Mind & Motion

It was such an honor to lead the 10 for 10 Challenge with @lovewell.earth and @teresapalmer ✨

I hope this little challenge helped you initiate rituals of self-care including a pilates mat practice.

A little bit everyday goes a long way. Finding just 10 minutes on the mat can change how you experience your body.

Challengers - be on the lookout for an exclusive offer from Mind & Motion.

I’d love to continue your pilates mat practice together into the future. ✨

I just want to take a moment to recognize the heaviness in my heart over the massacre in Uvalde, Texas yesterday. Hearing about yet another US mass shooting, and this one involving children, permeates my emotional being.

I have a lot to say about it. But here is what I’ll say to you:

If hearing about this awful tragedy has brought you to a place of despair, moving on the mat may deliver some tiny piece of resolve. Allow all of the feelings to arise. They will form a picture of how to move forward.

As a Movement Specialist, my desire to help all of those feelings move through you so that they don’t get stuck in your body.

US Government: we need to have a different conversation.

Our challenge with @lovewell.earth has begun. Because our challenge is GLOBAL, Australia has already begun day 1. USA: your first email will be delivered when you wake tomorrow!

The Day 1 workout is the perfect early morning stretch routine. It’s full of moves that feel good!!!

If you’ve joined us for the challenge, let me know how this first mat class feels.

There’s still time to join us for the Challenge. We will be here for the next 10 days!

Join @teresapalmer and I as we go LIVE here on IG tomorrow (Monday) at 10:30am PST.

I will talk a little bit on the history of Pilates but also why I think we should all be getting on the floor daily.

Head to my stories to set a reminder 😍

See you soon!!!!

We are putting the finishing touches on our big announcement for tomorrow…

But here’s a hint: we will all be in it together for 10 days straight. Yes, pilates is part of the announcement as well as @lovewell.earth !!!!!

Details coming tomorrow!!!

Which emotions are welling up in you today?

I imagine many of us are celebrating, mourning, or somewhere in between. No matter what today's holiday brings, one thing is certain: to be mothered is to be nurtured and that is something we all deserve.

I’m so blessed to spend the day with both my mama and my daughter. I hope today brings you blessings as well! 💕

This week on the Journal I discuss how we make pilates personalized on the virtual studio. Link in my profile.

In honor of International Woman’s Day, and my daughter, Henrietta’s 8th birthday, I want to recognize the women who need it most right now.

100% of new sales on the virtual studio will go to @urgentactionfund from now until Friday March 11th.

If you’ve been wanting to try the studio, now is a great time to sign up. You will still get the 7 day free trial and then your first month’s payment will go directly to support the women of Ukraine.

UAK is a feminist and trans activist nonprofit and is supporting women in Ukraine who need support with emergency evacuations and relocations and increasing shelter capacities for women and children.

Women! We are survivors, nurturers, and propagators of life. Let’s embrace, hold and support one another.

It was really wonderful starting 2022, reconnecting with and meeting new Mind & Motion members near and far. I’ve zoomed with fellow LA locals and virtual members in the UK and Germany! Mind & Motion is now global, people! 😊
 
I’ve been teaching for over 20 years which means… I’m older – lol. Part of what keeps me engaged and in this field is that I love having conversations with you, my clients. I like talking about the body and mind. I like identifying and understanding patterns. I love problem solving! Sometimes the conversations we undertake are intimate and honest. Sometimes it’s an unpacking of the subconscious and sometimes we figure out how to get your body feeling better. Just moving is an easy, healthy way to lower defenses, it helps new thoughts develop and encourages feelings to arise. 
 
When I’m filming, I imagine the conversation that is transpiring between us. I’m filled with the possibilities of what you may be experiencing while you move through the virtual session. 
 
Whether we are meeting in person in the LA studio or virtually through the website let’s continue the conversation. Drop me a line. I look forward to hearing from you. Let me know if you have questions about the workouts or if you need a little guidance. ✨

In health,
