Breathe With Me
​
Let's get moving and grooving! Moving your physical body (asana) not only makes you look and feel like a shining star, but has positive effects on all of the other systems of the body. Our lymphathic system is the highway of detox and immune functioning. It does not have its own muscular pumps, so it relies on the contractions of your skeletal muscles. This is why exercise is so vital for our health.
​
As a certified personal trainer, yoga therapist, and life time professional dancer, I have been studying bodies and movement for decades. There is no one size fits all and every body has its own unique way of moving and that is why each movement based regime is specifically designed for you.

Recover with Me
After all the breathing, and moving comes the real magic. Recovery. When we are sweating and working out we are actually adding stress to the system and breaking down tissues in the body (catabolism). The tissues break down and then new tissue cells come lay down and hence muscle growth (anabolism).
In order to grow and build from the breakdown, we must replenish, nourish and sleep. Our nervous systems must be switched on to the parasympathetic state- rest, digest and repair, and nutrients and vitamins must be readily available to supply the energy and proper tools to do the replenishment. Without this, most of your hard work will go down the drain.
Recovery comes in many forms.

​
Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation. A stretching technique that involves dynamic movements of contracting and lengthening a muscle for increased range of motion, blood flow, and flexibility. This can be part of a cool down after a workout or a recovery session on its own. Keeping circulation throughout the body ensures oxygen and nutrients can get to each area to ensure active daily healing. Cupping is also used in conjunction with this technique for the ultimate feel good flow.
​
Cupping. An ancient alternative medicine technique where cups are placed on the body and through suction bringing circulation to the area. Cupping reduces pain, inflammation, aids in healing, creates relaxation and increases cellular repair. Clients have found exponential relief with cupping in conjunction with a breathing protocol and slow controlled movements as we work through old trauma that has resided in the body.
​
Sleep. 70% of adults report they do not get sufficient sleep- less than 6 hours a night. 1/3 of our lives are spent sleeping, so let's make it worth while! We will create a healthy sleep schedule to allow our brain waves to go from a beta to alpha to theta, delta and REM state to flush out toxins and organize and integrate new neural connections. With healthy sleep habits you will notice
​
increase in mood
faster reaction times
less hunger
lower blood pressure
increased immunity
better relationships
better athletic performance
decrease pain
increased memory
