Have been having a rough few days, I needed this! I listened to my body and about halfway through I switched to child’s pose🤷🏽‍♀️😂

Emma

Very calming + mindful. 

I appreciated the moment of stretching legs 🦵🏾🦵🏾

Aprili R. E. Amani

This one was needed. After a long stress period of school I could finally relax. Concentrating on my breathing did help me forget all my worries. Thank you Mwanini!

Cynthia

Reshida Sabajo

I couldn’t stay still the first 2 minutes, but I managed to silence my thoughts and omg I need to meditate more often!!

Elodie Valentin

It was easy. You guide me through the steps on how to start  my meditation.  Thank you

Chaquinta Perkins

Well...it was very intense and actually hearing your voice and giving me guidance was a new experience for me. It took me out of my comfort zone. I don’t know what it means but I cried and I don’t understand why. 😢

Valencia Hall-Jones

it was amazing!* day two and i feel relaxed i am learning so much and challenging myself to be a better person for me! i am on my way to finding my glow❤️

Shay Davis

I absolutely loved this practice ! I have been feeling a bit stressed out lately, so this made me more calm and also aware that I have a bad posture ! I felt alot of tension in my back and shoulders and kept on changing position. It did not feel like 10 minutes to me, I was completely zoned out and didn't wanna open my eyes haha ! lovely way to start my morning !

Welcome to your Day 2 of the GLOW-challenge! 

Our 12 Days Of GLOW continues, today with a guided meditation.  In this meditation we will work on finding peace with ourselves. Connecting our body and mind and becoming comfortable in our body. 

Your body and mind are your home and in order to live a peaceful life you have to get rid of all the clutter in the rooms. So this meditation we focus on our posture and breath during meditation so we can achieve a sense of relaxation from within.

Too advanced for me but it’s a good start :)

Amazing! Definitely needed this today💪🏼💪🏼

Day 1 
||Breath & Movement||
Yoga Flow

Writing everything down makes it real. Still have some difficulties to be positive but I'm getting there.

I love that this short writing and these couple of questions made me realize so much! I used to write all day every day. Untill I didn’t feel like it anymore cause I was stuck in all my feelings. And I missed it. Now I created a level of consciousness I apparently craved. These questions made me stand still and reset my goals. After saying the affirmation 3x to myself I noticed how I also wanted to invite and feel gratitude towards life, including the one I’m living. Which I havent felt in a long time. You guys are amazing, and for that I’m thankful!

Day 3
Self Love
|| My Mind, My Home ||

Again wonderful! Did this for the second time and first time I had a laugh at losing my balans second time I had already improved a biy

Everyday I get a little better at doing each pose. And like every time I feel so at ease. Thank you for today 💕

That practice was great. I really enjoy how balancing challenges your physical and mental body.

Day 4
|| Finding Balance ||
Yoga Flow

Did this before going outside for an appointment. So happy I did because I feel so relaxed now. This is a new habit I'm creating and I love it.

So hard to keep focus as my breath is way too fast voor 5 counts in and out. But the way thoughts and feelings arise in the silence was exactly what I needed. As I was feeling low on energy and aggitated, I now know it was sadness underneath. Definitely something I’d like to practise more often, as it’s only 10 min a day. To dig deeper and find peace of mind!

relaxing i still need to work on my breathing techniques. but this is soothing

Day 5
||Mind, Body & Breath||Guided Meditation

It's actually the first time in my life I've been able to answer questions like these. I have clear vision of what I want and I'm going after it

Again, mind blown. It almost seems too simple to work, which already explains how I can create difficulties for myself. But these questions made me realize I’m already aware and moving towards my goals and reconsider if my fears are actually still my fears or just habits for way too long which creates stagnant energy. Thank you for simplifying things this way!

