Looking for a Christmas gift for someone who you love? 5 classes for $75 is a steal and Aligned Movement Studios is an amazing movement space for anyone.

Dealing with an injury? It's perfect for you!

Strength training is good for everyone, regardless of age or ability. It's one of the best routes to living a healthier and happier life.

Stepping foot into a gym is a huge success on its own, especially if you do it repeatedly.

You don't need to be strong or even know what you're doing. Jump on a treadmill, look at the instructions on some machines and give them a try, look at what others are doing and copy a few things.

It's hard work, but doing hard things regularly will make the rest of your life easier. There is no bad time to get started.

Look up!

As a society we spend a lot of time looking down at screens and if you want to be healthier and happier in your life, it can be as simple as the advice above

Go outside.
Look up and the world in front of you.
Inhale in through your nose.
Exhale out through your mouth.
Repeat throughout your day.

Start with small moments you build a practice of including in your day and then try to expand how much time you spend with your gaze up at the world in front of you.

Morning coffee + reading about Fascia on a beautiful day at .cafe

Fascia is not one thing, but many types of connective tissue which help to connect our organs, muscles, joints, nerves and create our physical form.

It's a network that communicates, transports nutrients and waste, transmits kinetic energy and has a big role in our perception of our body and the impact of that perception on pain and performance.

The last pic is a simple framework that comes from the book (2nd pic) and are some avenues for us to work to improve the health of our fascial system.

1) Feel It: Practice body awareness exercises focused on experiencing your body and it's movements
-Short daily posture scans, Pilates/Yoga, Mobility practices.

2) Mobility: Practice exercises focused on joint range of motion, stability and coordination between joints/muscles.
-Warmups, circuits/series within workouts, daily home practice.

3) Stretch: Practice stretching and isometric exercises.
-Throughout day as breaks or when feel the need.

4) Energy: Use some elastic/ballistic stretches in your warmups or throughout day. Spring, swing, bounce and/or jump.
-Warmups, plyo workouts, group classes, trampoline, home practice.

5) Release: Practice rolling or trigger point release work with foam rollers, balls or other tools.
-Nightly bedtime routine w/stretching, mobility, breathing and/or meditation .

You may be doing some or all of the above. Sometimes it's about building a routine, but we can also benefit from perspective to understand why we are doing it which helps to shape our experience of the practice and our body itself.

The season is winding down and I'm super proud of this kid who keeps learning and growing and trying challenging things.

He sometimes doesn't feel like it and the teenage vibes are definitely setting in, but he still gives it a try even when it's a bit scary and uncomfortable.

Do hard things even when they scare you a bit...you may start to have fun, but it's also how you build courage and confidence.

What's keeping me busy outside of classes + clients you ask?

My 2 dogs are amazing... but also very needy!
Honey joined our family in June, and while you can see the sweetness, shes also very sassy and I think could chew through adamantium.
Logan is our 7 year old giant puppy and he loves fetch and aggressive cuddles.

Our pets are kind of like exercise.
1) We build better habits through regular practice.
2) Spending time with them can feel challenging but rewarding.
3) Having them in your life will help your mood.
