These are questions I ask my clients when we train together. These asks do not come from a place of judgment, but rather an invitation to be more aware of how they move throughout their day.
•
When you pay more attention, and move with more intention in everything you do, that consciousness creates a ripple effect. After time, that intention permeates into the more complex parts of life.
•
When you start to create better movement patterns both on and off the mat, you begin to tap into your potential and experience just how strong you really are.
•
In my upcoming 3-day training, we take a deep-dive into body mechanics and how our body moves. We will explore new techniques & methods on how to create healthier movement patterns in your individual body, and how to move more effectively both on and off the mat.

👉As the world continues to go through so much, it feels like we are in our own version of a “great depression.” It makes sense that we may be feeling stressed, anxious, unsettled, worried, fearful, etc., considering the current state of things. It’s no secret that stress affects our body’s ability to function properly, but some don’t know the more direct relationship between the psoas muscle and stress.

👉Your psoas has been coined by many as “the most important muscle in your body.” I am also going to file it under one of the most underrated muscles in the body. Your psoas muscle quite literally connects your upper body to your lower body. The psoas is also responsible for our hip power and agility. A tight psoas decreases our performance in all sports and exercise, and increases stress on the spine putting us at risk for injury.

👉The psoas doesn’t just affect the body’s physical stress, but our mental stress as well. The psoas is a primary “fight/flight/freeze” muscle. It allows us to brace ourselves for impact (fight). It allows us to run away (flight), and it’s the muscle we use to curl up into a fetal position (freeze). When we are in a constant state of worry, stress, or fear, our psoas semi-contracts and stays contracted whether we are aware of it or not.

👉When we are stressed about work, family, or the state of the world, that stress and anxiety has a direct impact on how our body & mind function. Finding ways to de-stress is vital for our health and well-being, and it doesn’t need to be some grand getaway or major life change. If we can start small, and begin to implement functional habits to alleviate stress, these little practices will evolve into a habitual routine to help you stay balanced & grounded.

A year ago, on October 4, we packed up, said our farewells, and took a leap. One year later to the day, we packed up again, said our farewells, and returned home. One full circle around the sun, but it feels as if a lifetime was lived in just 365 days. Closing the studio in Tulum was a difficult, emotional decision, but that’s life. A bunch of decisions.

Could we have done it differently? Definitely.

Would it have made a difference? Debatable.

There are no guarantees when chasing dreams. Failure is always an option, but only if you choose to see it that way. This doesn’t mean we simply “stay positive,” but it does require a mindset with room for nuance. This s**t is hard, gritty, and messy. This past year broke me, and built me. It challenged me, and changed me. It shattered me, and shaped me.

The last year has shown me just how short I’ve sold myself in the past. The last year has proved to me just how much resilience resides in human spirit. The last year has taught me that uncertainty is a place most people won’t travel to, so being misunderstood just comes with the territory.

365 days, and I learned something new each and every one of them. The most important lesson being, that this isn’t the end. This is just the beginning.

Onward loves…

Keep chasin that sun, ☀️
