Spring is finally here, people. Yes! The seasons are an interesting time of transition--I think the transition from winter to spring is an especially challenging time. Just when the sun comes out, it eludes us and snow falls. Just as we get out our shorts and sandals on, hail patters down on our naked toes. The more I move through life, the more I realize that life is comprised of endless transitions--not just in nature, but in our own inner lives. Transitions are both exciting and scary. One thing that movement can teach us is to be more fluid in mind, body and spirit.
I genuinely enjoy assisting others in the exploration of movement and how they can come into a more connected relationship with their bodies. I think the reason I am attracted to this work is because I struggle with finding these things in myself. Like so many others, I have injuries that cause pain. And I both crave and struggle with transitions.
I often feel that our bodies are reflective of our spirits and vice versa. If we are taking care of our bodies as best we can (which is no easy task), then our spirits will also be lifted. This doesn't mean you have to go out and train for a marathon or do a massive cleanse. No drastic means are necessary. Just try to listen to your body. It is a rewarding challenge. Acknowledge whether the body has pain and where it feels tight without judgement. Take time to engage with your body by moving it in an invigorating way, but also in a manner that addresses and honors your body's unique history. As part of your movement routine, I invite you to come and move with us in a relaxed and supportive environment.
