Body Labs Movement Education for Real Bodies. The Human Body is Weird. That's the whole point.

Building confident yoga teachers through anatomical insight + nervous system education without the scalpel! I teach anatomy for movement facilitators ( yoga teacher, pilates instructors, and body nerds of all kinds) through the lens of function, curiosity, and embodied science.

Did you know "savasana" literally means co**se pose 💀

But the name isn't really about death in the spooky-halloween sense.
It actually is an invitation to consider something much more interesting...

What it feels like to be completely finished.
The body isn't stretching, strengthening, fixing, or preparing for anything. It is simply done.

And in a culture that is very committed to doing, improving, optimizing, and immediately moving on to the next thing... pausing is actually a pretty radical practice.

Which is why I thought October is the perfect time to bring back one of my favourite evenings:
Before the Dark: An Evening of Savasana & Reflection

We'll explore the strange and beautiful history of co**se pose, pklay with the difference between doing and being, make a collective mandala, share warm spiced c***r, settle into a guided meditation and finish with a long, deeply supported savasana.

With halloween and Dia de los Mu***os just around the corner, we'll also make a little space for the seasonal themes of darkness, remembrance, change and impermanace.

Before the dark, we'll pause... together.

Before the Dark | Savasana and Reflection Workshop
October 24 @ 7:00-9:00
Location: Above Average Wellness
A workshop created around the traditional meanings of Savasana (aka co**se pose). This is not about grief or even death. This is a chance to acknowledge the seasonal pause that this time of year brings, while offering you a space to have nowhere else to be.
We will explore the history of savasana and its meanings, create a mandala together, enjoy warm spiced c***r, and experience deep rest through yoga nidra & a long savasana. 😴

Dissection + Movement Labs
4 weeks Oct 27 - Nov 17 @ 7:15-9:30
Location: Private Facility in St. Albert
You've seen the diagrams & drawings. Now understand the human body.
This is a small group introduction to real human anatomy through professional cadaveric dissection recordings. There will be plenty of time to pause, ask questions, look closer, and connect what we see to how living bodies actually move.
Across the 4 labs we will look at: the body wall & core, the joints & connective tissues, the upper limb, and the lower limb. Expect each lab to be 2-2.5 hours in length.

Life will LIFE.

And it has a spectacular sense of timing. It tends to show up when we're least prepared... when our carefully constructed plans suddenly become irrelevant and our nervous system has to figure out what the hell is happening before the rest of us has caught up.

The s**t hits the fan, and meanwhile, life keeps moving.

The meeting is still on the calendar. The bills still need paying. Clients still need you. Someone still needs dinner.

And your nervous system does not paricularly care that this wasn't on the schedule. When overwhelm hits, our protective system can mobilize before our cognitive thinking is fully online. Our bodies respond before we've had a chance to fully decide how we want to respond.

I know this deeply.

I have a kiddo with a complex medical history. While her story is hers to tell, being part of her story has taught me something important about taking care of myself.

Not because I need to be perfectly regulated. Not because I should somehow stay calm through each crisis.

But because sometimes I'm a supporting character in someone else's story.

When my kiddo needs me, I need enough capacity to make decisions, advocate, listen, problem-solve, and stay present.

This doesn't mean I don't experience dysregulation... of course, I do. But it does mean I've become more interested in what happens after my nervous system has done exactly what it was designed to do.
How do I find my way back to regulation?
How do I recognize what's happening while I'm in it?
How do I support myself when there isn't an hour to go meditate, journal, take a bath, or wait until Monday when things calm down?

Because, here is the truth... life doesn't pause so that we can regulate ourselves. Your business doesn't pause when your family needs you. Your relationships don't pause when work gets hard.

Life keeps on LIFE-ing.

I believe that understanding ourselves well enough that when life inevitably knocks us on our ass, we have more capacity to meet what is happening, respond to what is actually needed, and eventually find our way back to ourselves.

That's a big part of why Jillian Schecher and I created Recalibrate. Not to teach you how to stay calm through every storm life brings. That isn't reality.

But as a space to explore what it means to live, lead, care for others, build things, and make decisions while having a nervous system that is going to respond to all of it.
