Welcome to Welcome to Your Body.
In this opening class, I introduce you to the program and how to move through it.
The classes are designed to be taken in order. Each one builds on the next and the progression is very intentional. There is a reason behind every movement and the sequence in which things are introduced.
Some classes will resonate with you immediately and you may repeat them many times. Others may not feel as relevant right now and that is completely fine. Every body is different and everyone arrives here with their own structure, habits, and history.
You can take several classes in a row or spread them out throughout your week. Move at a pace that allows you to absorb the work rather than rushing through it.
We begin by bringing you back into your body and out of your head. You will learn how to reconnect to what you feel, becoming aware of what is happening in your body and calming the nervous system.
From there we begin retraining the body to move in a more functional way so your core can support you without overcompensation.
Then we explore alignment. You will learn where each part of the body ideally lives in relationship to the others while releasing the tension that pulls your structure out of place.
Finally we begin building strength to support this new organization in the body. This carries into everything from how you lift your arm to how you sit, stand, and move throughout your day.
It is completely normal if some of this does not fully make sense at first. Everyone absorbs information differently and things will become clearer as the classes progress.
The program begins simply and gradually builds toward more strengthening work, but the fundamentals are essential.
Do not skip them.
The foundation we build together is where the real transformation happens.
