Before practicing tai chi and qi gong daily, I would have several nights a month of poor sleep. Hours spent staring at the ceiling with my mind racing, followed by a rough day. After starting daily practice almost 20 years ago, nights like that are very rare...and I also seem to need less sleep!

Here's a short article discussing a study on tai chi's impact on insomnia compared to Cognitive Behavioural Therapy. In the study, tai chi demonstrated short term improvement (at 3 months) but really shined long term when it outperformed CBT (15 months). I experienced almost immediate dramatic improvement, but practiced more frequently than the study participants.

Tai chi and qi gong have much to offer, including healing for our nervous systems. I am currently offering private lessons. Shoot me a message or call if you'd like to learn more!

A new study suggests tai chi could help alleviate chronic insomnia similar to the effects of cognitive-behavioral therapy.

New Group Class!

I'm excited to start offering an animal movements class at the neighbors - Naked Heart Yoga, LLC . It will be Mondays at 5p, starting Oct 6, and run 45 min. Sign up at app.ubindi.com/Jessica.Ireland.

Animal movements tie together strength, mobility, and skill/control really beautifully. They reeducate your body to move as a unit, rather than an assemblage of parts. Most importantly, they are fun!

These movements helped keep my bodywork career on the rails (while my hands adjusted to the work) and I'm excited to share!

You'd like to see the movements in action? Here's a taste

Free Massage!

Two opportunities at my office:
Tuesday Oct 21 7-8p

I am taking a rib cage technique webinar that includes these two nights and need someone to work with during each session. If interested, you could come both nights or just one.

I'm excited for this course! The ribs are often neglected and releasing the surrounding soft tissue can have far-ranging impacts. If you're interested and have questions, I'm happy to talk.

When I first started getting busy as a bodyworker about 6 years ago, I was very excited to support my family doing what I wanted and still want to do. My hands, wrist, and fingers were also excited, but not in a desirable way - inflamed and in pain.

I found GMBs Elements - a strength and mobility program that is super fun, affordable, required no equipment, and basically resolved my tendonitis in a couple months!

I am currently training to be a GMB fitness coach, but I also highly recommend Elements to anyone who wants to enjoy the process of getting stronger, more mobile, and developing the control required to do cool stuff

Build strength, agility, and freedom of movement by mastering essential movement skills.
