Our Studio...Blessed

When I suddenly got the new studio, I immediately knew we’d have to do a blessing of the space.

When you teach out of your home, it so very easily creates a sense of temple because you’re opening up your most personal space to people. Over time, as they come and go, the students imbue that space with even more sacred and peace and intention.

You can’t just move into a new space, especially one that’s a bit more… sterile, and expect it to have the same feeling. It takes time.

But it also deserves a marking of the transition into the space, a setting of intention for the space and the people who will be in there, and an acknowledgement that we are now starting to take this space for our own sacred temple of community.

So we did that. A small group of people came together, each with their own gift to give — whether it be creating sound, making and sharing scent, saying words, being with us, bringing sparkle balloons, and so much more!

It was perfect and I hope when you first walk in here that you can feel how we are taking care to make this new studio special for you.

Happy Healthy Feet

As I say in the video, everything is about the feet because that’s where it all starts.

This is just a simple, quick, few moves practice that, if done every day for a month, will change not just your feet but your sense of ease in your body overall.

A Glimpse into My One on One Work and What It's All REALLY About

I work with people one on one, and with every person, this will look very different, of course but eventually it all comes down to similar issues.

People will come to me wanting to work on flexibility or they want to get stronger. They often start by coming to me with what they perceive to be a physical issue.

But eventually and inevitably, we get to the real issue.

Chronic physical issues (as opposed to illnesses) always have a basis in your emotional or spiritual life.

The body is simply telling the truth about your pain or what you need before you yourself are ready to articulate it.

Some of my students though know this from the start and come to me immediately with requests like Chris, for example.

She’s working through a lot of layers of grief, and even though she takes weekly classes with me, she knows that on occasion she needs more intense and focused help. So right now, we’re doing a series of one on ones focusing on exactly HER.

This is how we started last week — with what I simply call folding and unfolding. It’s a way to very easily drop into the body without feeling like you’re trying to make the body “perform” in any way.