These exercises are making journaling a bit easier 🙌🏾

Day 6
Self Love
|| Safe Space ||

omgaaaaawd! not gunna lie i cussed a few times during this session!*  man o man this was a workout and my poor body just doesnt understand what i want it to quite do just yet because im still learning myself... at times i felt myself getting frustrated  and mad with me... there was a moment i almost quit..but then i stopped and said why are you mad Shay? because you dont look like JuJu? because your body wont bend and twist right now?! STOP IT BE PROUD OF WHAT YOU ARE DOING! thank yourself for stretching yourself further than you ever have! thank you for trying! thank you for also knowing your limit when there isnt something u cant do just yet.. just break and do child  pose..breathe!  i even rewinded on certain parts to watch how juju was placing her feet and body at certain poses. although i have a metal rod in my spine  i am LIMITLESS! (until my body says otherwise😂)  im glad i didnt give up and im proud for today❤️❤️❤️❤️🥂🥂 cheers to me🥂🥂

This workout was a breath of fresh air. My muscles were shaking and once I figured out how to breathe properly I was more relaxed and the movements became more fluid. I was always told that I am such a strong person. I’ve learned after my flow that I can’t control everything. Each challenge you’ve given me served a purpose and a message of what I’m feeling at the time. I never understood about having a strong core. That core is your center... I can’t control it with my mind, I have to allow it to flow within me. Thank you ladies.🙏🏽

Day 7
||Call on your Strength||
Yoga Flow

Releasing Negativity was difficult for me to relax at first. After 5 minutes I was able to connect with my feelings. The inhaling 5 counts and exhaling 5 counts helped me focus on my breathing and affirmations. I am learning to allow myself to be vulnerable and letting go of my fears and taking more risks.

Today was a bit tricky for me.. my fam spend the whole day here until late so I could not find a "quiet" place to meditate. When I did calm myself and started the meditation, someone interrupted it 😩😭 (even after letting them know NOT to interrupt) So I had to restart like 2/3 times, until I went upstairs and locked the door 😂 Now i know for sure.. only meditate when I am by myself lol, lesson learned ! The minute I got in my element I felt good again, at peace again and calm 🙏🏽

Today, I was consumed with a lot of emotions about worthiness. Today’s meditation helped get me in a better head space and I loved the affirmations that were offered. Saying them out loud really helps ground me and internalize the affirmation.

Day 8
||Releasing Negativity||
Guided Meditation

This one was a hard one for me, but much needed!! I find it hard to to talk to the mirror and keep looking away. But didn't give up, kept repeating the affirmations and in the end it became easier. This is something I need to keep working on! Thank you for this❤

I defenitely needed this self love exercise, it was the perfect timing. Since friday I was having some self doubt moments, random thoughts about my future and I really needed a kick or push like Jennifer.. look what you've accomplished so far, look what you've changed about yourself so far and there is so much more ahead of you.. but take some time to applaud for yourself too! So this was really a reminder for me to stop lacking and keep pushing, sometimes it's okay to have a moment and rethink everything but don't dwell on it too long! ❤️❤️❤️

I feel relieved and proud of myself. I feel more calm and I have more mental clarity of what’s been stirring up my emotions through out the years. I’m ready for whatever comes my way. 🙏🏽

Day 9
|| Letting Go ||
Self Love Exercise

i get  frustrated very quickly with yoga, i hope to improve  my own attitude towards yoga when i dont feel i look a certain way or if im not doing the stretch or pose correctly im still kinda harsh on myself with yoga, my neck is still very tense when i stretch in cobra pose i believe it is called? also have to remind myself i do have a flippin rod in my spine.

I loved the workout once again, I started with yoga in the morning & now I'm ending the day with yoga right before going to bed! I can't believe it's day 10 already.. BUT I don't want it to end 😩😭 so ready for more after this challenge ❤️❤️🙏🏽🙏🏽

I really loved today’s heart opening flow. I set an intention for unconditional self love during the practice and released judgement about what my practice looked like. It was a beautiful flow and I felt good and fully present in my body after.
