Root & Limb

If you can watch a video longer than 3 minutes on this platform you can for sure have a daily movement practice.

😬

Words matter, like a lot.

Yes, we want to exercise safely but if we are always in protection mode we may be missing out on building capacity, strength and ability for everyday life.

Just some thoughts.

Now go move your very capable and adaptable body.

I know I know…

There are 1000 reasons why you think you can’t try video classes on your own at home.

I don’t have the discipline.
I don’t know what I’m doing.
It doesn’t feel personalized to me.

You get the discipline by accepting that, yeah, you probably won't have a clue what you’re doing in the beginning.

As you do more, you’re gonna learn more about yourself, figure out what works, build that discipline, and get stronger.

And if you have access to classes where you feel like you’re getting a tailored personal experience with a knowledgeable instructor, chef's kiss.

It’s pretty great. Seriously.

Keep your life big.
Keep doing the things you love.

And if you dealing with chronic pain, I see you.
I know it sucks.

But I encourage you to allow joyful things to keep that pain in a larger context of your life.

We might not be able to fix the arthritis, or heal an autoimmune disease completely, or take all the stress of the world away, but we can maybe get a bit more sleep, or drink a bit more water, or scroll less on here 😬

The cup analogy is not about telling people “your pain isn’t real” or that their injuries don’t matter; it’s about reminding us that our bodies are affected by our internal and external environments and experiences.

A big thanks to for this idea. I use it all the time, and it has helped so many of my clients navigate tough times with more self-compassion and grace.

What can you pour out of your cup? 👇

Done > Perfect

Perfect doesn’t exist anyway.

Show up. Do the thing.

Happy Monday!

Teacher glimmers.

Fun as a part of healing.
(Brain exploding over here…in a good way 😉)

Little reminder that fun is a part of healing.

Oh, and yeah, Pilates is actually fun too 😉💙

Have some fun moving today.
