My two precious feet have carried me through this lifetime. There were times when the base support they offer was critically painful. Once I could hardly bear weight on the right tootsie thru four long months. Bless this episode for finally turning me on to how to fully address this oh-so-common problem. (Clue: it is not about rubbing the bottom of your foot.) We have 2 1/2 hours Sun Jan 25 for me to pass this wisdom on. I love being with you at Yoga Shala. Let's do it.❤️

I adore this class. Come join me this morning to release all the kinks, do a bit of core toning and then glide/floss that weary nervous system. A little warrior pose at the end if we have time! ❤️Bella

Did you know we have more than one nervous system?  One of these systems has a lot of air space in the cultural conversation right now: the autonomic nervous system.  Most know it as that “fight, flight” thing.  Actually it’s two connected pathways---sympathetic and parasy

Love testimonials like this....thank you M.E.
Hey Bella,
Here's another anecdote illustrating how rolling has changed my life (no hyperbole intended...). My wife and I were picking up our 3 year old granddaughter at her marvelous day care and I stumbled in a hole on the playground. I didn't actually fall, but my body seized up as I caught my body. By the time we arrived at home, my knee was throbbing as was my lower back; I could hardly walk and felt very, very weak and tentative in my movements: not a great way to be around a 3 year old. Luckily, my daughter has a hard, 3 foot foam roller and I had packed my balls. So, later that evening I rolled for about an hour: rolled as I breathed and listened to my body, it's aches and age. I then took a warm bath and went to bed. The next day I was sore, but mobile. I repeated the rolling again that night. By the next day (the 2nd after to stumble), I could hardly feel any pain or stiffness. So, here's an instance of listening to my body, deeply feeling the soreness and rolling with self love and compassion: no drugs, no docs. Now, almost a week later, I feel as good as ever. Thanks again, Bella. As I said, you're a life changer. https://www.bodyjoy.net/physical-therapy

Ankles----a healing journey......

So this is an ankle story.  Though trauma can create sudden onset of ankle pain, this is a tale to remind us that these problems can arise very insidiously.  Aches and pains can brew on the back burner for a long time before manifesting as painful body parts.  “It came out

I was so drawn to this studio because of the name. Totally remember that sweet Freeport space. Michelle Marlahan has been holding the practice with such incredible integrity all this time. And I love the notion of celebrating that. Come enjoy some free classes. I'll be bringing rollers for a 30 minute tasty treat. Link to Roll & Release in the comments.
