Part 3……………….🖤
The end to my lovely chat with .natasha

Here we discuss our meditation practices as well as my Scream 😱 where I feel a huge purging of my repressed anger. We also touch on our daily walks and our personal creative outlets. And as always we do this as an offering to others in the hopes that you can also find your own daily rituals and bring more of your full presence into your day and thereby discovering more of your authentic self. 🧘🏻‍♀️✨

“There is an inherent wholeness to the movements of animals, whereas for people, aspects of our being tend to become separated: hands from legs, mind from body, body from spirit. Moving with the qi force, and allowing it to move with you, enables you to absorb and combine the external energy with the life force. At this level, oneness with the Tao begins as you learn to move your body in an integrated way. Qi is brought into harmony with the body through sensitization.”

Kidney 6 or “Shining Sea” in Traditional Chinese medicine, is a common acupuncture and acupressure point with many health benefits. It’s an important point on the kidney meridian and plays a role in nourishing the Yin energy throughout the body. Kidney 6 helps in treating conditions related to the lower body and promoting overall balance in the body’s many systems.

Kidney 6 aids in hormonal balance and can help regulate the reproductive system, including menstrual disorders, hot flashes and insomnia related to hormonal changes.

Kidney 6 helps to calm the mind and is known to ease anxiety, reduce stress, and promote restful sleep, making it a great point to stimulate before bedtime or when you’re stressed.

The stimulation of Kidney 6 can help to alleviate dry eyes and redness and can also help to combat dryness of the throat or dry cough.

Lastly, Kidney 6 is often used in TCM for addressing conditions such as frequent urination, incontinence or reproductive health issues, including menstrual cramps.

It’s always helpful to get to know these important points so we can help heal ourselves when we need it. We’re nearing the end of kidney season, so make sure to nourish your kidney qi. 🩵💧

This course offers a beautiful blend of my background of Qi Gong, Dance, Gyrotonic and Pilates! Come explore more advanced concepts and principles in the deep work of Dynamic Sliding Pilates.

Unlike the regular Pilates matwork where the movements are more linear, with a start and stop quality, Sliding Pilates uses movement in a variety of dynamic planes and with motions that loop back into themselves in coordination with the breath.

With the use of the discs and the Pilates vocabulary, Dynamic Sliding Pilates incorporates the work of the reformer and the classic matwork to create a more complete and complex workout. The discs slide on the floor guiding arm and leg movements. And at the same time the feedback from the floor also offers the opportunity to utilize deeper muscular connections by closing the kinetic chain.

Dynamic Sliding Pilates conditions the body by offering motions that increase the fluidity of the spine, while also opening the joints and stretching the musculature of the body in a supportive and strengthening manner.

Come join me in June for this great workshop that is designed for the advanced student or the Pilates instructor who is looking to inspire their Mat classes. You’ll leave with so much new material but also incredible new knowledge. I’d love to share this deep work with you! 🙇🏻‍♀️

My lovely chat with my dear friend .natasha where I discuss my morning and daily rituals and emphasize the importance of these practices not only being self care and another task to mark off in the day but also self loving tools to bring more meaning and intention to my life.
