Barre with Justine

Fitness and Wellness

ABOUT ME

Justine

Hello!  My name is Justine and I’m a Fitness Instructor (and Academic Librarian) in Niagara, Ontario.  My certifications include CanFitPro FIS, Les Mills BodyStep & BodyFlow, Balletone, SoulBody Barre & Yoga Sculpt, and Barre Above. I also have my 200 hour Yoga Teacher Training (2020).

I danced (mainly ballet) throughout my childhood until high school, and then fell in love with group fitness.

​I am also a mom of three, avid reader and fan of all things makeup and beauty-related.  

​Check out this page for dance-inspired fitness tips and videos!

https://www.instagram.com/reel/CoFD8gtPiqh/ #mondaymotivation Tight hips can be the worst and can happen for various reasons - running/cycling/sitting too much or even just stress can tighten up the muscles around the hips. Thich Nhat Hanh recommends the 3-breath hug, which is such a lovely way to connect with someone you love 💗 even your tween! 😄 Breathing can be so much more than just what we do naturally - we can use the breath to relieve stress, create focus, and build deeper connections with those around us (more on that at my blog!) It’s fun to add balance into upper body work by lifting one knee up… Food prep tip!  If you are turning on the oven to bake cookies (😅), throw in some healthy things too!  Once the cookies are finished baking, dial the heat up to 375 or 400 and roast some veggies (I did sweet potatoes and beets) and egg bites with grated cheese. 🥕🥦🥚🍪 ✨Excited to announce I am Yoga Face Method certified!  Thank you @annelise_hagen for the amazing training and for being such a kind and generous mentor. Did you remember to breathe today?  Of course you don’t need to REMEMBER to breathe - but it’s the one involuntary thing we do that we can also control. Slowing down our breathing is a way to lower our heart rate, activate our rest/digest (parasympathetic) state and just feel really good.

Try this flow or just a few of these stretches 🧘‍♀️💗✨

• downward dog to 3-legged dog with open hip 
• low lunge with rotation
• seated twist (hug knee to feel the stretch in the glutes)
• cow’s face pose
* repeat on the other side and finish in child’s pose

Did you like this? Send it to a friend who needs a good stretch or save for the next time your hips are sore! 💕

Another tip!  I used to always roast veggies on parchment until a chef told me they are better roasted right on the pan with space between them to better caramelize. Gawd I miss those PC cooking schools!! 😢

-boost circulation
-release tension in the face (and in the body)
-lift and tone facial muscles
