So much tension tends to gather in the places in our bodies between our heads and our hearts. This is always true - and especially so in times of stress, like what we're all living through now. Here's an 8-minute hands-on practice you can try, weaving breath work, self massage and compassionate self-awareness to bring more openess and flow to places that may be feeling clenched and challenged. Enjoy - and let me know, in the comments section how this works for you!

Simple self-care practices for easing lower back pain, based on what I've learned from 30+ years of working with clients, as well as with my own issues. I goofed when filming this, so use your phone settings to stabilize the image if you want to view it.

Feeling my way into our new cultural moment.....

In a world where, quite suddenly, handshakes have been replaced by elbow-bumps, employees are instructed to work from home, and Americans are told not to board cruise ships or long-distance flights…

I was an activist before I became a bodyworker 30 years ago, so I've long been interested in the intersection between body-centered awareness practice and social transformation. This new offering is as clearly conceived and articulated as anything I've yet seen. Even if you're not going to take the class, do check it out and take in the deep perspective the descriptions offer.

"This course introduces an embodied approach to understanding and transforming entrenched patterns of relating to others based on inequitable social power dynamics. Grounded in current research, it offers a clear description of how oppression is experienced as a bodily ‘felt sense’ and identifies the mostly unconscious behaviors that perpetuate oppression. In particular, the course will address how embodied microaggressions contribute to the traumatic impact of oppression, how unexamined body norms can perpetuate body shame, and how privilege can be unconsciously embedded in everyday movements and postures."
