Sjana Elise Earp is a well-known fitness trainer and influencer who often shares her journey of physical and mental wellness with her large following on Instagram. Recently, she posted a yoga video accompanied by a heartfelt message reflecting on the lessons she’s learning and how she’s growing as a person. Earp wrote in her post, “It’s time to stop resisting the abundant dance of life, and F L O W.” She believes in balancing self-care, mindfulness, and fitness as key components of her healthy lifestyle. Here’s how she maintains her well-being, inside and out.
In her post’s caption, Earp talked about the importance of focusing on herself. “Knowing your ‘why’ is essential. If I’m doing something to please someone else, then I’m neglecting my own needs. When I say yes to someone else, I’m ultimately saying no to myself. And understanding and acknowledging the dissonance between those points, opens up a whole chamber of wounds and trauma, but also makes space for so much LOVE!”
Earp also wrote in her post’s caption that she is taking care of her mental health. “I’m just now realising that I’m terrified of being alone with my own mind and haven’t yet learned to trust myself to make healthy decisions without external accountability. I no longer want to self isolate and indulge in those same self sabotaging behaviours and limiting thought patterns so I’m leaning in to practices like yoga and other wellness practices to teach myself how to be kinder to myself and how to simply BE.”
Earp revealed in this Instagram post that she likes to go to saunas. She captioned it, “One of my go-to practices while traveling is definitely saunas!! We try to hit a sauna at least every other day while here in Bali and I feel so so good for it! 🤗🔥 We went and hung out at the @theasamaia for a contrast session of sauna, ice plunge and hot tub after our workout and the whole set up here is seriously DREAMY!! Bear and I kept saying how we can’t wait to create a recovery sanctuary like this in our own home one day!”
As you can see in her recent Instagram post, Earp loves to practice yoga to keep herself in shape. The British Heart Foundation states that yoga has a lot of health benefits. “Yoga has been shown to help with anxiety, stress and depression, conditions which affect many people who have suffered a cardiac event or have undergone cardiac surgery. If you have a heart condition, regularly practicing yoga can be a way of helping to deal with stress and therefore helping you to cope with your condition. It can also help to increase feelings of wellbeing. Some people find it helps with depression.”
Earp revealed in this Instagram post’s caption that she likes to do Pilates to stay fit. The Houston Methodist states that Pilates is very beneficial. “Pilates is a type of exercise in which you perform a series of controlled movements that flow into one another with precision. As far as what muscles Pilates works, it’s technically considered a total body workout. In working the entire body, though, Pilates’ movements are primarily designed to target your core muscles, including your: Abdominal muscles. Hip muscles. Gluteal muscles. Lower and upper back muscles. Inner thigh muscles.”
