I have found this to be true more often than not
Two of my clients weren't feeling well, yet both of them wanted to keep their training sessions with me this week, because they knew they would feel better after. Liz hasn't had real food for 24 hours and was nauseous with swollen eyes. But I was surprised that she wanted to do an hour of seated and floor work with me. We focused on stress release, and she felt much looser after and proceeded to take a much needed nap.
Another client C, on the other hand, had some newly diagnosed heart issue and was adjusting to a new medication. After two nights at the hospital and two nights back home, she was still feeling weak. Yet she wanted a standing and barre session so I customized/improvised a gentle one for her. She was really tired all day, she said, especially since she was only sleeping 5.5 hours each night for the past week. Yet she felt her energy restored by the end of our session and wished she could meet me for a session everyday.
Now, every case is different and I'm not suggesting that you should all do Essentrics when you aren't feeling well. You need to listen to your body. But such is the impressive scalability of the method that even it can support many cases when we aren't feeling well. I, of course, have always known that, having used that to pull myself out of auto-immune issues. But these cases are great reminders of the efficacy of what Miranda has created.
