Interview with Wellness Practitioner Abigail Mary Taugwalder

The best way to keep a balance is to make wellness your ritual, by starting your day with it, when the kids are still asleep. This is a good way to keep your balance because you start the days with a physical activity that brings a sense of personal accomplishment.

Committing to the morning practice brings you back to you, puts things into perspective, creates clarity and builds self-esteem as well as nurturing your body. It boosts my energy.

This is why I set up weekday morning classes, I call PJ Yoga, where you can just roll out of bed in PJs with a bedhead onto the mat. It is true that it feels good to show up as you are, without judgment, just you as you are. Sometimes it’s the hardest part for people to get up earlier or for women, to put themselves first, but once we realise the benefits of self-caring, everyone sticks to the new wellness rituals. I can see how my clients prosper just like I did.
