When people come to see me post surgery they are often there to just recover. When I say, what about doing more than just recover? How do you really want to feel? Then, the magic happens #goals

Sometimes truly feeling your core at work can be like emerging from the woods after a long journey. It’s a tricky thing, the core, and I love when I can help someone find it. I just received this feedback from a participant in my current workshop series: I just got this from someone in the core class:I haven’t had a chance to say this yet, but this work has been very impactful. I don’t think I’ve ever felt my core the way I have in the last couple of weeks#yogatherapy #movementtherapy #mindfulstrength #corestability

Curious About Core Strength? - https://mailchi.mp/6339db3838bb/curious-about-core-strength

Core Stability Tip Series: Week One Navasana (Boat Pose) - Episode 2 In this video we explore some exercises to strengthen your hip flexors for navasana. Try 3 sets of 10 repetitions daily until they feel strong and stable and then check back in with your navasana. Note: many people who experience their hip flexors as "tight" assume that means that they don't need to be strengthened. If that is you, give this a try anyway. You will be surprised at how your experience of t...ightness could evolve with some focused strengthening work! https://youtu.be/HnhjnFkaAbA

Core Stability Tip Series: Week One we are playing with navasana (boat pose). Give these exercises a try daily for maybe 3 sets of 10 each. When they start to feel strong and stable, check back in with your navasana and see how it has evolved! https://youtu.be/cr4jcUtdjlM

RESTORE YOUR CORE 2021 When: Mondays, 6:30-7:30pm January 11 - February 1, 2021 Where: Yoga Shala Calgary Virtual Studio... Registration link in bio Build a strong and resilient core with me in this unique 4 week workshop. We will work with yoga blocks, weights and resistance bands to intelligently build your core strength. Each class will be recorded, and will begin with instruction for a 20 minute exercise routine, complete with reps and sets, for you to practice in the time between classes. Then we will move into a fun yoga-style movement class that will challenge you in new ways and give you first hand experience of core stability, which is sure to bring a smile to your face (rather than the usual breath-holding grimace!). What people are saying about the December session of this workshop: This work has been very impactful. I don’t think I’ve ever felt my core the way I have in the last couple of weeks Laura My horse made an unexpected and sharp turn today, and the instructor couldn’t believe I didn’t fall off. Thanks for the core muscles, Teach! Janet Your measured approach to progressions is very helpful. One of the big things I’ve learned is the importance (and fun) of really paying attention to what my body has to say while exercising. I am used to just pounding it out feeling afterward like I had a good work out, but missing a lot of the feedback I could be getting during it (if that makes sense). Another example of the benefits of doing things mindfully! Wally #yogatherapy #mindfulstrength #movementtherapy #corestability

What a difference a pandemic makes . #stilllovemyjob #virtualconnection #virtualyoga #yogatherapy #movementtherapy @yogashalacalgary

This was such a fun experience and also fascinating from a mindfulness perspective. Learning to respond to visual instruction, move slowly and relax in category 3 hurricane winds takes a lot of awareness. #yogatherapy #movementtherapy #pushyourboundaries #dontforgettoplay

One of the most gratifying things for me as a movement therapist, is when my clients take what they learn with me and make it their own. I did a little happy dance and shouted YES when I received this text last night: "it's about what happens as I do the movement and not so much the perfection of movement itself"
