In several stages, I learn to look at myself as I am, without judgement and cultivate gratitude for what my body allows me

unattainable standards dictated by society, I make peace with myself and learn to love myself for what I am.

away at the end of the sessions. I can equip myself with a folding treadmill or a connected fitness mirror for training like a
pro!
