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.

It's an acquired taste.

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.

In this email: My trip to the International Fascia Research Congress, where I studied this year & upcoming eventsRead time: 3 mins TOMORROW, Dec 19 I’m rather amazed by how many years I yanked my pelvis to its extremes before understanding how it’s designed to move. 15 years ago. The days before I knew where my hip sockets actually were, and before some career-changing hip+lower back ouchies.

I’m about to show you something no one has seen before: Inside my Instagram saves. Spin, static, and "I could try that with my pants on" pole videos are all kept separate. I save IG videos into folders so that when I need to show a student something, or the rare mood strikes to try some of these skills on myself, I know exactly where to find it.Plus, training gets confusing when acrobatic videos are mixed in with my #calligraphytips and #chilicrisprecipe saves 🌢️ Thinking back, studying other...
