“You are only as young as your spine is flexible” - Joseph Pilates.

A flexible spine and supple body promote the free flow of physical, mental and emotional energy! … AND a more regulated nervous system 🙂.

Adults need to play too! A daily dose of play can make life more meaningful and enjoyable. Nothing like an hour of creative movement followed by a little upside down time to restore vitality. I sure am lucky to work in this space and spend time with wonderful people!

Just a post to say how much I appreciate, respect, and adore you all. It is a true honor to wake up each day, and enter a space in which I feel inspired and uplifted by interactions with the most wonderful people. I love the work I do, and the people I am fortunate to work with. Keep showing up and doing great work, you are fabulous!

Introducing the “Snuggle footwork series.”

"A lot of us associate our neck and back pain with spending hours hunched over our devices. We also know that good posture and core strength can help prevent those aches and pains. But researchers say it can also help us feel less stress."

Read on or listen to learn more about the connection between strengthening core muscles and stress reduction! There's both a neural connection and a biological basis!

Stressed out? It might not just be in your head. How your muscles affect your mood : TED Radio Hour In part four: host Manoush Zomorodi explores the connection between our posture and our mood. A lot of us associate our neck and back pain with spending hours hunched over our phones and laptops. But what if that hunched posture is also making us feel tired, stressed, and anxious?

Today I was able to enjoy my lunch mindfully…

Mindful eating is a practice of sitting and intentionally eating and enjoying your food. Mindful eating can mean observing and admiring your food, observing what or who is around you, giving thanks for who and what contributed to getting your food on your plate, giving thanks for the benefits you will receive, slowly chewing and swallowing, breathing slowly, noticing and savoring the taste, and feeling the nourishment rush to your cells. It can also mean noticing that your food doesn’t make you feel so good. Mindful eating is a practice of slowing down.

So often we eat while rushed, stressed, anxious, or distracted (screens/driving/multitasking!). When we do this, we do not absorb our nutrients properly, and digestive and energetic imbalances can occur. We do not give ourselves the opportunity to receive the nourishment we need, and to truly enjoy the experience of eating.

I admit that as a parent, many of my meals have become rushed or on the go, with little mindfulness. I am bringing this practice back into my life as much as possible, and you can too!

Try to eat at least one meal of the day with mindful intention and an attitude of gratitude. We can all come up with excuses, but the reality is, you can make this practice part of your busy life… and you may just find it sends positive ripples throughout your day, and to those around you.

How you do anything is how you do everything….
