Meet your Longevity Organ, Trauma-Sensitive Yoga, Sound and Breath Journey this September

MOVE FASTER & STRONGER
Technique, rhythm, timing, tempo…
what should be moving…
what should be relaxed…
what should be contracting…
is all critically important to moving better.

Train across multiple range of motions

Paying attention to your movement quality is the fastest way for most people to actually move faster and move stronger. 💪🫶

— Dr. Andy Galpin Human Performance Scientist & professor at California State University, Fullerton

Who is knocking on your door today? 🔥♥️🌏

There is ecstasy in paying attention.—Anne Lamott

POSTURE MATTER
It is NOT the load that breaks you…
it is how you carry it.

Stability starts with breath, posture and feet.

You can start increasing stability right now…

💪Stop the slouch
💪Breath wide and full into the belly
💪Balance weight evenly into the 4 corners of your feet

Check out Cindy’s stability classes at Blue Lotus every Mon, Wed, Fri morning.

TRX conditioning is suspension training that uses body weight exercises to develop strength, flexibility, balance, and core stability!

Join Scott every Tuesday and Wednesday 💪

Sound Bath Experiences—This session:

In this soundbath experience, we will invoke the earth 🌏 energy with light yoga, nidra, breath and of course sound.

This session is for your parasympathetic nervous system.

Studies show when you activate your parasympathetic nervous system “regularly”—Sleep improves, cognitive function improves mood improves, digestion improves and inflammation is reduced. 🤙

Sound Bathing is a form of “Vibrational Medicine” and is based on the scientific principles that all matter, and most importantly, the cells in your body, vibrate to a precise frequency when healthy and to a dissonant frequency when in dis-ease.

Gong and quartz crystal bowls create resonant vibration, rhythms and tones that balance brain hemispheres, stress levels, and even tension in body tissues and cells.

This sound bath brings together, Yoga Nutra sound, and the water element.

This 75 minute sound bath is intended to help activate the parasympathetic nervous system.

This restful state supports the body’s natural healing processes, enhances immune function, and contributes to overall mental and physical well-being.

Got Mud??

No Mud…No Lotus-
Thich Nhat Hanh

We are reminded that without the mud, the beautiful lotus flower could not grow.

MOBILITY Training with Cindy

Relieve Tension…Move Better…Improve Posture…

Join Cindy —Roll and Reset
Monday and Fridays 7:30am

These days, mobility training is sometimes about muscle relaxation, while at other times, it’s about releasing fascia, the net-like covering that surrounds and is woven into nearly every one of your body’s structures, from bones and muscles to organs and glands.

And this is where self-myofascial release techniques (SMR) come in. Self-myofasical release techniques are things you can do for yourself that make changes in the coverings around muscles and other soft tissue.

You will feel better… move better… and progress towards your fitness goals.. 👍💪

Happy “Double Rainbow” Aloha Friday🌈🌈👑

If you see a double rainbow, consider it as a good omen…a message from beyond.

Mountain pose
When was the last time you checked your mountain pose?
You can use a broom, swiffer, paddle, golf club
Lean against the pole
Check in with your spinal curves.

Your low back, and neck should not be on the pool.
Line up —Sacrum, upper thoracic (shoulder blade area) and back of head

Next —take a few steps—with this wonderful alignment—breathe 🥰

Your organs will be happy you did.
