Sure, I don't have the potential to have something big and round on my rear. But I do have the potential to have something modest and round, something other than flat. For my whole-body health, it's essential that I exercise that potential.

Get more out of your move, whether it's a move across the country or a move off the couch.

You ever wake up in the morning and feel like your low back is all stiff or there's a twinge in the mid back? Here's a quick tutorial on how to make it stop.

You need to move. It helps you meet your basic biological needs. And enhance your relationships. And deepen your sense of community. And grow in love. And be available for the big questions in life.

Everything that follows will not only help you restore your outdoorsy wild; it's going help you restore your indoor wild, too, if you catch my drift. ;)

It's not just today we need to be looking out for when we are choosing between the floor and a chair, when we are choosing between corrective exercises and stiffer shoe, when we are choosing between sitting on the sacrum or rolling the pelvis forward, when we are choosing between a walk and mindless time on the internet.

It's tomorrow, too. 

If you're like almost every single client or student of mine, then my guess is that when you think you are *fixing* your hyperkyphosis and your internal rotation and the glummyness in your shoulder girdle, what you are really doing is *HIDING* it.

Is a desire to "get it just right" interfering with the ability to just "get it"?

Have you run into those limits in yourself? Those places where maybe you freak out about your body? Or you lose your shit with your partner or kid? Or you punish yourself in some way or another?

The second child in as many years left my body unexpectedly this last week. This time, when I realized I was miscarrying, I spent time thinking about what I wanted this experience to be like. Or rather, who I wanted to be in this experience. How I wanted to show up to it.

Our feet are important. They contain 1/4 of all the bones in the body and an absurd amount of joints, muscles, ligaments and tendons. For most of us, they are the primary way we have of moving our bodies across the earth.

Have you experienced something in your body that fills you with fear and pain and a sense of failure? Have you felt so angry at how your body has betrayed you? Have you felt so hopeless and demoralized?

What if better sex was about better connection with yourself?

So here we are at the playground and a pre-school group shows up to play - mostly 4 and 5 year olds. Three girls come over to my son and wonder why he's not wearing shoes. One informs me that it's dangerous for him to be barefoot.

Most of us, due the the lifestyle habits we have - anyone on a device right now?! ;) - have limitations in our shoulder girdles, chests and backs that alter our breathing mechanics. The good news is that we can start working on that immediately. I made you a quick video to help you get started:

I realized this week that there are some things that I take for granted, that I tend to assume every other movement teacher already has or does or is. It turns out a few things combine into a unique alchemy in me.

What's your purpose for doing the classic runner's quad stretch? Quad lengthening is what most of us are after. But what if your quad stretch isn't really doing that? Come explore in this video post.

Maybe you hurt, feel scared, or doubt you have what it takes to really start living IN your body. Things aren't working. Maybe you are tired of trying to change. Maybe you are afraid of change.
