Living in the world today requires an enormous "ask" of our nervous systems. Over-simulation, uncertainty, & distraction have been normalized. We invite you to benefit from a practical, movement-based process that helps you:
•Manage pain with awareness of what makes it better vs. what makes it worse
• Free yourself from the exhaustion of unconscious muscle-guarding
• Calm the fight/flight/freeze stress response and access limbic self-regulation

Funny how hard it is for people to accept a way of moving through life that creates ease instead of hard work, calm instead of chaos, comfort instead of friction. It's as if we have all been so programmed to work until we drop that we feel guilty if we slow down. But If you're like me, you like to work hard AND play hard, and if you give your whole self to work, you got nothin' left for riding horses, traveling the high road or skiing slopes without a care in the world!

EXCLUSIVE CLASS OFFERED THIS SPRING ONLY IN Jacksonville, OR.

The wisdom of aging is confidence born of competence. But do you know how to do this in your body, somatically? It's amazing! It's like being a child, discovering new abilities And wonder!

How do you get greater muscular improvement with fewer repetitions? When I spoke to my brother yesterday, he said he's swimming every day...but it takes time. "How do people have time to work AND stay fit? It helps if you know how to work smarter, not harder with - Awareness Through Movement® By exploring functional and developmental movement patterns—many learned before you could speak—compensation patterns from old injuries are reorganized and muscular tension is reduced. Because it works with the neuroplasticity of the brain, it takes less time each time...It's not mindless exercise. It's somatic education.

Got Pain? Want to bypass the Primary Care/Diagnostic Runaround? Learn to work with your own Nervous System to go from feeling triggered to feeling unbothered! Yesterday, I was in the grocery store. The clerk asked how I was doing. I said, "Rolling with the constant ups & downs of changing prices!" Surprised, I realized I didn't care about the crazy inflation of food prices at that moment. I was joking about it! It was especially obvious when the clerk got triggered, going off on a tangent about the price of gas...which faded into silence as she looked at me. I smiled. She let it go. This is the magic of learning to use Awareness Through Movement® - you discover how to create the exact conditions your nervous system needs to reset itself.

It's more cost-effective than insurance when you know how to take care of yourself!

Awareness Through Movement (ATM) lessons use gentle, movement sequences to improve how you organize daily activities at work, so you can expend more energy at doing the things you love! By exploring functional and developmental movement patterns—many learned before you could speak—compensation patterns from old injuries are reorganized and muscular tension is reduced.

• Alternative to stretching to improve mobility & release tension at home
• Improving injuries that have resulted in asymmetrical imbalances
• Postural re-education of alignment for sitting, standing, and walking
• Deconstruct postural habits that cause pain
• Neurological re-education to change compensation patterns to alleviate pain
• Decrease stress levels: set aside time every week for self-regulation practice

Body awareness. It's not just for athletes. It's for anyone who wants to heal.

How do you rehabilitate muscle injury & also eliminate compensation patterns? Most people know that compensation patterns are the body's attempt to freeze muscles around the injury, so it can heal. What they don't know can hurt them: If allowed to continue long after the injury is healed, compensation patterns can cause new pain. You think it's unrelated because your injury was in your knee, for example, but limping or being on crutches for months can make your low back muscles get overworked, skewing your entire skeleton out of wack. But you can learn to do neurological reprogramming yourself: with Awareness Through Movement®

Have you dragged yourself home after six hours of work and thought, “How can I feel so drained when I barely moved?”

Strangely, six hours on a trail in the open air often leaves you energized, while six hours in front of a screen leaves you fried.

You need downtime.

Is the ball and socket joint intersecting in your hip joint without a disruption of the line of force? Sometimes hip pain is caused by unequal tension within the muscles that wrap around the joint to stabilize it. But your nervous system can reset the resting tonus of these muscles, so that the force of gravity goes through the joint in such way that it stabilizes you instead of causing you pain.

You can learn how to do this and more at the upcoming awareness through movement class which begins on April 12th in Jacksonville. Find out more at https://twp.ai/E6HCVb
