All clients canceled, I've come down with a serious case of Cat On Lap...
Do you ever stretch and stretch and stretch your hips (or fill in the blank sore muscle) and they're still sore??
Stretching can feel great when we're stiff, BUT strength might be the more effective tool for long term relief.
Sometimes our muscles get tight when our nervous system perceives a lack of stability or strength. So you can stretch all day, but if there's not the balance of strength, you might still feel this natural tightening or bracing.
I think you'll be surprised at how quickly you feel better by adding in more strength work for your hips!
With this in mind I created the Strength, Stretch, and Self Massage 3 class bundle. The perfect blend of strength and relaxing feel good stretches and massage. Since so many of you ask for "hip stuff" you better believe I designed them to give you happy hips :-) And until Dec. 6th I am offering the classes at a HUGE 50% OFF discount.
send me a message to get 3 on demand classes at 50% off!

I've wanted to try rollerblading again, but it's kind of a pricey "let's see if I can keep from falling on my face" experiment. Lucky me, on our local "Buy Nothing" page someone was giving theirs away! I figured that my tiny kitchen, with many things to grab onto, was a good first practice spot.

Last night in my Hebrew class we had to talk for 2 continuous minutes in Hebrew and our topic was "family. "
My mom recently sent me this picture of me with my Saba and Savta in Israel, so I decided to talk about my favorite person that ever was: my Saba.
There is so much to share about him: how he was an incredible inventor, even inventing a communication component for the helmets of the IDF saving money and lives, despite having little formal education because he had to go to work so young to help support his family. How he patiently taught me the trope (singing notation) for my Bat Mitzvah. How he was so playful and warm despite having a hard life. The way he proudly showed his friends in Israel my letters in Hebrew "look what his granddaughter in America is doing! "
BUT my absolute favorite memory, and the one I shared in class last night, was our morning ritual when he would come to visit. Every morning I would wake up to find him praying by the window. I would quietly walk up beside him, and without words he would open his tallit (big prayer shawl) and wrap us both up inside of it. We would sway in this wool cocoon of love together while he finished the morning prayers. It's my forever favorite place.
While you watch the peaceful ripples of the water, feel the gentle waves of your breath.
Breathe in as you count to 5...
Breathe out as you count to 5...
Do this 5 times, and let beauty and breath wash through you. See what happens...

When your session unexpectedly becomes Puppy Pilates🤣
One welcomed surprise of this year has been how virtual sessions have unlocked even more possibilities for my clients and I. Going out of town, but don't want to miss your workout? No problem anymore!
I'm always a fan of finding creative solutions to perceived obstacles (time, injury, limitations, new to exercise, kids schedules, etc) and this whole zoom thing has really given me another tool to help us remove obstacles.
Want to get in on the fun? I have one more spot open for private sessions in September, message me for more info.

As I was walking to my apartment from my car a woman stopped me and said "do you like bread? "
I said 'I do like bread!"
and she told me "I just came from the farmers market and bought way too many loafs, would you like one? "😶
It was just the sweetest surprise and made me feel so good. I was bouncing my way home, and it reminded me of how easy it is to make someone's whole day/week with an unexpected offering of love💗
