Nourishing movement, make movement your medicine
I love movement. Even in stillness, there is always movement in your body: with your breath, the lungs, chest, diaphragm, and organs all move, and with your heart beating, blood flows. The unseen microbes are processing and moving our food and drink through our body, and hormones are being released in connection with our rhythms, […]
Movement is medicine… but why?
I am so glad you asked… Your body has evolved for movement… If it hadn’t, we wouldn’t have the joints and muscles we have.

Why do you need to strengthen your feet and ankles?
The Pilates for Beginners course started last Tuesday, and week one was about your feet and how you connect to the ground to improve movement. Each foot has 7000 nerve endings, which get desensitized when we are in shoes – the thicker the sole, the more problematic the shoe. Those nerves are meant to read […]
