Tara Stiles is a yoga expert and influencer. She shares a lot of content promoting softness on Instagram. Recently, she advertised a “7 Days of Softness” app challenge on her account. Stiles captioned a post, “Softness isn't a weakness, it's the most essential element of your strength. 7 Days of Softness is ready for you on the Strala Yoga app, in addition to our new practices every day. And for fun, it's all fun really, I'll be knitting a hat for a "winner" because if you know me, you know I love to knit hats and give them away. It's a joy. Big hugs and do your practice, love, Tara.”
She Does Yoga
Yoga is the main thing that Stiles does to keep herself in shape. The Mayo Clinic states that it has a lot of health benefits. “When people think of yoga, most people think of the physical poses or stretching when in fact yoga has many tools to offer for healing body, mind and spirit. The tools of yoga include physical poses, breathing practices, meditation practices, hand gestures and a disciplined lifestyle of cultivating healthy habits. A general yoga class can ease your everyday aches and pains, and release stress. Yoga therapy goes further because a yoga therapist works with you to address your specific needs and goals while respecting any limitations you may be experiencing.”
She Doesn't Stress Over Things
Stiles doesn’t believe in stressing over things she can’t control. She shared her exercise for letting go of these feelings in this Instagram video. Stiles captioned it, “When you feel like you need to control the whole universe or everything is going to fall apart, do this practice. It works every time. I’m here in Chicago for my good friend @avantikumarsingh book launch for the Longevity Formula. I’m leading a little softness yoga class today and moderating her book event tomorrow. This practice brings me back to center every time. Teach your friends and family too. Great for holiday gatherings.”
She Takes Care of Her Skin
Stiles makes sure to take care of her skin. She shared some of her favorite products in this Instagram video. “Making this reel took 10383034 times longer than the actual routine. It’s easy and effective I promise 😛Favorite products: @eirnyc face oil is my favorite. They are gifting us FREE face oil with any purchase. Use code STRALA24. @carmindybeauty is my girl from way back and her line is so great for all your makeup needs. She invented the #5minuteface and is the queen of natural beauty. @irisandromeo for tinted sunscreen and all things ease and glow. @jonesroadbeauty for more glow and much needed moisture.”
She Cares for Herself
Stiles is a big believer in caring for herself. She talked about the benefits of doing this in the caption of this Instagram post. “Something magical happens when you practice noticing how you feel and responding to yourself with care, as the main part of your practice. Space opens up for you to be comfortable with yourself. Space opens up for you to be at ease with yourself. Space opens up for you to feel more like yourself, while with yourself and around others. This is magic and creates more magic when you open yourself to those around you. You start to notice differences in yourself and others as beautiful, interesting and a place of connection. Imbalanced tendencies to conform to whatever thing of the moment does not exist here. You are celebrated for being the real you.”
She Uses Weights
Stiles likes to use weights to workout. She shared some of her favorite yoga exercises with weights in this Instagram video. Stiles captioned it, “Weights with ease ✨ I’ve been doing yoga -> weights -> yoga twice a week with on the Strala Yoga app for a few months now, in addition to our daily yoga practice. Here are a few dramatic things I’ve noticed. For those practicing along or adding weights in, what have you noticed? And for those who haven’t added weights yet, grab your soup cans, 5, 10 or 15 pounds. Use what you got handy!”
