For several months, our lives have involuntarily gone through a collective slow down. During our increased time at home and decreased time at work, many of us have experienced more space and time for thinking. Despite our world’s circumstances, this is a great time to start practicing individual mindfulness. Instead of wishing the days away, here are some ways to incorporate awareness, purpose, meaning and self-care into your daily life.
Physical Wellness
Exercise is critical when it comes to physical wellness. This is the perfect time to try something new. One of our favorite workouts for both cardio, strength, stretching and overall tonality is Pilates. Betsy Weissman, Old Town’s fitness guru, recently announced that her studio, Sculp’d, will offer four workout options: in-studio reservations-only classes with machines spaced 10 feet apart, virtual classes with live instruction, 100 on-demand classes, and an online virtual studio that includes stretching techniques, recipes and workout playlists.
Whether you’re coming home from an afternoon of fitness in a safe studio or working out from home, the perfect enhancement to your physical living space is waiting for you at Saje Natural Wellness. Their diffusers release essential oils into the air to revitalize it while also enhancing your space’s appearance with an organic and sleek style.
Spa Treatments
While some spas like TuSuva Body and Skin Care are reopening safely, some people would rather continue treatments at home or at least scale back visits. One of the easiest ways to revamp your routine is with skincare. In addition to a basic skincare routine, adding a mask into the rotation can elevate your regular treatments. Silver Mirror Facial Bar’s Dupont Circle location has reopened, and its masks are a great stay-at-home substitute for your pampering routine.
Mindfulness & Spirituality
The past few months have been taxing for everyone across the globe, so it’s a perfect time to focus on healing. We love the options at Wellness Official. The platform provides access to remote classes centered around energy healing, yoga, meditation and more.
