Can your body do these 3 things?

Hello Reader, Here are 3 movement markers that research connects to a longer, healthier life: 1. Balance 2. Mobility 3. Grip strength ✨ Try these out today. Notice what feels easy, and where you might want to build more capacity. For me? Balance and mobility are no problem. I can breeze through those tests. But grip strength is another story. Living with rheumatoid arthritis has dramatically changed mine over the years. And you know what? That’s okay. These markers aren’t about passing or failing; they’re about noticing where your body needs support. That’s where coaching comes in. My work is helping people build strength, balance, and confidence in ways that fit their body and not someone else’s standard. Because longevity really isn’t just about living longer, it’s about living well. 👉 If you’re curious what this could look like for you, take a look over HERE to explore 1:1 movement coaching. And you know I always love to hear from you, so hit reply and tell me which test you rocked and which one needs a little work. Until next time, take very good care. With heart, P.S. There is still space in my Beginner Pilates series this September, if you're looking for 6 weeks of committed action.

I loved nuance and detail but wasn’t interested in perfection. I was a yogini who found spirituality no matter what the...
Hello Reader,I want to tell you a story about a moment from the other day with one of my students. We were moving along, doing an exercise we’ve done a zillion times, when all of a sudden there was a fissure. Something cracked open, and my student stopped, tears in her eyes. "I don’t know what’s happening," she said. "I don’t know why I’m crying." ✨ By the way — this happens all the time. ✨ If you’ve ever cried in a movement class, you are not alone. I’ve been witness to it since my very...
Hello Reader,Your core is more than just muscles coordinating. It’s the centre of your being—the place where you align not only with yourself but also with the world around you. For many, awareness of this place is limited, both physically and spiritually. And if the word spiritual makes you want to hit eject, hold tight. A while back, I shared a newsletter on different types of awareness: intercorporeality, proprioception, exteroception, and interoception. These aren’t “woo” concepts. They...
