During the month of March, we’re looking to raise awareness of how you can take better care of yourself during the busy conference/award season. With the JUNO’s upon us, we thought it would be a great time to do a little recap on the topics we’ve covered within the past year, and highlight a few of the key elements we think are essential to prioritizing your time when balancing a busy schedule.
- Getting Proper Rest & Nutrition on the Road
- How To Keep A Fit Body & Mind On The Road
- Three Tools to Help You Start Meditating
- When We Burn Out
- Breaking the Mental Health Stigma in the Music Industry
We are also excited to partner with The JUNO Awards and Fit On Tour to offer the music community complimentary fitness classes to keep health & fitness top of mind during your stay in Saskatoon!
