July at Ompractice
Published 6/30/2026
Welcome to July!
July is peak summer - travel, family time, longer evenings, and for many of us, a calendar that fills up fast. It is also a month where wellness can quietly slip down the priority list.
Our Monthly Challenge in July is our annual Self Care Summer Challenge
With the hustle of summer, it is easy to forget to care for the most important part of the season: you. This challenge is your chance to slow down, check in, and give yourself a little time to feel good.
Special Classes on Ompractice in July
