Print off your workbook, get your equipment ready for the weeks to come!

Having a stabile, mobile, strong and fully functional 'CORE' seems to be a lost art in rehabilitation, training, and sport, as society focuses on quicker, better, faster in all aspects of their life. Technology changes, etc.., but our bodies are still designed to work the same as it did on the day we were born. After years of working with patients and clients, I have noticed that we always start back at the same basic "Foundations". This corrects the basic movements of your body, so you can both feel & function to your full potential. Then you can integrate this knowledge into every other exercise, activity or sport you desire to maximize your performance and prevent future injuries.

This week is all about learning and creating a little awareness!

How is everyone making out?  Where are you tending to spend your time?  Learning?  Reading?  Procrastinating?  Gonna start tomorrowing (is that a word)?  Where ever you are at, it's all good and there is no better time to create awareness than RIGHT NOW!!

This week we are taking on a movement class - focusing on how to use a wall to create better connection to your stability.  
- For those that are on top of your homework - try it out!
- For those that have yet to start their homework - try it out!

Notice which moves, positions are harder than others.  This is all important information to take note of because all of a sudden things will be come easy that were once hard!!  

That's where the magic happens. 

We are about to enter the simple but not easy work - once you have worked on the awareness homework of noticing your breath.

We will learn where you may hold tension and learn how to release some of it.  Next week we will be moving into how to move past the tension once you find it!

Remember noticing 'nothing' is still noticing something!

Happy Breathing and Discovering!

This is almost always an indication that the function of that area is not what it should be.  So let's help change it shall we?  

This week we will be working on creating better function of your diaphragm using your breath and some props for awareness through movement and of course your breath!

There is lots to learn in these 3 exercises so be patient as each time you do them new awareness with come, even if that means no change and little awareness it all counts!!

This is what helps you to discover what actually works for you and the impact of your efforts!

Now that you have spent some time discovering and exploring and then a little retraining and awakening its time to notice what happened!

Go in with a clear mind and re-discover your awareness.

Revisit your struggles, did anything change?  Notice what changed from the first time you went through the movement class?  Did you discover anything new? A change in awareness?  Nothing at all?
