Hello Reader, What do you do with grief? Do you freeze up and hold your breath? Most of us have some kind of physical response to grief. But we’re rarely taught how to be with it. That’s why movement can be such a powerful companion to loss. Grief can be tender or wild, sharp or foggy. Movement—thoughtful, honest movement—can help you stay connected to yourself inside it all. Still breathing. I’ll be co-hosting a special circle with Susie Ruth, an end-of-life doula and grief specialist, to hold space for all of this in our upcoming Moving With Grief workshop.

Hello Reader,You know, I’ve always been a little bit on the fringe. Growing up, my friends would definitely describe me as the “weird one.” When I was first learning to teach movement, I knew I needed a special kind of teacher. I didn’t fit the mold of what Pilates teachers looked like back then (20 years ago). I didn't really care about my lineage back to Joseph Pilates. 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...
