Guided Meditations, Workouts and Financial Fitness
Please look through our guided meditations and recorded workouts. These are for SPASD staff, and you will need your staff login to access.
Transition Tuesdays Playbacks: Give yourself the gift of a guided, relaxing transition from the work day into your evening with some gentle yoga and mindfulness. This 45-minute class will focus on getting ourselves grounded and present so that we can show up as our best selves in the evening. This combination of yoga and mindfulness is for all abilities and levels. We will work on getting out of our heads and into our bodies so that we can shake off the energy of the day transition into whatever awaits us.
Strong & Fit Workout Playbacks: Looking to build strength all over without bulking up? Alison Anderson the class for you! This 30 minute, body weight, circuit class will challenge your muscles to strengthen and tone, while adding a healthy heart burst of cardio. If you have small exercise bands (booty bands) bring 'em with, along with a yoga/exercise mat.
Healthy Living Group Talk: Group discussions include healthy & sustainable weight loss/maintenance, recipe sharing, and inspirational stories to encourage each of us to stay focused on our individual goals for healthy living!
Centering Thought: "Whatever excites you, go do it. Whatever drains you, stop doing it." - Derek Sivers
Managing Your Energy is a great morning meditation to assist you with experiencing a positive, balanced day.
Centering Thought: "Whether you think you can, or you think you can't - you're right." -Henry Ford
If you want to manifest something new in your life, such as a fit body, the right partner, more money, a new home, a new career, you have to begin with the belief that your desire is possible. Listening to Be a Master Manifestor can assist you with overcoming your critical voice to help you achieve your dream, whatever it may be.
Centering Thought: I am healthy. My immune system is strong. My body supports me.
The mind-body connection powerfully affects our immune system. This meditation will help stimulate your immune system and assist you in achieving your healthiest, most vibrant self.
Centering Thought: "When we lose someone we love, we must not learn to live without them, but to live with the love they left behind." This meditation will help you to allow the sensation of grief and to process your emotions in a safe environment.
