Mindfulness: Why Your Life Depends On It

Mindfulness isn’t just the province of yogis, gurus, and meditators. Being mindful belongs to all of us. It should be a part of our everyday life and movement. Most of us go through our physical lives on auto-pilot. We do a lot of thinking but not about our physical and static moving. Meditating or even… Continue reading Mindfulness: Why Your Life Depends On It

Don’t Blame Running For Your Injuries.

Check Your Alignment (and your hamstrings). At the beginning of one of my yoga classes last month, I asked my students if they had any injuries, aches, or pains that they were currently managing. One student responded that her right knee had been aching, but that it was nothing new. “I’m a former runner,” she… Continue reading Don’t Blame Running For Your Injuries.

How One Leg Can Be Shorter Than the Other and Cause Real Pain

Muscle pain, myofascial pain, always has a cause, and it’s often structural. When a joint is out of place, out of position, the muscles adapt to that new position. Or if a muscle is injured, other muscles take over and do a pretty good job…for a while. That adaptability is what has allowed us to… Continue reading How One Leg Can Be Shorter Than the Other and Cause Real Pain

Get Rid Of Bunions & Foot Pain Without Surgery.

No Such Thing As “No Time” to Exercise: What To Do If You’re “Too Busy”

I never have enough time to get everything done. A while back, I asked almost every client, “What would bring the largest jump in quality to your physical health?” I got 22 solid replies and 15 of them were the same. “I need more time”. Obviously, I’m not alone. There are only so many hours… Continue reading No Such Thing As “No Time” to Exercise: What To Do If You’re “Too Busy”

Don’t Just Sit There, Do Something!

Everyone I know talks about how little he sits. However, almost all of his friends, enemies, personal trainers, therapists, doctors, and other third parties all talk about how much he sits! Bottom line, there’s a huge disconnect between how much we think we sit and how much time we actually spent sitting. Most of us… Continue reading Don’t Just Sit There, Do Something!

We don’t have to do anything that dramatic but the tricks of the trade are there for us to use. If you watched the Winter… Continue reading Learn How to Fall Safely

Stride Into Spring!

Spring is upon us and with the longer days and melting snow, we can’t wait to get outside. What I love the most about Spring is the beauty of nature in bloom.
