#mondaymantra
-
I said this to a client last week and her response was a massive pause and then ‘that’s a whole lotta therapy right there.’
-
So much of the messaging we receive tells us we are broken and not only that, but it’s our fault we’re broken.
-
So today, shout from the roof tops, and feel it to the bottom of your soul when I say ‘you are not broken and you don’t need fixing.’

I am deeply appreciative of @resmaamenakem s voice. His eloquence and insight are something all white folx need to open their ears for. And keep them open for a lifetime of learning. Check out his interview on the @talkeasypod

I’ve spent time this year reflecting on what’s at the heart of my ‘why’ for my work.
-
Where I arrive each and every time is Love. Love is at the center of it all. I approach every individual I work with, through the lens of love.
-
I seek to help them cultivate a sense of love for themselves through connecting with their body via movement.
-
What we do may appear simple on the outside, but It’s powerful, transformative stuff.

Monday mood.
-
Meditation is getting me through this phase of the year.
-
I do it on the daily, no negotiation with myself. No skipping. No shortening it.
-
Im@amazed at the things I hear when I get quiet enough to listen.
-
Anyone else meditating on the regular now and finding it an even more vital practice than ever before?

Meet our speakers!

Listening to the Wisdom Whispers of our body: Finding Resilience through Movement

Movement Specialist, Sarah Whitten Voice, Yoga and Movement focuses on whole-body wellness and function for singers. Her work is built on the concept of Vocal Interdependence, recognizing that the voice is influenced by every other system of the body. She pulls from her background as a professional singer and voice teacher as well as certifications and studies in a variety of movement modalities including yoga, yoga as therapy, and Restorative Exercise (TM). Using principles of biomechanics, research-backed movement, and pain science, as well as a hefty dose of intuition, she works with singers’ bodies to resolve physical issues that are holding them back.

I'm thrilled to invite you to our first ever Community Class!
We'll meet on Zoom, Sunday November 22 at 4pm Eastern for a class focused on Yoga Nidra.
-
Yoga Nidra is known as yogic sleep. It's a deeply restorative meditative practice that helps our bodies move out of our active state and into the state of rest where we can begin healing, destress and find better sleep. 💤
-
This class is free and open to anyone. Join me to discover the power of deep rest.
-
The actual practice will not run more than 30 minutes and then we will have time to connect and chat after.

A little moment of afternoon happy.
-
I marginally play the piano, clarinet and guitar.
-
This year my youngest decided he didn’t want to do piano lessons anymore and REALLY wanted to learn to play the guitar.
-
Let’s just say that practicing isn’t always a second graders strong suit...
-
Today I pulled out my guitar that’s been dormant for 20+ years, tuned it up and asked him to teach me (sneaky mom way of getting him to practice more). I learned two measures of Ode to Joy!
-
My dad was a phenomenal self-taught guitar player. I grew up with daily concerts, family sing alongs and I remember pretending his guitar was a cello. LOL. He bought me my guitar as a high school graduation present. He passed away over 20 years ago, but I know he’s somewhere smiling at this scene.

So much about 2020 has been really, really hard in terms of business and life.
-
And yet, there are these moments of incredible joy and opportunity.
-
The last 10 days have been one of those 2020 blessings.
-
Getting to work with the fabulous women of @operaprogramsberlin @nikolovanastasia and @opera_julie as well as Carol Mastrodomenico in The Whole Instrument, filled my cup to overflowing.
-
Never have I appreciated the opportunity to share my passion more than this program!
-
Here’s to more warm bevvies and curious conversations about the body and voice in the months and years to come.

Sometimes the most important thing in a whole day is the rest we take between two breaths.
-
This hits me with all the feels today.

Are you breathing?

We don't give enough credit to the power of rest and relaxation to bolster our ability to heal. In part, I think that is because finding stillness can be pretty damn challenging.
-
When is the last time you just decided to lie down and do nothing? Like really nothing. Not lie down and scroll on your device. Not lie down and watch Schitt's Creek. Not lie down and read a book.
-
The kind of do nothing where you just lie down and breathe and don't move.
-
Try it and see how you do. Take the time to get yourself comfortable. Bolster your legs if your back hurts, put a folded blanket under your shoulders and maybe a pillow under your head if your chin pokes up to the sky.
-
Once you're there, can you stay still? Every time we move we stimulate the nervous system ever so slightly. So the more still you can stay, the more relaxing it can be.

‘The collapse of the feet can affect thoracic diaphragm function.’
-E. Wallace, W. Kuchera
____
Step back 👣 (pun intended) 😃and think about this for a second. You’ll see it. If you show your feet some love and attention and build up the intrinsic muscles of the foot you may breathe better which can help pain and performance anywhere. That’s kinda cool
____
No system in the body ever works alone. Never gets injured alone. Never heals alone. Think bigger. Think better. Think systems
___
Strong feet. Strong breath.

There might be something to this barefoot stuff! 😀
