UPDATE: Wow! I had no idea anyone would even see this post because I've been off socials for so long but the response and the love has been overwhelming.
The short update is that I've focused on private clients and workshops over the last four years so I could focus on my family and supporting a lifelong friend who was battling lung cancer. I'm happy with my choices but I miss the community of amazing people who were all part of Agile Monkey and the larger movement community.

If you want to reach out, please do! I may not be able to get you in my schedule now, but I'd love to know what people are looking for, and if I can't offer it, I will do my best to connect you with the people who can.

With love and appreciation.

Long overdue share of the new Agile Monkey space.

Nothing like a panoramic view to make you feel special. Thanks for inviting me to teach at Pilates on Tour in Monterey last weekend, and for spoiling me with this view! And thanks to all who came with open minds, willing bodies and positivity. I relished every moment of connection, laughter, teaching and learning, and I can’t wait for the next time.

I don’t love promoting my services, but I do love to help people move well, live fully and embrace the amazing, complicated and dynamic experience of being an aging human. And I also love teaching. This weekend I get to share some of my nerdy thoughts on knees on the always fabulous .up.mvmt

It’s live but you can register and watch the recording at your convenience so if you want to sleep in on Sunday or you have other plans, don’t let that deter you.
