Alethea spoke to Nicole Tognetti this week about what the Working-In Program means to her.

I have loved stepping onto my mat at Alethea’s studio to practice yoga for the past year. Yoga has been an amazing way for me to connect with my mind and my body.

The Working-In program is an excellent opportunity to challenge and motivate myself as part of a community to develop a lasting healthy lifestyle beyond my yoga practice.

I love the idea that it is encompassing health and fitness in a wholistic way; looking after strength, cardio, stretching, meditation and nutrition.

My biggest challenge will be to start incorporating running into my routine, but already the other members in the program have been so encouraging and welcoming.

As a proud local, it also makes me happy to be part of something in our own neighborhood. And I am loving the discount and deals at places like SCOOP and Stay Grounded!
