Super Hero: Lower Body Strength with Tara
You are a super hero. Be who you are.
Welcome to your Super Hero: Lower Body Strength 10-minute class, led by Strala founder Tara Stiles.
This is a 4-part series to uncover something very simple, and very true. You are a super hero. And, this is something you want to uncover, to be fully you.
There are a few things every super hero knows and embodies. A real hero knows how to be truly strong, while a pretend hero flexes and puts on a show of strength. A real hero knows how to be movable, while a pretend hero tries control every moment. A real hero knows how to be at ease, especially when things get tough, while a pretend hero depletes themselves by going to war with challenge before the challenge even begins.
This practice gives you a way to make these qualities real in your life. And along the way it uncovers who you truly are, who you are meant to be. A super hero in your whole self.
And of course if you're pregnant, and for everyone, please always check with your doctor first. It's helpful to get advice from a qualified professional who knows your particular history.
