Given all the anxiety and worry I've witnessed lately (heightened by the coronavirus), I thought I would create an meditation to address that. So please join me as we hike through the woods and find some peace. The video is on the fb page but also on You tube. You tube link to video:

I think most of us know the expression - If it ain’t broken, don’t fix it - but warning signs are important to heed. If you were driving a car, and the car started to grind or the change oil light came on, you’d take care of that. You wouldn’t wait until the brakes wore through and you couldn’t stop. It’s the same with the human body. [ 589 more words ]

So... I've been toying with the idea of making some 10 minute exercise videos. Most of my ideas include a Good morning Yoga series, Postpartum exercise (yoga based and eventually pilates based series). What would you want to see?

Patience is not my strong suit. Every day I ask myself to practice it and every day I lose it. Ok, I do have a 2 year old, but that’s just a magnifier to my personality. Most of the time, the repercussions aren’t much bigger than being mad at myself. In fitness though, patience can be critical to preventing injuries and recovering from injuries. [ 843 more words ]

Despite our share all society, there is still a sense of taboo when discussing the pelvic floor. Let’s pull back the curtain and talk about it. Men too. It’s not just a female issue. The secret to a strong core is good alignment, correct breathing, and a healthy pelvic floor. Picture a plastic water bottle flipped upside down with the cap still on. [ 423 more words ]

First comes the breath, then comes movement. Movement, like driving, is all about getting from point A to point B. Remember what it was like for you when you first learned how to drive. How did you feel? Were you nervous? Did you have to take time to adjust the mirrors, look around the car at where the buttons were? Did you have to minimize distractions, like turn the radio off?

Starfire Evolution Guided Exercise for Your Mind-Body Journey

Let’s say you go to a physical therapist for a knee injury. During the evaluation, the therapist will examine your current ability to do activities and measure your muscle strength. Afterwards, the therapist will write goals to guide and track your progress with therapy. If you go to a personal trainer, the trainer may do a similar thing based on what you expressed you desired, such as being able to lift 50 pounds. [ 962 more words ]

If you’ve ever been to a yoga class, you’ve probably heard about the importance of breathing and perhaps even experimented with different ways to breathe. If you’ve ever been to a Pilates class, managing the breath for The Hundreds might have felt like a challenge at first (regardless if you kept it long or pulsed on the count). Yet, if you go to a cardio class or out for a run, you might not bother to notice to how you are breathing other than “hard.” [ 857 more words ]
