Thursday night yoga

Hi everyone!

I've been kind of M.I.A. with my Thursday afternoon classes! Summer gets really busy! Tonight I am going to go River SUP from Carbondale to Iron Bridge at 5 if anyone wants to join!

In place of my teaching tonight, I thought I would forward everyone this information to use as needed.

Are there any times you are available that you would like me to teach yoga?

Also, I have been doing Family Yoga at the basketball court here in Marble. My next family yoga class is at 9 a.m. on Monday, June 22nd. Stop by if you would like to do some yoga! The first half an hour is kid focused the second half an hour can be more adult focused.

I hope everyone is well!

SUPcerely,

Jaime Fiske

Mind Shift is one of the best mental health apps designed specifically for teens and young adults with anxiety. Rather than trying to avoid anxious feelings, Mind Shift stresses the importance of changing how you think about anxiety. Think of this app as the cheerleader in your pocket, encouraging you to take charge of your life, ride out intense emotions, and face challenging situations.

Self-Help for Anxiety Management (SAM)

SAM might be perfect for you if you’re interested in self-help, but meditation isn’t your thing. Users are prompted to build their own 24-hour anxiety toolkit that allows you to track anxious thoughts and behavior over time, and learn 25 different self-help techniques. You can also use SAM’s “Social Cloud” feature to confidentially connect with other users in an online community for additional support.

Use the positive and negative habit tracker to maintain your good habits, and break those that are counterproductive. We particularly love the “Get Grounded” page, which contains over 100 different questions to pinpoint what you’re feeling, and the “Thinking Patterns” page, which teaches you how to stop negative internal monologues. Try it out for yourself.
