May is Women’s Health Awareness Month, and here at WeGym, we’re continuing our celebration of the voices and wisdom of the women who inspire us daily. These women are redefining wellness, not by chasing perfection (because let's be honest, who is?!), but by choosing progress, presence, and purpose. Everything that matters.
In this installment of our Women’s Health Spotlight series, we’re excited to share the perspective of Katie Babineau, CMO of Beyond Yoga. As a team, we LOVE Beyond Yoga! Partnering with them on styling our instructors for our app has been a dream. Katie's honest approach to movement, motherhood, and mindset reminds us that health isn’t a finish line—it’s a feeling.
At this moment in your life, what does being healthy mean to you?
To me, being healthy is all about balance. Letting myself intuitively lean into movement and rest when I need it. Letting myself enjoy a nice little treat and a fresh salad - progress over perfection.
What’s your top priority when it comes to your fitness routine or focus?
Shifting my mentality to focus on movement, however I can get that daily, whether it's chasing my toddlers around or a quick walking meeting. Taking the pressure off myself when it comes to my fitness routine has actually helped me move more frequently and with less stress.
What’s something you wish you learned earlier about women’s health?
Growing up a competitive athlete, I was used to a zero-sum mentality, but life is so much more fun to win together with the ones you love. This has been my biggest unlock in life and in health.
Who is a woman that inspires you to move your body?
My daughter Charlize! She's VERY active and has fun just moving her body any which way she can.
What helps you feel confident on tough days?
I always resort back to movement, music and connecting with those I love on down days. Helps re-set my mindset, mood and a good reminder of what matters.
Thank you Katie for reminding us the beauty in moving at our pace and the ability to give ourselves grace.
Here’s to doing wellness your own way!
