A poet is somebody who feels, and who expresses his feelings through words.

This may sound easy. It isn’t.

A lot of people think or believe or know they feel — but that’s thinking or believing or knowing; not feeling. And poetry is feeling — not knowing or believing or thinking.

Almost anybody can learn to think or believe or know, but not a single human being can be taught to feel. Why? Because whenever you think or you believe or you know, you’re a lot of other people: but the moment you feel, you’re nobody-but-yourself.

To be nobody-but-yourself — in a world which is doing its best, night and day, to make you everybody else — means to fight the hardest battle which any human being can fight; and never stop fighting

Not many are aware of the work I do with the nervous system. In my quest to connect Body Mind and Spirit, I have learned a great deal about the way the body stores our personalities and memories. Learning to pause and tune in to what is going on within will challenge you greatly, but it could also catapult your entire belief system to a deeper place of true knowing...yourself, others and Spirit.

If you'd like to come and join my free session at this Contemplative Retreat this Thursday, I would love to have you! Recordings will be available for a cost (which I would benefit from). Please share this post if you know anyone who might enjoy it.

This is one of the teachers who has most inspired me, and an interesting read, considering how common it is to pull the shoulders back and stick out the chest.

So many of us have been instructed to lift our sternums to achieve a form or posture. It's a mechanical action that can tighten our spine, ribs, sternum, and shoulders.

All set for the Energy workshop tomorrow! This has been such a labour of love 💙

Reformer Pilates is like any discipline...to become better, you must practice. Laced with technical terms and movement choreography, Pilates can seem daunting. However, as you become more familiar with the Reformer and the Pilates method, you will find yourself using the deepest aspects of both the mind and the body.

There is a misconception that you have to be "in shape" to use the Pilates reformer. Pilates is about building a strong core and then progressing to reach individual goals and the reformer is a great piece of equipment for any fitness level! All exercises done on the reformer can be progressed or regressed allowing the instructor meet individual needs of their clients.

So many people ask "what is the Pilates reformer and how does it work?" Simply put, the Pilates reformer is an apparatus that allows you to find length and space in the body while using spring tension. The reformer creates internal pressure to elongate the spine, joints, and muscles, leading to greater flexibility, strength, stamina, and balanced posture.

As our foundation, the human foot can be compared to a plant's roots. They connect us into gravity, receive energy from the earth, and supply the strength and support in all of the many complex movements we engage in.
At the Movery, we work first on opening and then mindfully aligning the feet in every exercise.
