Midline

A great sequence for the morning or mid afternoon slump!
Help to revitalize the energy in 4-6 easy breaths.
In through the nose exhale “ha” out of the mouth to clear the path for a energized and focused work session.
Let me know how you like it!

Never met a chair I didn’t love. Such a great movement partner and under utilized prop.

Using a chair doesn’t mean you’re weak or lazy or any other such nonsense!

Incorporating a chair into your practice means you’re smart and efficient!

This is a great movement sequence for the midday slump.

How’s it feel? Let me know. Also please like, comment & share!

Hello Community, Hi!👋🏼

I want to tell you about classes I offer and invite you to join!

Some are in person! And INLINE will be resuming shortly & this post speaks to BOTH!

🙉🛑I know, I know. There are already a lot of movement type classes and fitness offerings around town- which great!

Mine are a little bit different. Here’s how:

1. It’s not only one thing. It’s not a yoga class. It’s not a HIIT class. It’s not a meditation class. It’s not a Tai chi class. It’s not a dance class. What is it then? A little bit of all each of these styles interpreted and informed by my 20 years as a dancer, yoga instructor, breath coach, fitness instructor, integrative health, swimmer, long distance biker, mind/body coach, 10 years of motherhood & 42 years of living in my own body- honestly. I call them movement classes because we will do things you’ve seen/done before mixed w things you haven’t- or try to avoid. (I see you... 😉)

2. Come as you are. Wear what you want. Be clumsy. Be coordinated. Be a beginner! Be a seasoned practitioner! Be in a great/good/ok/fine/bad mood. Just be YOURSELF Doesn’t matter. This is open to anyone who wants to be there. It is a safe inclusive space and ALL are welcome.
(Ages 12-112)🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️⚧️🌎🧙🏼‍♀️🇺🇸🌈🦄

3. Breath education is a main focus. If you are like almost everyone else- you are probably walking around holding your breath - IN. This is your place to exhale. Literally & figuratively. 🌬️

4.I’m new to town! I left NY and moved here w my sweet lil family in 2020. (I know-eesh) and when I left NY I left my entire community of students, collegues, clients, friends, collaborators, co-conspirators, and ally’s . I’m Lookkng for more of all of the above but the MI version! Come introduce yourself!

5. IN PERSON Three rules:
👉🏼Proof of Vaxx (thems the times)
👉🏼Respect the quiet and keep loud convos to the lobby
👉🏼Be yourself & have fun.

ONLINE SCHEFULE COMING SOON!

IN PERSON SCHEDULE:
MONDAY Night 7pm. Ugh I know 🫠 I know you are tired at night. Long day at work or w kids. This could be the bridge you cross to a relaxed evening and a restful nights sleep (sounds good right?)

THURSDAY 10am: For parents once they drop kids at school etc. Folks who WFH and can take a much needed movement break. Retirees. Non working people. Come mid week - it’s the best!

SATURDAY 9:15am: my personal favorite time. NOTHING strikes like a Saturday morning class to get the weekend G o i n g!🤸🏽‍♀️🤸🏽‍♀️🤸🏽‍♀️

LOGISTICS:
17844 Kelly Studios (former la fave dance studio) parking and entrance off the alley behind BP station.

This story was on NPR yesterday about the effects of breathwork on blood pressure and Covid m-19 recovery. And over all well-being. The mainstream culture is finally catching up! Give a listen!! https://www.npr.org/sections/health-shots/2022/09/20/1123500781/daily-breath-training-can-work-as-well-as-medicine-to-reduce-high-blood-pressure

Research finds five to 10 minutes daily of a type of strength training for muscles used in breathing can help anyone reduce or prevent high blood pressure. The training can also help elite athletes.

Thank you to my dear friend and entrepreneurial ally Betsy
🌸 🌸for leading me to this beautiful space 💛

I adore you and your contagious enthusiasm, incredible kindness and you have style for days - as is reflected in your name.

I will never forget the look you gave me a few weeks back, when sitting on my porch lamenting about work and the future, and you ever slyly mentioned a new dance studio was for rent…and without pause I said “let’s go check it out!! “”and in your car we ran up the way and the rest, as they say… if wasn’t for you and your energy that day I’d probably still be crying into my topo chico🥹😝

And y’all, if you haven’t checked out her gorgeous new salon run don’t walk! Not only do they give incredible services but this is a place of intention and community! What are you waiting for?!

And thank you for cleaning this place up and welcoming MIDLINE with open arms. I am honored to be your first tenant.

I have for so a few years now longed for space such as this to move breathe bend shake bounce laugh twirl swirl lay splay play - all day…so much more to come!

Onward!🏹
