Yoga Pep Talk: What’s your legacy going to be?
Here’s your yoga pep talk! We’re digging into the idea of “What kind of legacy are you creating?” Put another way, “What kind of story do you want your life to tell?”
This leads to the next big question: what small changes do you need to make to start telling that kind of story?
Like yoga, it’s all about regular practice. Showing up imperfectly. Strengthening those muscles – on and off the mat.
You can live intentionally with passion and purpose as God’s beloved.

What equipment or space will you need for this yoga pep talk?
The movements involve being on the floor or a sturdy surface for kneeling and sitting, so you’ll want the following:
- Space on the ground or in your bed to comfortably move and stretch (like stretching your arms out)
- Blanket, towel, rug, or yoga mat, if desired
- Clothing you can stretch and move in
What do you need to remember about doing this yoga pep talk?
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.

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!
