8 ingredients to your movement cake

We made it past the holidays, and then we jumped right into the most chocolaty holiday of them all: Valentine's Day!  If your January movement plans didn’t go as planned, hopefully, this can jumpstart your February movement!

Chocolate Movement Cake!

Ingredients:

2 Cups of mobility

2 Cups of strength

2 Cups of heart health

1 Cup of connection

½ Cup of grace

½ Cup of joy

¼ Cup of Yes, I can!

Sprinkle of confidence, community, and laughter

Directions:

  1. Put 2 cups of mobility into your bowl (your hips) and stir them all the ways they are meant to move: internally, externally, and right down the center.

  2. Add the 2 cups of strength like the hundred, roll-up, weights, and downdog.

  3. Add 2 cups of jump board and meditation for heart health.

  4. Next, add the cup of connection to your mind/body with yoga and pilates.

  5. Mix all the above ingredients, then add grace, joy, and Yes! I can! Remind yourself that movement heals.

  6. Pour the ingredients into a fun baking pan of your choice and move in 360 degrees for 1 hour.

  7. Let your cake rest, and when cooled, add sprinkles of confidence, community, and laughter, and know you are where you are meant to be.

Happy Valentine's Day!
