Meditation and Mindfulness
Coach Stacey discusses RESET Goals with Meditation
StrongSpirit work or mindfulness on theWell.com has more great resources on Meditation and More! Tip: Guided Meditations that work through Audio Clips are an easy way to meditate. The guided imagery, music and words ease you and using just your headphones gives you the ability to fully tune in. You can close your eyes, lay down, and tune into your breath and the sounds. Try this one below or others on theWell.com:
Around Our Y!



How is our Team at the Lancaster Family YMCA eating this week to REFRESH?


Jenn Y's Roasted Dinner

A true one pan meal- after a long day Jenn roasts sweet potatoes, broccoli and chicken. Top it off with with a small amount of olive oil, salt and pepper and she is good to go!
Kelly's Smoothie Bowl

Kelly from our City Center Welcome Desk enjoyed this smoothie bowl on Friday! She mixed 1/3 cup plain Greek yogurt, 1 cup of spinach, 1/4 cup of orange juice, 1 cup frozen fruit (raspberries, blackberries, strawberries, blueberries), chia seeds and topped it all off with granola. Looks like an amazing breakfast!
Jessie R.'s Fresh Dinner

A big pile of nutritional yeast atop of arugula is the perfect backdrop for fermented beets! Jessie can't get enough vegan sour cream with her steamed veggies in tomato sauce. Tip: Veggies are SUPER easy to microwave and top with your favs!
Work Out Of The Day
Sunday
Today take it outside for a nature walk. It can be down your street, at the park, or through the town. Look for items that are rediscovered as the snow melts, note how much later the sun is going down, and breath in the fresh and chilly air while we still have it. Envelope yourself into the end of winter experience.
Flow
Start in Down Dog- an inverted "V" shape. Use your belly to roll out to a high plank and hold. Slowly bend the elbows, keeping them in close to the ribs to a low push up. Begin to paint the chin and chest into upward dog shape to stretch the frontal body. Use your belly to pull back to downward facing dog.
Add On! Try taking a breath with each movement!
Music to Motivate!
CELEBRATE!

Use this playlist for your workout or afterwards to celebrate your hard work.

Weekly Devotional
There's A Reason ...
by Erika Helwig, Wellness Coordinator
Bob Hoffman Dover and York Branch YMCAs


1 Peter 1:7 KJV         

“That the trial of your faith, being much more precious than of gold that perisheth, though it be tried with fire, might be found unto praise and honour and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ.” 



God permits trials to assail His people, that by their constancy and obedience, they themselves may be spiritually enriched, and that their example may be a source of strength to others.
