Late to the Muscle Monday game so today is Tone Tuesday 💪

The supinator is a small but mighty muscle in the upper forearm that often goes unnoticed — yet it plays an essential role in how we move every day. Located near the elbow, it wraps around the radius bone and helps us turn our palm upward, a motion called supination. Think of it as the muscle that lets you hold a bowl of soup — hence its easy-to-remember nickname, the “soup-inator.” While the supinator quietly assists your biceps in rotating the forearm, it tends to be underused compared to its opposite group, the pronators, which turn the palm downward.

Everyday tasks like typing, driving, and using tools naturally favor pronation, leaving the supinator a bit sleepy and less active. When this balance tips, it can lead to outer forearm tightness or fatigue during repetitive activities. A little mindful movement can help — try gently rotating your palm up and down or adding light resistance to wake the muscle back up.

Here’s a fun fact: the supinator keeps working even when your arm is straight, while the biceps can only help turn your palm when your elbow is bent. So the next time you open a jar, twist a yoga strap, or pour your morning coffee, take a moment to appreciate this spiral of strength that keeps life — and your movement — turning smoothly.

Be well,

🧘‍♀️ YIN & PIN — LAST CHANCE ❄️

This is it — our fifth and final Yin & Pin. 🥲

I’ve been deeply honoured to work alongside my dear friend Haley Paul these past few years. This offering has been incredibly special, and we’re going to miss her so much. In March, Haley departs for Chengdu, China to finish her internship of TCM, making this a heartfelt final offering together (for now).

Book Now: https://share.google/D4dvcs448fYfcq43P

📍 Altitude Fitness Studio
🗓 Sunday, January 18th
⏰ 5:00–7:00 p.m. — beginning right as the sun sets

Held on a Sunday night in the cold depths of winter, this workshop is intentionally timed for when the world quiets and you’re invited to do the same. Rooted in the Water element, it honours stillness, inward reflection, and deep rest.

This experience is especially for anyone feeling high stress, depleted, or stretched thin. If you feel like you don’t have the energy — that’s not something to push through here. It’s something to be acknowledged and supported. You don’t need to arrive energized or motivated — just willing to rest.

Students consistently share that they leave feeling deeply, genuinely rested after this two-hour immersive workshop — supported by slow Yin yoga, acupuncture, and a long, nourishing shavasana in a cozy studio while winter rests outside.

✨ A community favourite
✨ Deeply loved and well-attended
✨ A rare and meaningful experience

If quality rest has been calling your name, this is your invitation.

That time of year I get to nerd out on stats!

I believe it is important to share the growth of Lively this past year. To highlight the amount of humans who consistently show up for themselves.

It is too overwhelming to describe the immense level of gratitude I have for the community support in attending my services. It is a vulnerable act to offer your skills yet it is remarkable to have the years of experience to solidify my passion and craft a life of my dreams ☁️😊.

For that, I thank you endlessly.

To describe 2025, I'd say it was a year we gathered together.
Cheers to the community workshops, kids yoga sessions, dynamic cupping fans.
Cheers, to showing up in tough times and being present in the best of times.

Something special has been bottled behind the scenes 🧴

I’m so excited to finally share Lively MEND– Magnesium + Arnica Relief Cream, created in collaboration with my friends at Route 304 Cattle Co., right here in Linden.

This lotion blends the best of both our worlds — their rich, local tallow base and my love for natural, mindful recovery. Infused with magnesium to relax tension and arnica to soothe and renew, it’s designed to bring a touch of calm relief to hardworking, prairie-worn bodies.

As the air cools and the fields settle into winter, our skin and muscles need a little extra care. This cream has quickly become a must-have on my own wellness table — deeply moisturizing, clean, and made from the heart of the community that raised us.

✨ Locally made in small batches
✨ All-natural ingredients
✨ Crafted by two Linden businesses that believe in honest, thoughtful care

Now available through both .massage.mindful.move and
From our prairie hands to yours — thank you for supporting local, and for choosing products that are as real as they are restorative. 🌾

Muscle Monday 🦵 Spotlight on the Sartorius

The sartorius is the longest muscle in your body, running diagonally across the front of the thigh from your hip to just below the knee. Its job is to help with hip and knee movements—like crossing your legs or bringing your knee up toward your chest. To keep it strong, movements like step-ups or gentle lunges are helpful. A simple way to stretch it is by sitting with one leg out straight and the other bent back beside you (a “hero’s pose” variation), gently opening the hip. Fun fact: because of its long, ribbon-like shape, the sartorius is often called the “tailor’s muscle”—named after the cross-legged sitting position once common for tailors at work.
