Fun quickly with this routine for 5 minutes at bedtime

Well, let’s talk about the extension of bedtime and the transfer of your body!

When it was cleansed to exercise after the birth of Lev, I could not wait to return to the training of the sweat timeline.

(I hope to return to OTF in the next few weeks, where my hand increases!)

After my last stop, I had one thing in my mind: yoga.

Yogaaaaa.

I was longing for a hot room, and I found my way to familiar situations, and I set it up all during Savasana. I am still unable to take a semester and push-up Merging parts of yoga in my daily life.

It may be a rapid flow with LV (it’s a large yoga fan), or a simple stretch routine before bed.

After that, I feel calm, focused and ready to crash. Works literally each. bachelor. time.
