4/1/2023 New Mobility Group Class in Person! Neck & shoulders stiff after a long week?
. Let’s roll it out together! . Mobility class on Saturdays @ Helix gym in Sherman Oaks. 11:30am .  Pilates Leg Series on the Half Roller In under 10 minutes, challenge your core, increase your hip strength, and increase your mobility. I’m using a half roller in the video, but you could also use a coregeous ball, yoga block, full foam roller etc etc… If you feel any discomfort, try reducing your range of motion or adjusting the placement of whichever prop you are using under your pelvis. You can check out the video here, it can be rented on it’s own or included in your monthly membership. https://momence.com/p/119071  My video library is extensive and there’s a handy search tool to help you find whatever you need. Foam rolling, stretching sequences, Pilates workouts, and more. Every class recording from the last few years is also included. It’s ALL in there....

11/20/2020 Movement Breaks: Why, When, & How Why?
Here are just a few solid reasons... 1. They reduce stiffness and tension in your body from being “sedentary” i.e. not moving, or in one position for a period of time like sitting or standing at your desk, driving, even resting on your couch 2. It increases productivity! (not sure about this one? check out the Pomodoro technique, it’s real thing!) 3. Physical movement can get you out of the stress cycle, even if the actual stressor isn’t going away! (helloooo covid!) Here’s a great podcast on that topic. brenebrown.com/podcast/brene-with-emily-and-amelia-nagoski-on-burnout-and-how-to-complete-the-stress-cycle/ When? According to the Pomodoro method, it’s ideal to take a 5 minute break after every 25 minute block of work and then after about 4 of those cycles you take a full 15-20 minute break. There’s loads of free apps that you can set the timers on, I just use the timer in my phone. I encourage you to play around with that timing to make it work for you! Depending on the day, the task, and my focus I might need to do longer or shorter work periods and/or breaks. The important thing is to actually take the (relatively) frequent movement breaks! How? 5 easy & free ways to take a movement break 1. Make a list of small, short mindless tasks that take 5 minutes or less that require getting up, changing where your eyes are focusing, and moving around. 2. Try some HIIT style intervals using simple movements like Squats, Jumping Jacks, or Leg Kicks for 30 seconds then 10 seconds of walking or marching in place. In 5 minutes, you should be able to get through about 7 cycles with a short cool down. (don’t forget to hydrate!) 3. Do a standing version of the hundred series breaths. Pulse your arms with each breath as you inhale for 5 breaths and exhale for 5 breaths. Try lifting one foot off for the the first half, then the other for the second half. 4. Have a dance party! Play a song you love and get dancing…or at least away from your desk and moving your body. 5. Do my neck & shoulder video on you tube. If you’ve been sitting, try it standing. If you’ve been standing, try it seated! or keep trying different ideas until you find your faves! I promise you’ll feel better on so many levels and your body will love you for it. I’d love to hear how it goes! (email me) 11/6/2020 November Community Roll Out! Let’s talk about the upcoming Community Roll Out! We’re going to do some Saturday afternoon foam rolling together (via zoom) and then donate all the profits to St. Mary’s Food Bank here in Phoenix 💫 If you don’t know much about all the wonderful work they do, please check them out @stmarysfoodbank or https://www.firstfoodbank.org/give/ Can’t attend live?

Things we will cover: - General strategies & tips on how to approach using the foam roller effectively - How to avoid common mistakes and avoid injuries or preventable soreness - Specific exercises with lots of options or modifications for a full body experience - Question & answer time at the end of the class *You will have access to a recording of the class for 1 week after it meets live so that you can focus on feeling and learning as we go, then review the information afterwards.* What You’ll Need: - Plenty of open floor space - I suggest a thin yoga mat, especially if you’ll be on a hard floor. - Some other padding or supportive surfaces around like a few towels, blankets, or blocks. - 1 Moderate Foam Roller (definitely not firm, and soft may not give you enough resistance) Here’s my favorite: Optp Foam Roller- comes in blue or green Here's a solid choice at a lower price point: AXIS Standard Foam Roller- silver Questions? click here to contact me Want to Register Now? click here 4/9/2020 0 Comments Group Classes Via Zoom I received an email from the City of Tempe where they notified us that all events and classes are officially canceled until the end of May.
