Four Wellness Instagram Accounts to Follow

For those who just can’t quit Instagram (hey, that’s me, too!) and are always looking for the best accounts to follow and love, look no further. Below are some of some of our favorites that we always double click on.

Yoga to the People

Yoga to the People is almost too good to be true. It’s a donation based yoga studio with locations spread across New York City, as well as studios in California and Arizona. Their Instagram account provides details on regularly scheduled classes as well as special events. They even throw some motivation in there as well. Most importantly, their classes are pretty amazing.

The Fit Foodie Mama

Annmarie‘s account is all sorts of useful. She creates a ton of healthy recipes (like this one, which was even better than the “real” thing), and provides workout motivation (she’s a runner AND a DVRT master instructor!). She also opens up about her own health struggles, which will motivate anyone to get up off the couch and work through whatever difficulty is in your way. As an extra bonus, she also hosts a podcast called Runners Who Wine, in case all that Instagram awesomeness just isn’t enough.

Psycom

This account is both inspirational and motivational as it’s full of all kinds of mental health tips and reassurances that you aren’t in this alone. It’s a community of people who recognize that we all struggle sometimes, and that the stigma surrounding mental health treatment needs to end ASAP. It also features real life stories so the masses can learn from others’ experiences.

Greatist

Who HASN’T heard of Greatist by now, right?! If you haven’t, now’s the time to check out this wellness website that covers all things health. Their Instagram account provides motivation, laughs, and wise words all geared towards helping you live your healthiest life. They also get that life is all about the balance, frequently using the term healthy-ish to describe the reality of so many of us who want to hit the gym, but also hit the cookies.

 

Viva Wellness

I threw in a bonus one, because OF COURSE you should also be following Viva Wellness! Our Instagram account is full of inspiration to get you through the day, tips for healthy habits in ALL areas of your life, and those cute animal photos we all love. Sometimes, we even throw in a pizza. While you’re scrolling through all of these great accounts, give us a follow too!

Author: Rachel

Rachel is a licensed therapist and co-founder of Viva Wellness. She gets most of her inspiration for the blog while on the run, and if you ever need to find her, she’s probably in Central Park. If she’s not running, you’ll find her planning the next time she’s going to eat, exploring all things wellness in NYC, or raising her stress level by watching her sports teams.

  • What happens when you feel like you don't look like the usual gym bodies? You learn to define your own meaning of health and wellness, and that's exactly what @rachelgersten and @jorelcaraballo did.

For Rachel, running after being told that she couldn't meant not only taking control of her own health and wellbeing, but also providing a sense of accomplishment that she had been craving. For Jor-El, it meant incorporating walks, getting active with his dog Nomi and listening to what made him feel good physically.

Head over to our podcast as we discuss our views on wellness and how we got there in the latest podcast episode, Wellness Journeys. You'll hear how @rachelgersten came to refer to a certain fast-food joint as "the yuck place" and how @jorelcaraballo came to define his own meaning of health and wellness after he realized going to the gym to lift weights wasn't quite for him (you can guess that that quote was from him). Don't forget to subscribe so you can be notified of the latest episodes as soon as they come out, and leave us a review! #linkinbio

  • Go on, stop and smell the flowers. Sometimes you need some quiet moments to truly appreciate what's around you.

We all know the great feeling of having a few minutes to yourself, but did you know that it can also boost brain growth and improve your memory? Our friends at @helloworkwell explored some of the benefits of silence, and it's definitely worth taking a bit of time every day to yourself. Bonus points if it's a walk outside in #CentralPark (hello, spring!).

  • As we're trying to adjust to the new daylight hours (thank you, #DaylightSavingTime), @rachelgersten and @jorelcaraballo have a couple tips to make the transition easier: -Make sure to drink plenty of liquids. Avoid alcohol and caffeine starting in the late afternoon to help your body sleep smoothly.
-Try to still go to bed and wake up at the same time, even though the sunrise and sunset times are different.
-More daylight after work and (hopefully) warmer days means it's a great time to walk home a bit from work. Start slowly, especially if you haven't had a serious exercise regimen in the winter. It's a great time to play tourist in your own neighborhood, like @rachelgersten did when snapping this shot in Washington Square Park.
