Ease back tension + improve your balance with some floor work
Loosen up your back and improve your balance with these satisfying floor moves!
You can live intentionally with passion and purpose as God’s beloved.
Live intentionally – including how you move your body!
Equipment needed
You really don’t need fancy equipment to do this. Supplies you might want to have on hand include:
- A sturdy, flat surface with room to stretch out
- Blanket, towel, rug, or yoga mat, if desired
- Clothing you can stretch and move in
Remember this!
As always, these key points are essential to healthy happy movement, including relaxing yoga:
- Be kind to your body! It’s the only one you’ve got! Speaking or thinking badly about it will only hinder you. (More research about that in future posts!)
- Always, always modify as needed. Only YOU know what your body is feeling. So if something isn’t working for you at this time, dial it back. Modify.
- Pursuing healthy movement is a gift you give yourself. Enjoy it. (And seek out healthy movement that fills you up! If yoga isn’t your jam, keep exploring and trying until you find your best-fit choice).

I’m Cortney, a recovering over-achiever and God’s beloved who loves helping fellow Christian women like you embrace your God-given gifts so you have the confidence to live authentically.
I’m also a full-time mama to two sweet little boys, wife to my best friend, motivational speaker, and part-time Christian life coach. Chai lattes, strong coffee, podcasts, yoga, dance, and fairy tales nourish my soul and add sweetness to life.
Discovering the joy of embracing my God-given gifts and who He created me to be was a game-changer—a journey that brought freedom, unexpected delights, and relief from guilt. Finally, I felt free to be myself and ditch the pressure of being someone I wasn’t.
Incorporating those gifts into my day—from weekly planning to deciding on commitments, nurturing my marriage, and parenting—transformed everything. Now, I can’t imagine life without the perspective of fully embracing who God created me to be. I was missing so much without it!
