VIP!

 

RUB.

Lithe Instructor, Tif Young (she owns On The Spot Wellness) will be at Lithe Rittenhouse today giving little complimentary mini chair Melts from 4pm until 7:15 pm. She'll have her hands, the balls and the stick! 

There is really nothing quite like having an instructor who is a massage therapist-she knows your body AND your workout. She knows exactly where we have the most lactic acid buildup and connective tissue issues due to Lithing and can undo a lot of "doing" so that you can work deeper into the muscles that you should be using so that you get the best results from Lithe. 

I don't want to hear about hamstrings, backs, necks and hip flexors tonight...Go see Tif before or after class and work it out {for free!}.  Seriously, you should take advantage of this (Tif, her expertise and Melt)...You all really need it!

SLIM & SLAMMIN'

It's "10" time again!  4 weeks.  10 classes.  750 minutes to a new (or old) you come January 31st!

Apple, pear or tall drink of water?  No matter what you resemble, you gotta learn to love your shape. Haven't been Lithing in a while?  Maybe you need a good Lithe "10" to motivate you and whip you back into your best shape and workout schedule (yes, the much talked about meal planning is included)! 

At Lithe, we believe in working out, eating well and learning to accept our own strengths and weaknesses while making small but effective changes to motivate you for a fit, hip and healthier life. 

Remember, we won't propose radical changes in behavior (lose 10 pounds in two weeks by eliminating carbohydrates of suddenly Lithing 7 days a week). It's unhealthy, unrealistic, and will cause us to revert to our "normal" eating and exercise habits after a lot of hard work, only to regain lost weight and get really frustrated. 

With the Lithe "10" approach, daily habits are the key to weight maintenance and long-term success.  We'll tweak, change, and replace some of your unhealthful food and fitness habits to gradually redefine your own personal "normal" to a healthier, slim, and much better you. 

You know what the best thing about it is?  When you're on schedule and are eating right, sleeping enough, and being physically active — when your everyday habits are in line — you send your body consistent messages and you just feel and look better!  I'm excited to get the Lithe 10 schedule up for January & February...I'll be posting soon-stay tuned!

OM GIRL!

Om Girl's new holiday line just arrived at Lithe Rittenhouse (It will also be available at Northern Liberties in just a few days)!   It's easy breezy, organic, really comfortable, unique, super soft (think Rachel Pally), flattering and really transforms from studio to street. 

Last night, I taught a few classes in the harem pants, a black teacher tank and the meditation wrap and I quickly changed my shoes and was off to dinner.  I especially love the layering tanks and the "denim" collection. See that belted romper on the right?  That's the Nomad Pant pulled up and worn as a jumper! 

Here are just a few images of what we are carrying (not necessarily in these colors).

ECO & VERT.

 

Some little products that we Lithe girls love.  They're green and good for you:  

Shabd rust tie-dyed body suit.

I find that Dr. Sagers OUCHY Boo-Boo Gel is perfect for dark under-eye circles, acne redness & Botox bruises...without the chemicals.  

Balm Balm foot balm really smoothes dry, barre-addicted feet.  

Brush your skin- I adore the small privately owned farm products from OM of NM-The tangerine and lavender salt rub goes great with your cleanse! 

Organic Priti non-toxic nail polish. 

Rich Hippie organic perfumes. 

Nature Girl She Dreams In Green Blue Chamomile organic bath salts before bedtime.   

Arcona berry fruit bar (stays neat and clean in the jar) is the best soap for sweaty, post-Lithe skin.  

Honore des Pres bohemian-chic scents won't offend on or off the mat.

FLOORED!

Everyone is loving Floored!  We've gotten more than a few love notes about it.  From a long-time Lither':

Hi Lauren,

I went to Floored at Northern Liberties on Saturday a.m. with Tiffany.  I had to send you a quick email to let you know that I am totally FLOORED!!!  I am so sore in the area between my rib cage and hips, I actually feel like I was in a fight and someone kicked me in my sides, it hurts even when I laugh.  My lower abs are actually burning, and we're not even going to talk about the legs. Thanks for another great addition to Lithe. 

I know where I will be spending my Saturdays mornings this winter!
