To you, from CWHC: Self and Community Care

 
To help our community, and ourselves, have a healthy transition into the New Year, CWHC collective members are sharing their tips and suggestions on self and community care. We'll share 5 of these throughout the season and are proud to start off with suggestions from Jessica Young, CWHC Health Educator, devoted yogi, and yoga teacher.

Jess recently wrote about self care here on her blog and, for this series, has written a breathing practice that can be done anywhere at anytime. Click here to learn more about the practice.

Jess also recommends Abhyanga, a practice of self massage with oil to help with stress and the changing weather.

For more suggestions, keep an eye out throughout December on our social media and here on our website. Take care!
