It’s that time of year my friends.❄️

If it’s been grey and gloomy for more than 2 consecutive days, I break out the S.A.D. Lamp.☀️

I also just invested in a portable infrared red light, so I think we’re all set to tackle the winter blues! 💯

Ever heard of Scapula Push Ups? I swear by them and include them in nearly every class! 💁🏻‍♀️ They're easily in my top 5 exercises. 🖐🏼

I kick things off with "Stop Sign" hands to gauge whether I'm relying on my ribs to move my shoulder blades or if it's my blades doing the work. 👊🏼

Then, I take it to the next level with cat/all fours position for a more challenging experience. 💪🏼

Rhomboid Push Ups work wonders for:
🌟 Correcting rounded shoulders
🌟 Addressing winged scapula
🌟 Relieving pinched blades

After a round of these, I feel like I can breathe easier, my shoulders broaden, and my arms loosen up. 👏🏼

Do you share my love for Rhomboid Push Ups? I bet not! 😉

Ever wonder about your ribcage posture? 🤔

In today's exercise, we table the Thoracic Stretch + Shoulder Shrug bonus. Let's address those rounded keyboard shoulders. 👍🏼 Watch the transformation as I go from rib thrust to rib neutral, finding a balance between the two. 🙌🏼 I hold my ribs in a neutral position, then shrug my shoulders for a lat stretch and strengthen them to finish. 💪🏼

Benefits:
🌟 Improved shoulder flexibility
🌟 Enhanced ribcage stability and mobility
🌟 Lat stretching and strengthening

BonusL This position also gives you a Double Calf Stretch! 🦵🏼

Give it a try and share how amazing it feels!

I have a tendency to be deeply self-critical. Enneagram 1, anyone?!? 🤨

Most of the time, I feel like I’m not doing enough, doing it well enough, and not successful enough. 🙇🏻‍♀️

This downward spiral causes me to compare my success to others and feel less than. 🌀

This Maya Angelou quote speaks to this so profoundly. While I’ve never let these thoughts or feelings stop me, they’ve created unnecessary suffering. 😕

Things that have helped me learn how to value what I do, how I do it, and purely and simply, who I am are:
📌 Gratitude journal
📌 Daily devotional
📌 Getting outside
📌 Loving support system

It’s been transformative and healing. 💫

Here’s to a lifetime of liking yourself. 💗😘

As November begins, I'm thinking about the significance of this month for me, my business, and my family. With the departure of many snowbirds for the winter, the days are becoming gloomy and cold. As the weather shifts, I'm reminded of how bodies change, and happily welcome new clients into my schedule.

It's during these moments that I realize the power of my guidance in helping people feel better and alleviating their discomfort. Being a movement teacher is my true passion, and I'm committed to pursuing it for life. I look forward to helping my clients achieve their goals for as long as possible. What brings you joy in your work? 🍂❄️

Halloween's come and gone, and it's officially holiday season! The weather's getting chilly, and my clients are all about warming up and working on balance. For those with autoimmune conditions, the changing seasons can be a challenge.

Can you believe I finished all my holiday shopping in October? I know, I'm a bit unusual that way. I'm looking forward to a relaxed and fun holiday season. 🎄

Halloween was different this year due to icy temps and driveway construction. We couldn't hand out treats like usual. 🍬

But I'm determined to perfect my sugar cookie recipe, pre-order Thanksgiving from Whole Foods, plan some holiday light outings, and focus on what this season is truly about. ❤️

How are you feeling about the holidays this year? Stressful or excited? Share your thoughts! 🎁

Double Calf Stretch (DCS) is hands down one of my top 5 exercises. 🖐🏻 Whether you use a half-foam roller or go flat-footed, it works wonders! 👍🏼

But here's the kicker: I like to wrap it up with a little cat/cow action to give your spine and feet some love. 👏🏼 Why should you add DCS to your routine? Because this sequence is a game-changer, offering:

✨ Hip and inner thigh release
✨ Hamstring and calf stretch
✨ Spine and foot mobility

It's like hitting multiple birds with one stone! 🙌🏼

Give it a try and feel the difference!

I just crossed paths with the incredible River at a GYROTONIC® workshop in STL this weekend. He's the only other local teacher I've found in KC, and it feels like I've found a kindred spirit. River, I can't wait to see the adventures we'll create in this community! 😉
