It’s always hard to find the *perfect* way to wrap up a semester…how do we celebrate 16 weeks of moving and growing and building our small community? 🤷‍♀️

Each ending may look a little different, but the one main constant is saving extra time at the end of our final practice for an extended future visualization meditation. A simple reminder from Gandhi who once said, “The future depends on what we do in the present.”

Go share and shine your bright lights to all my students…the world needs them. 💛💛 See you in January! 🥳

A little guided meditation, breathwork, and mobility training this morning with the HSE Swim/Dive team…these student athletes were awesome to work with!

Learning the importance of body awareness ( ) and training the brain to stay in the present moment are just an added bonus for athletes that practice yoga! 🧘🏻

🎃Super fun Halloween Flow with my awesome Friday crew this morning!! There are few things better than moving our bodies to a killer creepy playlist!! 👻🎶

🧘🏻So SO excited to be a part of this program for the upcoming Fall session!! Hollie is adding in a day of restorative yoga (with me!) and it’s going to be awesome! 😉

I have been lifting with Hollie Nicholson Wellness Hollie’s Strong program for about a year…I knew when I stopped teaching BodyPump that I still needed weights in my life to counter all my yoga and this program truly was *exactly* what I needed. It’s simple to follow (not easy…but simple…LOL! 🤣), progressive workout so you actually see your progress, a super convenient app to track all your progress, and the flexibility to get your workout done when you need to on your time.

If you’re looking for something new to try this Fall, check it out and join us!🙌

“Yoga is ultimately a journey into truth: truth about who you really are, what you are capable of, how your actions affect your life.” —Baron Baptist

So excited to start a brand new semester today and watch all these new yogis as they begin on their journey to define their truth and develop a personal practice that fits their needs.

💙 I always wear blue to start a new class to help channel a strong throat chakra. The fifth chakra is responsible for communication, self-expression, and the ability to speak your personal truth…and we can always use the reminder to clearly communicate our purpose and to share our inner light with those around us🙏🌟

☀️Yoga is the golden key that unlocks the door to peace, tranquility and joy.” —B.K.S. Iyengar

Reverse Warrior, Peaceful Warrior, Viparita Virabhadrasana…so many big names for one simple pose that is a sure fire way to feel alive, balanced and rejuvenated 🧘‍♀️

Feeling grateful that this beautiful house was my yoga view for an entire week…and also super duper grateful for my practice that keeps me grounded, sane, and feeling limber after a full week of baseball games, huge hill walking and endless hours of standing in awkward positions to watch T do his ⚾️thing! 🤩

☀️School’s Out For Summer!😎

As we are settling into our summertime routines, it is the perfect season to incorporate mobility and stability training into an athlete’s weekly routine.

Why do athletes (and all humans!) need mobility and stability training in their life?

👉We learn movement through moving…this means training the body to have the range of movement needed to complete the tasks asked of it in sport

👉If we want to maximize efficient movement we must learn to utilize both stability and mobility at the same time

👉Building stability allows us to control our movements eventually leading to increased strength

👉Using a forward fold to touch your toes is NOT mobility training…it’s a beautiful example of flexibility in the hamstrings but mobility involves teaching the muscles and joints to work together to help improve performance and prevent injury

💪Interested in working on your or your athlete’s mobility in the off-season? I would LOVE the opportunity to work with you! 🎉
With my IUPUI classes on break for Summer, I have availability for privates, small groups, and teams sessions…just reach out and let’s get started! 🙌

“No matter who we are, the most important moment of our lives is the one happening right now.” —Rebecca Pacheco

I just packed the last school lunch I will ever make for my Senior. Yes…I still pack his lunch…🤷‍♀️🤣

It is the season for ALL the things—last track meet x3, last orchestra concert x3, end of year parties to celebrate moving on and Senior breakfasts to celebrate being done. Toss in daily baseball, Pinterest worthy teacher gifts, graduation festivities, the incessant need for groceries, and trying to maintain sanity to teach and hold space for my classes and my teams…and there the stress cycle begins.

It’s easy to get caught up in the stress response—the panicked, cortisol fueled fight-or-flight reaction that begs us to tackle as many things as we can as quickly as we can. We rush through our moments but damn, it feels good to check those boxes off our to-do lists. How do we wake ourselves up to live in the present moment? To jump off the continuously spinning carousel of to-do mentality?

We breathe. We find stillness. We use mindfulness.

Need help finding a grounding practice to survive and thrive during the end of the year crazy?

➡️Try this:

🔅Set a timer.
🔅Sit and breathe.
🔅Maybe focus on a word or two to remember to stay grounded.
🔅Think “I breathe in” when you inhale and “I breathe out” when you exhale.
🐈‍⬛Black cat optional😉

Sometimes we need a reminder to stay and enjoy the present moment because soon the present will become our past. 🙏🧘‍♀️

“Mobility and stability must coexist to create efficient movement in the human body.” —Gray Cook

Yes, we need BOTH mobility AND stability to have healthy, functioning bodies and even more if you are an athlete asking your body to do extraordinary movements. Stability is the precursor for strength—once we have effective movement, then we can deepen that movement to build strength.

Here is my very favorite ⚾️ player working on his T-spine rotation and shoulder mobility while reinforcing the lower body stability in his hips by holding the block against the wall. This simple exercise increases power and durability in rotational sport athletes, while also increasing the athlete’s range of movement.
(Bonus…the trunk and hip stability he is building will also help his running for track season😉🏃🏻‍♂️)

➡️Start kneeling with one foot forward keeping the hips square
➡️Place a block between the wall and the forward knee and use slight pressure to keep hips stable
➡️Inside shoulder touches the wall
➡️Be sure to use inhales and exhales to move the arms…inhale open, exhale closed. This gets the diaphragm involved and breathing makes all movements more effective.

Where are all my rotational sport athletes at? ⚾️🏈🏀⚽️

This is one of my very favorites to work on T-spine mobility for any athlete…or any human who just wants to move well 😉

Working on our thoracic mobility allows us to maintain the available movement along the middle portion of the spine which helps promote better posture, a greater range of movement, and reduces pain/injury from repetitive movements from the sports we love.

⚾️Bonus for my ball players…combining T-spine rotation with working the trunk stabilizers protects the shoulder joint while working through a healthy range of throwing motion 💪

🏃🏻‍♂️And runners I didn’t forget about you…although you are not considered rotational athletes, a strong, mobile T-spine is imperative for good posture, effective form, and breathing while running🙌

➡️Start with a bridge position—knees hip width apart and feet pressing into the ground. If you feel your knees twisting, try holding a block between your legs to hold hips steady so twist is solely mid-spine.

➡️Slowly lift your hips up and roll onto one side—extending opposite arm as it reaches across to tap floor behind you.

➡️Do each side and then one neutral repetition in the middle to reset the spine. Use your breath…inhaling on the reach, exhaling on the release back to the floor.

✅Today’s Objective:

Convince 90ish high school ⚾️ players at 6am that yoga-based mobility training WILL make them a better and even more important—a healthier—player…and we might even have a bit of fun along the way! 😉😂

It’s my favorite time of year as I watch all these dedicated ball players come super early to school in order to work with their team and to improve at their sport. We worked on shoulders, hips, spines, and hamstrings, but even more importantly these players took initiative in learning how to care for their body and help it achieve its highest potential! 💙🦁

(In other news…apparently my playlist was “FIRE”…I’ll take it! 😂🔥😜)
