Nothing like a quiet reflective morning watching the winter snow fall sipping morning tea in front of the fire. Perfect Saturday morning.

What a great day to cross country ski! Talk about a balance challenge. I’ll admit I fell over once. It was pretty comical. It taught me that I need to balance myself over the skis. I thought about my spine, head, sternum, belly button and crouch, centred over the skis. If I weight shift too far to one side, I’m gonna go down. 😝😝😝

Cross country skiing is challenging Once you find your center of gravity, think about sliding ski and opposite arm forward then transition to the other side it’s just like walking. In some ways easier than walking.

And Thursday’s is about me! My movement, focusing on how I can address my movement needs.
I love joining the Advance Mat Class at The Neuro Studio@to explore what’s happening as I move. It allows me@to be curious and creative to build my movement practice for the better!

Fun group session with my favorite ladies!

This morning everyone got a little something that they needed. Mostly a reset after shovelling snow and dealing with frigid temps.

Who said you can’t walk in the woods after a heavy snow? Strap on those snows shoes and move it along.

Cooper and I were out yesterday but struggled to get organised.

Today I did a better job. Snow Shoeing is like walking with clown shoes through water. It’s hard.

Getting your feet talking to your hips and your upper body organised with your lower body and figuring out where to look and how to stay up right is challenging.

Here’s what I did to be more successful today.

1 - made an “L” with my pointer and thumb place one finger in my belly button and the other toward my p***c bone. I started walking with a focus of not changing the distance between my two fingers. Things became easier.

2 - I found a visual target to move towards. Everything became even easier.

I decided to focus on these two strategies. They worked beautifully.

If you’d like to learn why these strategies worked DM me.

Taking a cue from my Nordic heritage I adapted to the adage, “There is no bad weather just bad dressing” and bundled up and set off with Cooper for a snowshoe hike. It was lots of fun and lots of work. Thankfully Cooper lead the way.

And of course I was armed with Balance strategies that kept me upright!
