting yoga: To make the most of your first yoga session, choose a quiet spot. Get a good mat and wear loose, comfortable clothing. We also recommend taking it gradually — flexibility isn’t built in a single session! Avoid eating right before, so you’re not exercising on a full stomach, just as you would before any workout.

CAT POSE

Kneel down with your legs slightly apart. Rest on your hands, keeping your arms and thighs vertical. Keep your shoulders as relaxed as possible.

Then move into the cat pose by rounding your back and lowering your head. Exhale as you hold the position.

Next, as you inhale, let your belly drop toward the floor and arch your back. Open your chest and draw your shoulders back.

For 1 minute, alternate between the two positions while focusing on your breathing.

COBRA POSE

Lie face down, join your legs and keep them straight with your feet together. Place your hands at your sides at shoulder height, with your forearms resting on the floor.

Then slowly lift your torso as you inhale.

Once in position, take a few slow breaths for 1 minute.

CHILD’S POSE

To get into child’s pose, start by sitting back on your heels with your legs folded beneath you. Let your arms hang along your body. Then gently lean your torso forward until your forehead rests on the mat. If your forehead doesn’t quite reach the floor, don’t worry — with practice, you’ll gain more flexibility in your back.

Hold the position for 1 minute, breathing slowly.

Today’s tip: Get enough sleep

Exercise and nutrition are the two key pillars of a healthy lifestyle — but did you know that sleep is just as essential? Getting a good night’s rest helps you burn more calories throughout the day, keeps cravings at bay, and wards off energy dips and stress. And as a bonus, better sleep can also help reduce the appearance of cellulite. To stay in shape and rediscover smoother skin, aim for at least 7 hours of sleep a night starting tonight!

OUR COACHING TIP: There are also effective products to help you keep working on your thighs even while you sleep! The brand-new Night Slimming Treatment – Thighs is your ultimate slimming ally. Thanks to its unique brown algae formula, it boosts fat elimination throughout the night to help slim and smooth away dimples. All while you do absolutely nothing!
