IGTV Tool Reviews

I love gear. I’m constantly trying out new shoes, tools, supplements, recipes and products that might support my growth, healing or performance. While I’ve made a concerted effort to curb unnecessary spending, I do still value functional design, aesthetic consideration and my own experience. On our IGTV I’ve begun a series of ‘Tool Reviews’ that will showcase a specific product and my experience using it. The first tool highlighted was the Nike Zoom Pegasus Turbo 2, and soon I’ll be sharing my review of District Vision’s Koharu running sunglasses | Link

CHEK Holistic Life Coach Course

We’re very excited to partner with the CHEK Institute for the month of May for a special offer on their Holistic Life Coach Level 1 online course. It’s the first program I took at the CHEK Institute, before I began working with Paul Chek myself, and it was seriously eye opening and practical for the awareness I gained and the tools I learned to use for my own health and well-being. The program is a great starting place for coaches, but it's really designed for individuals looking to take responsibility for their lives and develop the skills to be more deeply in touch with ourselves.

For May you can use the code ‘intothewell’ to get $100 off the online program. Please feel free to email with any questions about the program too, I can’t say enough about the foundational learning it gave me to take huge strides towards feeling and living better each day | Link

Most of these terms translate as something close to “tie and dye.” It’s plausible that the very first iterations of tie-dye sprung up independently throughout different cultures as happy accidents when someone forgot to stir their dye bath. Over time the technique developed and certain cultures became renowned for their splendid resist-dyed textiles and garments.

How To Get Up by Joe DiStefano

Kettlebells have been building momentum in the exercise world for decades, but with the explosion of the home gym during isolation times, we need to search out trustworthy resources to help teach us how to move from home. Joe DiStefano is the founder of Runga, a beautiful workshop and retreat organization for well-being. He has years of experience, and he loves the kettlebell. On his blog he’s provides a 3-part series about the ‘Get Up’, including the history, and a step by step guide for how to properly get up, in his opinion, “the #1 exercise you should be doing” | Link

Nike Training: Finding Your Why

Nike’s ‘Trained’ Podcast features a variety of athletes speaking about how they train, how they recover and the practices that keep them at the top of their game. One of the episodes thats stuck out to me however, featured Simon Sinek who’s well-known for his TEDTalk and book, Start with Why: How Great Leaders Inspire Everyone to Take Action. Applying the question of ‘Why?’ to our training is a great idea, and has potential to make a huge difference in our progress and success in all areas of life | Link
