UNWIND AFTER THE HOLIDAYS
BY ROMY DROUBY
The holidays are a time for joy and indulgence, but they can leave us feeling heavy and out of balance. Ease back into wellness with these simple Pilates and detox practices to reset your body and mind.
Gentle Movement to Recharge
Start with light Pilates exercises:
Child’s Pose to stretch and calm.
Spinal Roll-Downs to release tension.
Leg Circles to activate the core.
A short 15–20 minute session can boost circulation and aid digestion.
Hydrate and Nourish
Support your body with:
Warm Lemon Water to kickstart digestion.
Herbal Teas like ginger or dandelion for detox.
Whole Foods: Leafy greens, probiotics, and light soups to nourish and restore balance.
Mindful Practices to Reset
Gratitude Journaling: Reflect on holiday joys.
5-Minute Meditation: Let go of stress and reconnect.
Digital Detox: Reduce overstimulation and create calm.
Recharge and refresh
Quality sleep helps the body reset. Create a calming bedtime routine with herbal teas, light stretches, and screen-free time.
Wellness after the holidays is about restoring balance, not restriction. Small, mindful steps like gentle movement, hydration, and self-care can help you feel lighter and more connected in no time.
