Hey Everyone,
I know I haven't posted in... um... a while... I'm hoping to fix that this year. I wanted to start the year off with a handy reference for some stretches I do when I'm travelling by plane. Save this video so you can keep Moving Well while you are travelling!

A little more slowing down from the hills of New Zealand! This is the second video filmed at Earth Energies NZ and it's more of a slow Yin class. Great if you need to chill out a bit before bed!
Check out the video on Patreon or the Chalk Move Well You Tube Channel.

A new class to finish out the year! New Zealand is beautiful and I wanted to share a little of the wonderful experience I had there by filming a couple of classes from the cabin.

Special thanks to Marie & Duncan at the Earth Energies Sanctuary Earth Energies NZ for the amazing experience and allowing me to capture this class.

You can watch the class from Patreon or from the Chalk Move Well YouTube Channel.

Learning to Live the Journey

This blog post is entirely a personal reflection on my journey over the last two years. There is no science here, nothing about anatomy or movement. Simply me sharing my story.

What is a thoughtful movement pattern? Taking into account some basic anatomy allows us to understand our own bodies and movement possibilities better. It empowers us to make smart decisions about how we can modify movements to that they best fit the needs and limitations of the current state of our body. It is more than just being aware or "mindful" of how we are moving, it helps us to interpret and adapt to the information we are becoming aware of.

You may have noticed that my Restorative Moves classes are not what you might expect from a restorative yoga or yin yoga class. You still come out feeling lighter and more open, but we get there with a little bit of muscle integration at the same time. There is a reason for that...
Most of us are not training to be contortionists, but even they would tell you that it requires a lot of strength to support that kind of mobility.

Need to chill out after a long week?
Head over to the YouTube channel (links from my FB page) and find some space on your mat for an hour to unwind. Leave the week on the other side of your mat and ease into your weekend!

The September Restorative Moves You Tube Video is up!

A little bit of strengthening to give us a foundation for healthy mobility. This is an all over restorative class incorporates a lot of side body opening. The muscles and fascia through the midsection of the body give us stability by helping us to distribute forces between the upper and lower body. A combination of gentle muscular engagement and thoughtful movement patterns helps to improve the distribution of movement through this area. The pace and rhythm of the class is calm, giving you space to focus on your body, and let everything else stay outside your mat.
