I am always asking everyone from my clients to my children “where do you feel that in your body?”
-
When we slow down enough to listen, it is astounding the things our body has to tell us.

Join me this fall for a deep dive into breathing. We’re going waaayyyy past what’s in the Vocal Pedagogy texts to talk real world breathing that voice prod NEED to know.

3 sessions, each has a learning PowerPoint portion and an experiential portion where we’ll explore the body and the breath.

What are the simplest things you are doing that bring you joy?
-
Meditating with Jazzy nearby is one for me. Being on our newly painted and decorated three-season porch is another.
-
These simple acts can have such a powerfully positive impact on our wellbeing.

Tell me yours in the comments.

After talking with a dear friend about the current state of overwhelm around the duration and impact of the pandemic I wrote a blog about the impacts of living in a state of extended trauma.
-
I don’t know anyone who hasn’t felt pushed past their capacity in the last 20 months.
-
We are past the point of quick fixes or nervous system hacks. We need simple practices in the regular.

One very sweaty (auto-correct wanted that to be sweary…they’re not wrong!) HIIT workout done. 🏋️‍♀️
-
I love my yoga, but my body craves variety. These workouts are all about Breathless and Burn. Pushing until those two points forces me to rest and lights up the parts of me that need lighting up - I’m talkin to you middle aged hormones!!
-
Going to go take a slow stroll around the block to cool down.

Weekend feels.
-
Fail early, fail fast, learn and move on.
-
I frequently have to remind myself to celebrate failures because it means that I both tried and there are things to learn from the data gathered.
-
When you are finding your way out of dysfunction and pain it can feel like a series of failures as you are gathering feedback related to how your body responds to inputs. Once you get that data you can refine the inputs and improve the outputs.
-
What’s your relationship to failure when it comes to your body?

New on the blog: Perceptions of Pain.
-
We hold many misconceptions about pain including
1. We should avoid it
2. We should push through it
3. There should be a fast fix
4. It is tied to our alignment, posture or weight
5. We are broken if we experience pain
-
Link in bio to read more of what’s driving our pain response and things we can do to begin to pay attention in different ways to lower and eradicate pain.

You know Fall is close when I start baking things for breakfast.

This morning’s experiment was making @cleanfooddirtygirl recipe for ginger peach baked oatmeal (google it!)
-
All I can say is YUM. This one will definitely be going into the rotation.

Hearing this brought tears to my eyes.
-
This was a singer who thought her time was up. Diagnosis and prognosis had been given and she was resigned to not singing any more.
-
That’s when she found her way to me and we took a whole body approach to her singing.
-
Changes don’t happen over night, but they happen when we combine awareness with consistency and the right inputs. Sound production became easier, her range expanded and she felt like singing again.

This morning’s movement tools.
-
I do a 15 minute wake-my-body-up practice that gives me the chance to tune in and ask what my body needs today.
-
The answer was rotator cuff work (green band) and gut smash (purple Coregeous ball).
-
My movement practice has evolved from 22 years ago when I began it as a way to offset my running, just another athletic endeavor, to a place to manage my performance nerves and finally into a practice that brings me home to myself each and every time.
-
It looks sort of like yoga, but not like the yoga you find in most studios. I’m someone who is ok coloring outside the lines to make something mine.
