Re-establish Your Mind-Body-Spirit Connection with Instructor and Yogi, Mike Casey

Please join us in welcoming our newest YOUnique Health team member, Mike Casey!

Mike is a flooring contractor by trade and a yogi by choice. Currently, Mike teaches Hot Yoga, Vinyasa, Yin Yoga and Broga classes while still maintaining a daily practice. Divorce drew him to yoga, but the benefits are what encourage him to continue practicing yoga on and off the mat.

Four years into his personal practice, the natural progression was to attend teacher training with Suddha Weixler at the Chicago Yoga Center. Mike is currently a 200RYT and he started teaching in 2013. At fifty years old, he says that he is in the best place he’s ever been in his life. His mantra is: “Through yoga we re-establish the mind–body–spirit connection, allowing us to live more fully in the present.” 

As a father of three, Mike is adamant about being physically, mentally, and spiritually fit for the future. The strategies he learns while practicing yoga help decrease stress and bring him peace. Whether you are a first-timer or a life-timer, Mike invites students to join him on this journey.

Stop in and join Mike on Sunday’s at 8:15 or 9:30 a.m.

Namaste, -The YOUnique Health Team 

A Love Letter from Jess & Random Acts of Kindness

Lovelies, Gents!

It's one of my favorite months of the year! February is a love month, and it's a reminder for us to tell the people we care about that we love them. As I reflect on the past six months since opening the doors of YOUnique Health, I am so thankful and filled with love because of the beautiful people that have come into my life. As my heart overflows with the love that I feel, I am reminded by the many people in the world who may not be so blessed, and that is what motivates me each and every day. Spreading happiness to those who need it most is what makes me happy!   

When I opened YOUnique Health, I set out to build community within our small corner of the world by creating a space that brings people together as they journey through life. A yoga, wellness and nutrition center, YOUnique has become more than a studio; it is a gathering place for anyone who is willing to create space in their life to be their best self. Over these past few months, I have watched old friends reunite, new friendships blossom and students transform their lives in a way that I can hardly explain. This energy and love that thrives in our small space enlightens me and inspires me to continue to share this with our community and loved ones. So, I'm inviting everyone to join me in celebrating Hearth Month by carrying out random acts of kindness. We have the power to make the world a beautiful place! 

Here's how it works: Carry out a random act of kindness and share it on our YOUnique Health Facebook page with the hashtag #YouniqueKindness, and we'll continue spreading the love by sharing our stories. Your act of kindness might inspire others to carry out their own act. So, share your stories, big and small - they all make a difference. Help someone carry their groceries, share a smile, hold the door open. We have the power to make the world a beautiful place!

Love to all! ~Jess
