Squat . Pray . Heal Ya-Nais Thomas
I'm Ya-Nais Thomas, and I founded Squat . Pray . Heal on the belief that nurturing your body, spirit, and mind is the key to a balanced and enriched life.
This philosophy was born from my own experiences during a particularly tough time when I found solace and strength in writing my prayers, committing to my workouts, and documenting my journey.
It's this personal transformation that inspired me to create a space where others could also find healing and empowerment.
Squat Pray Heal isn't just a fitness regimen; it's a personal commitment to growth in all aspects of life. I know firsthand that the road to healing is not linear, which is why I've developed a program that supports you in strengthening your body, deepening your faith, and healing your spirit, all intertwined."
