For New Clients!

Picture
Manual Stretch Therapy Sessions now available in Sherman Oaks, CA. DM me for info on my current sale.
Manual stretch therapy is a pain-free, manual stretching method that upgrades mobility, increases joint space, enhances muscle activation, eliminates trigger points, and improves posture. 
I utilize hands-on stretching techniques to dramatically improve flexibility, increase range of motion, and reduce the pain or discomfort of chronic tension and tight spots. There’s also a lot of focus on creating balance and harmony to the body by allowing a parasympathetic state where one can heal, rest, and restore.
All manual stretch therapy sessions are personalized and 100% unique to your needs. 
Ready to feel and move better this year? Contact me now and we can get you started ASAP​

Languishing?

Picture
I read this article by Adam Grant last year, and he recently released a new Ted talk on the same subject. Funnily enough, I came across it right as I was finding myself in (another) bout of revenge bedtime procrastination.

I really appreciate that he discusses the feeling but also demonstrates how “flow” can be a way out of the proverbial funk. The main factors are stretching skills resulting in progress and focus or mindfulness.

Here’s the link to the Ted talk video.

Here’s the link to the original article, which also has a way to listen vs read.
​

Enjoy!​

Movement Breaks: Why, When, & How

Picture
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)

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? You’ll have access to the recording for a full week afterwards.

How many of these can raise the funds for? As you can see from the pic, every $100 we send in provides 700 meals this Thanksgiving. 

​Every person counts!
Please feel free to invite friends, family, workout buddies, or your social media community to join us. 

Tip: the easiest way to do that is to save and share the graphic below with all the info on it.
