Reader,

You might not want to get up right now.
​

You might not be in the mood to go outside or put on music.

But on the other side of a little wiggle break is:

β€œI needed that”.
​
​
​
I know, I know, very inconvenient of me to show up NOW while your hands are occupied with email deletion to remind you that:
​

⚑️ We feel enlivened when we let ourselves move.​
​
You don’t need to change clothes.
​
I’m not talking about β€œtraining” or β€œworking out”.
​

I’m saying:
​

πŸ’¦ Splash some cool water on your face
πŸͺ˜ Put on something with a strong beat

🫁 Draw in a breath that says, "Here I am"

πŸ‘ and Get your flesh MOVING
​
​

​
​
One songβ€”or some sips of fresh air β€”won’t β€œmess up your schedule.”
​

In this case, the shorter, the sweeter.

Challenge yourself to cherish it.​
​
And please, my dear, care not what it looks like.
​
When you let that worry go, you can begin to Flow.
​
If not now, soon. Ok?


⚽️ Wiggle/swing/play breaks help me be okay.

​
As a solo business owner and my 80-year-old mother's sole caretaker, portions of my day are spent navigating dialogues and duties that offer...
​
let's call them β€˜ psycho-spiritual challenges'.
​
​
So, here I am, fashion kettlebell in hand at 7:50 am on a Saturday, practicing joy before obligations begin.
​

πŸ‘€ But sometimes, I catch myself thinking:
​
​
β€œI can't move today. Too much work to do."
"Today drained me- I'll just take a sunset walk tomorrow."
​
​
​
In those moments, I've forgotten what my life has made abundantly clear:
​
I do need it.
​

Movement turns my light on.
​
Go.

Sometimes I need a nudge, too.

Here’s yours, my friend.

​Here’s a small collection of tracks that I put on when I want to shift into my bouncy self.

Passionate floor flowing.

Sip delicious prompts that invite you to rub yourself all over your floor.
It's an acquired taste.

​We did this a few weeks ago for the first time, and I LOVED it.

What the heck is it?

​
Part "finally get that reading done," part body time. A movement study hall!
​
You read whatever you want, and I help you retain and reframe through an embodied learning process that you won't find anywhere else.

πŸ’€ Attention Movement Nerds

​
​
If you want to have your mind expanded in the best of ways, join me for an immersive week at a cadaver dissection lab,
​Oct 28-Nov 1 in Colorado Springs.
​

You’ll get hands-on (and in) experience that takes your understanding of anatomy & physiology far beyond anything that textbooks, diagrams, and abstract memorization could offer.
​

This isn’t just a technical learning experienceβ€”it’s a tender, respectful, and surprisingly lively opportunity to see firsthand how the body is structured, moves, and responds.​
​

I've been a few times, and it remains one of the most eye-opening, valuable experiences of my life. My teaching is forever changed.

If you are on this list, you know someone who loves to smear themselves on the ground (hi.)This goes beyond being willing to lie on the floor.I'm talking bona fide enjoyment. πŸ₯― Ask a floor lover why they behave like a cream cheese being spread on a bagel. They might tell you, "It feels good."But how come sliding on the floor is such a yum for some? πŸ”₯ 1. Vibration pleasureβ†’ Feel it: Place your fingertips or nails on something right beside you.
