How do I know which sessions are for me?

When you first open Sanity & Self, we'll ask you how you feel, what you fancy, and recommend some sessions to match what you're going through to get you started.

You can always explore and discover all our content right from our home page. Or by clicking on the menu bar at the top you can search for sessions by keywords or browse by category.

Tap into any session to see a full description, check how many others listened to, and read their community ratings and reviews. Learn more about each self-care expert by tapping their photo to see their bio. Some sessions may show additional info – e.g. fitness sessions are labeled low, medium and high intensity.

And then there's our community tab, where you can get answers, advice, support and encouragement from other women who are also on their own self-care journey. Remember, we're in this with you... so if you're not sure about anything, just ask!

Do I need equipment to use Sanity & Self?

For many Sanity & Self sessions – like Breathing, Personal Growth, Relationships, Stretching, Bodyweight, etc. – all you need is your phone and the Sanity & Self app. We recommend using wireless earbuds for the best headphone experience, or listen from your phone or external speaker.

For some self-care sessions – like Journaling & Beauty – you may need some extra bits as well. If needed, you'll see them noted in the session description page.

For some fitness sessions – like Treadmill, Elliptical, Indoor Cycling, Dumbbell, etc. -- you'll also need access to the respective fitness equipment at your home, office, gym, hotel or elsewhere. The session description will note which equipment you need. We also recommend you have water, a towel, a mat and appropriate clothes, and shoes for all fitness sessions. And please consult your physician before embarking on any new fitness routine.

Where did my favorite Moov Studio™ fitness classes go?

Fitness sessions which were previously in the Moov Studio app may now be found curated (and possibly renamed) under the "Energize" category in the Sanity & Self app.

How do I choose appropriate weights for dumbbell classes?

Weight selections will vary depending on a variety of factors:

• Type of dumbbell exercise
• Duration of exercise
• Number of reps/sets
• Individual fitness level and experience with weightlifting

We recommend having a variety of weights readily accessible so you can make adjustments during your workout. If you are brand new to dumbbells or returning to fitness after a break, consider using no weights for your first dumbbell class. Familiarize yourself with the movements, focus on good form, and develop muscle memory BEFORE introducing dumbbells. When you're ready, below are general guidelines to help you select the right weights for you.

What type of bike should I use indoor indoor cycling classes?

Our Indoor Cycling sessions are designed to be experienced on a standard Indoor Cycle Stationary Exercise Bike. We do NOT recommend using an Upright Bike or a Recumbent Bike, as there are important design differences that will worsen the riding experience and increase the risk of injury.
