Southside Booty Camp

Spring/Summer Quarter Start is April 20, 2026! Registration is now open for both returnee and first timer campers in both the 6-7am and 7:30-8:30am class times.

Please check out all the details here and let us know if you have any questions! www.southsideb***ycamp.com

Let's go together into whatever 2026 may bring... with strength, flexibility, endurance, and community! This is LAST CALL for First Timer camp registrations - as we start this Monday Jan 12 at Lakewood-Seward Park Community Club. We have two spaces left in the 6-7am and 4 spaces left in the 7:30-8:30am.

Note that we do still go outside for portions of the workouts if the weather cooperates for that fresh air benefit, otherwise we have the center to keep us warm and dry!

Our winter schedule:
--- Mon/Tues regular b***y camp holistic interval training workouts focused on core strength, body awareness, upper and lower body strength and cardio.
--- Wednesdays for winter are Yoga with our wonderful teacher Julia Hibarger.
--- Thursdays are 'roving' in Seward Park (cardio endurance focused, which you can add to your first timer schedule if you like once you have a good foundation with us).

Please check out our website (southsideb***ycamp.com) for all the details on first time camper registration... and just holler if you have any more questions. We look forward to meeting you at camp next week and we will support you step by step in your fitness journey!

Go team 2026, we got this, together. 💪💚

Sleep, it does a body good! Add a morning exercise habit in the early light and sleep gets easier too.

irregular sleep is just as bad as getting less sleep

Join us Jan 12 for our first time camper winter quarter start (returnees start Jan 5). We will be working some of these simple mobility patterns that are a great way to loosen and de stress throughout the day or get you going in the morning.
For our winter indoor camp times, I like to bring new material that will challenge and change you neurologically, rework and unravel the old patterns. Can’t wait to start this journey with you all soon!
If you have questions just holler. 4 spots left for first timers in each class! Go team 2026, we got this, together! 💪🏽🌈

Most people think practice has to be calm, peaceful, in nature. But real life doesn’t work that way. If you’re a parent, if you’ve got responsibilities, you know… there’s noise, distractions, people around. You don’t always have the luxury to walk away and find that “perfect spot.” So here’s the truth: -Just get it done where you are. -Even 5 minutes counts. -Progress always beats waiting. Don’t wait for that perfect moment. It might never come. Do what you can, when you can. Because doing something is always better than doing nothing. Stay consistent. Stay present. Your energy grows from showing up, not from waiting.

Fantastic work to inform our our winter quarter start at Lakewood Community Club in Jan 5. Looking forward to breathing better with you in 2026!

READ CAPTION This video touches on three key topics: SLEEP – BREATHING – DIAPHRAGM So let’s connect the dots.  Chest Breathing There’s nothing wrong with breathing into the chest if your belly is relaxed. But most people tense their abdominal muscles when they breathe this way. That tension blocks the diaphragm and disrupts the entire breathing mechanism. The Diaphragm The diaphragm is often misunderstood as just a breathing muscle. But it's also: • A postural stabiliser for your spine • A lymphatic pump stimulating the main lymph node under it • A circulator promoting blood flow to your internal organs • A respiratory regulator pulling air into the lower lungs where most oxygen exchange happens (most alveoli are in the lower branches) But the problem is that when you're stressed, the diaphragm locks up. Breathing shifts to the upper chest. The belly tenses. And all those vital functions from blood flow, lymphatic drainage, digestion, immunity get compromised. Now... how does this affect sleep? • Poor diaphragm function → poor oxygen exchange • Tight belly → reduced circulation and lymph flow • Chest breathing → sympathetic (stress) state dominance You might fall asleep… But the quality of sleep will suffer.  And poor sleep feeds back into poor breathing, poor recovery, and more stress. Most people carry the dysfunctions of their daily life into their sleep.  The solution isn’t just a better bedtime routine but building a better breathing and nervous system regulation throughout the day. Personally, I only sleep a few hours per night. Over decades of practice, I’ve learned how to optimize my breathing, stay mostly in parasympathetic dominance, and support my internal organ function throughout the day. As a result, I waste far less energy than most physically, mentally, and physiologically.  So when you get to that state of optimal internal state during the day I call it RELAXATION POWER, because you can still do all your intense activities but with much less strain and effort. Of course, Relaxation Power is a broader concept than I can't fully explain here. But those who’ve practiced with me live will know what I mean. #sleep #health #yoga
