by: kerry watson need a little yoga in your life? we've found the perfect thing! it's the down dog yoga app! i have been meaning to get myself into better physical shape for many months now and after many failed attempts i've finally found this awesome app. it's free, fun and something that i think i can stick to. it's like having a private yoga class in the comfort of my own living room. i love the music and the routines. you can choose from yoga flow or restorative and there are beginner and intermediate options for both. you can choose the length and pace of your practice as well. i've been doing 30 minutes a day at the normal pace. sticking to a regular yoga practice is a great way to calm and balance the stress response which helps to control inflammation. it also helps to improve sleep which has a positive effect on the skin. the other apps that we've found to be helpful with stress management are insighttimer and headspace. these are great mindfulness mediation apps. insighttimer is my personal fave. you can search for different guided mediations. i love to do the true north sleep mediation right before bed. here it is on youtube as well. it works like a charm anytime i'm having trouble falling or staying asleep.
