Learning how to move well is incomplete without a heavy dose of fun. Being stiff about loosening up doesn't go well together.

If you're feeling stiff in body, mind or soul, I promise you will find out how much lighter a flexible body and mind are.

And it's not torturous like you might think!

It's my deepest love to be in this space with all.of you.

Patty said the other day "you can get fit anywhere but this place is true mind, body soul work."

Shout-out to Beth .in.the.body for the deep listening, knowledge, and care she showed me during an intro session at her studio, Bend N Move. I’ll be signing up to work with her re-learning functional movement after 10+ years living with repetitive stress injuries. Beth’s studio is in Delridge. If you’ve seen us for massage, Reiki or wellness coaching, I think you’d appreciate what this business has to offer.

A lot can come from coffee with friends. Wishes for sparkles, peace and tranquility, joy and to (tongue in cheek) not become an alcoholic... aka laughs and lots of them!!!

Also inspiration and this beautiful article and a Pic for the memory books.

Sharing to invite more to the community... it's a real genuine one and filled with nothing but goodness from all directions.

This is my best one yet.

Sometimes the things we know best, we know least. We learned about Gravity in 3rd grade, but without a conscious relationship to it, we've let it harm instead of help our body.

Here's how to shift that paradigm

Tue, 09/03/2024 By Beth Dayo Whether you acknowledge it or not, I know you experience pain in your body—regardless of your age. I know this because our society’s obsession with constant progress prioritizes (or exalts) forward and upward movements. That mental stress creates matching physical pa...

Hi All!!
I wrote a wonderful article I'm excited about sharing, that I need your help with the title before its published.
It talks about the impacts of gravity and our relationship to it on our physical body and mental health.

Here are your options -
1. The Weight of Well-Being
2. Gravity's Pull on Pain and Peace
3. The Gravity of Gravity

What sparks your interest?

Have you ever felt out of place in an exercise class?

Felt lost in knowing if you're doing an exercise video right?

If you felt better about these would you be happy moving more and taking different care of your body??

She said - "what you taught me really works"
And - "I've been to physical therapy, and can't say those have helped as much as this has helped."

If you could spend a day in our studio, these are the types of things you'd see.

Now imagine if you were the body learning and practicing with us. What would you want to do again, that you can't, or have accepted will just be difficult or painful? Share in comments.

This is our little family away from home, truly!!

And big props to Dona for these accomplishments in such a short time, and for being willing to show all of you in this video!!

Giving people skills and tools to move better for their whole life is very different than leading and exercise class. When you are taught how to feel and rel...

Carolyn left the loveliest review!

I love Carolyn so much and have found such joy in discovering unique ways to restore function to her body. The power of the mind should not be underestimated, instead learned and harnessed!

Like Carolyn does, she works really hard, shows up with a beautiful attitude ALL THE TIME, and never quits, not when she is in a boot and injured, not for anything. GO CAROLYN!!

For any of you who want to tell the world about how this work has changed your world! Here's the link!

Beth Dayo Thu, 03/14/2024 By Beth Dayo When was the last time you truly listened to your body's whispers? Chances are, it's been drowned out by the hustle and bustle of our mind-dominated lives. We've grown accustomed to silencing those small cries until they escalate into shouts we can no longer ig...
