With spring marathons on the horizon, I want to hook you up with a new secret weapon: meditation. Hear me out, runner chicks… The science is there: meditation helps your systems to function more optimally. And, one of the best things about meditating is a little bit goes a long way — you don’t have to spend a ton of time to feel the difference.

This simple 6-minute meditation will help reconnect you with your most potent power source — your heart — so that you can more readily access that place when you run and race. It’s great to do it first thing to help set the tone for the day ahead, but fit it in whenever you can. Let me know how it goes!

Jasyoga has more videos coming soon — in the meantime subscribe to The Monday Reset, a weekly blog dedicated to balance (plus some other good juju)…
