10 Minute Live with Alane - Saturday (and Wednesday!)


Dear Reader,

All August, we have been doing just 10 squats a day to build strength, resilience, and give our nervous systems a little reset.

This Saturday, you’re invited to join us for our final 10-minute LIVE squat session! No catching up, no equipment, no pressure. Just show up and give me 10!

And 10 minutes together isn’t ending with August!

Starting Wednesday, September 2, I’m launching Wednesday Drop-in, a 10-minute LIVE session every Wednesday, 9am Pacific, Noon Eastern, Evening Europe.

A little time to check in, connect, reset, and start your day together.

Final Live Squat Session: Saturday, August 29
First Wednesday Drop-in: Wednesday, September 2

See you there!
Alane

PS
It's only 10 minutes, so be on time if you want to join! Lots of people have been signing in long after we have finished. Come on over and say hello, check in, ask a question, or ask for support. I'll be there.
