​
I've helped people unlock movement skills in 4 minutes that they'd struggled with for 10 years.
​
(not an exaggeration.)
​
they thought they needed more strength and flexibility.
​

what they actually needed was to update what was happening in their minds as they tried.
​

​
​here's what I believe on this late April day in the year 2026:
​​
​Movement improvement happens faster when what's going on in your head supports the change you're trying to make.
​

cue the flying hand gestures!

​
On Sunday, we'll be taking it further as part of the Circus Science Symposium. ​
​
I'll be talking about my experience with gnarly injuries that redirected my career during the Artist Perspective on Returning to Training panel.
​

Even if you don't identify as a "circus person", check out the talks on hypermobility, tendon health, and flexibility science 👀

📱 by the way...​
​
last week in Austin I got to play with an iPhone 1, which came out in 2007.
​
it was about the size of a deck of cards 🃏 (cute)​
​
think about how many bajillions of phone/tech updates we've been through since then.
​
how does that compare to the number of intentional body map updates we've had?
​
are you still rocking your 2007 maps somewhere?

Tending to Your Womb by Dr. Anietie Ukpe-Wallace just came out this week, and I had the honor of reading an advance copy.

the book opens with a guided self-touch examination 🙌🏼
and gracefully moves through lesser-known reproductive health issues and global pelvic care traditions.
​

I finished the book with a better understanding of bladders and the perimenopausal phase of life I'm currently dancing in 🤠
​
join me in celebrating this very personal, heart-centered release by a fellow mover and doctor of physical therapy 🫶🏼

​📚 three other books I've been snuggling with:​
​
🧠 The Inner Dialogue: How Language Builds the Mind* by Brian Dale Babiak MD ​
​
most certainly influencing aspects of this email...
​
🦶🏼 What the Foot* by Gary Ward​
​
I'm currently in Gary Ward's phase three Anatomy in Motion training, and my understanding of human feet (and movement overall) has been put in a blender and handed back to me as a smoothie. I'm dribbling like an infant. love it.
​
🙊 The Storytelling Animal* by Jonathan Gottschall​
