Rest & Restore in 2024
JOIN in on this challenge, January 11th - 31st
Challenge yourself to 21 days of making healthy choices with one of the four optional challenges below:
Sleep
Improve your sleep patterns and habits
A good night's sleep can impact our mental and physical health. The key is in the choices you make all day long.

Stretching reduces muscle tension, and improves circulation, contributing to increased range of motion, and enhanced physical and mental relaxation.
