Equipment/space needed
You don’t need fancy equipment to do this. Supplies you might want to have on hand include:
- 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
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 option).

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!
