23.01.2022 Alexander and The Feldenkrais Method. Whats the difference?

Need help with that? *Most women dont think about their pelvic floor until they become pregnant.... *Maybe you searching for specific pelvic floor exercises because you are preparing for birth. *Perhaps you have your baby and have noticed that down there isnt working the same as it once did. *Maybe sometimes you wet your pants a little when you cough or laugh. Now that your pelvic floor has your attention. Comment below to get your Little Pelvic Floor playbook download that will help you; Learn to emphasise the use of the pelvic floor with other muscles in the hips, legs and torso, as part of a coordinated system. Helping stop the little accidents.

20.01.2022 The other day I saw a post. Can someone come and bully me into going to the gym. I this brings up what I believe is worrying about the fitness industry. And completely ridiculous way of thinking about fitness and exercise.... The fitness industry has created a culture that has conditioned us to think that we should exercise in a gym, lift weights or jump around in an exercise class to get fit. We think that 30 mins of exercise 3 times a week will counteract our sedentary lifestyle. That it will take care of all-out fitness needs. Movement is way more important than exercise. Training your body doesn't have to fit into a box. Our bodies don't need to be pushed and pulled by strengthening or stretching muscles into a shape the fitness culture has defined us sexy. Movement can be climbing a tree, playing a game of ball or walking in nature. There are so many ways to move that will get your heart rate up and move your muscles. There shouldn't be a should in wanting to move your body, you shouldn't have to be bullied into moving for your health and fitness. Movement is fundamental to life. Life is meant to be fun and enjoyable. Find a movement practice you enjoy doing doesn't be caught up in the cultural conditioning of thinking the only way to get fit is to join a gym. Go find a playground and climb, take a kite to the beach, or grab your bestie and have a run around with a ball, play hopscotch or climb walls.

17.01.2022 To move smarter and more efficiently as a result of attending to yourself with Awareness Through Movement Lessons so that you can feel better, move with less effort and live your amazing life. And To navigate a rapidly changing and uncertain world together, so that we can better process our emotions, deepen our self compassion, and gain a better understanding of ourselves.

17.01.2022 Movement Myth #1: Im hurting because Im getting old. Its not about age or wear and tear on the body. It's the way you use yourself. ... Your habitual movement patterns that have been developed over the course of your life are now telling you something is out of alignment. You are not using your skeleton the most efficient and effortless way you can. Your movement habits are formed after a trauma to the body, injury or psychological. The nervous system sets the movement pattern it into the body so that we didn't feel pain at that time. That's how smart the nervous system is. Problem is the habit remains long after the pain has gone. Changing the habits of how you use your skeleton will help change the pain. There are many older people that still move well. Its your choice to not listen to your body when it is talking to you. Everyone has the capacity to heal their own bodies. Movement is fundamental to life. We have come to understand what we eat affects us. Why dont we look at how we move? Not just in terms of fitness, building strength and flexibility but how our skeleton responds to gravity and how it moves from position to position.

17.01.2022 How would you explain The Feldenkrais Method in simple terms?

17.01.2022 Future goals. First learn to play ping-pong. PS....its not really Bruce Lee.

16.01.2022 Today I'm speaking with someone that inspired me for a few years now. Sonja Johansson is a fellow Feldenkrais colleague and a Pilates teacher. Who fuses the two styles together. She has also recently joined my online marketing coaching program, we have some exciting events planned for the near future. Keep a lookout for our next interview where we will share more about her amazing work. This is the third episode of the Awareness in Motion podcast interview series. Previou...s interviews with Yoga Therapist Kristen Boyle and Feldenkrais and Alexander teacher David Hall. My intention with these interviews is to share about other movement methods. That are complementary to The Feldenkrais Method. Learn more about their similarities and differences. About Sonja Johansson - Movement Educator Sonja began formal ballet training at the age of six and pursued a career in dance and theatre, hoping that art could lead to life-changing experiences for an audience and change the way people think for the better. She soon realized that performance had limited outcomes but having been introduced to the Feldenkrais Method at college, recognized that helping people fine-tune their proprioceptive sense and become aware of their habits was a more powerful tool for liberating and optimizing the body and mind, regardless of age, experience or ability. Sonja holds certifications in the Feldenkrais Method, Pilates, Bones for Life/Walk for Life, Nordic Walking, Personal Training, TRx, and Neuromuscular Reeducation with Irene Dowd. She has been a dedicated student of Anatomy and Kinesiology for almost 30 years. "Feldenkrais Pilates on a Roller" Want to try this hybrid system?

15.01.2022 When the skeletal system is out of alignment, the muscular system has to work overtime to keep your body upright. So much back pain could be alleviated or cured if we could find a way for the skeletal system to do its job better, letting the muscles find neutral, resting length. Its the bones that give us clarity of form. The muscles simply propel them through space. Smart movements can work wonders to increase awareness and remind the body how its supposed to work. ... Awareness Through Movement Lessons can help align the skeleton

15.01.2022 Interesting. Gives duck face selfies a new perspective

11.01.2022 How to Avoid Overwhelmed When Creating Content Forever As someone who is running two online businesses. My Feldenkrais Practice and my Marketing Coaching. I have LOTS of content to create, programs and so many ideas. I want to share them all with my audience. What works for me is to FOCUS on one thing at a time.... 1. Decide on one main platform. LinkedIn or Facebook? LinkedIn is a fantastic tool. This platform is where Facebook was 8 years ago. Only 1% of people post a min. of once a week. That means if you post more than once a week you are part of the 1%, your posts are likely to be seen. Facebook, on the other hand, is great for conversation. Your Business page is like a website for consumers to check out your offers but the algorithm makes it hard to get your posts seen. Point 2 should help. 2. Create Valuable Content Create regular, useful content that you can share with your audience. You may want to use a blog post or create short videos, (you could even reuse the same content in all these different formats) it will depend on your audience and what you have got to say. Content should be high quality, relevant and planned. Do you plan your content? GET IT DONE 2-hour of power session THIS WEEK to access this find the link below to the Brand Audit Survey. 2. Use one other channel Select and use one other channel that is relevant to your audience. If you like taking photos, you may want to use Instagram to share high-quality images, aspirational images, if you want to converse, then Twitter may be the one for you. Or maybe blogging or video might be your other channel which you can share to your LinkedIn or Facebook. Find out about the difference in all the platforms in my Content Creation Masterclass you get as a free gift when you take the Brand Audit Survey below So in summary, I would recommend you use a few digital marketing channels really well rather than spreading yourself too thin and always ensure you plan your activities against your overall marketing objectives.

11.01.2022 I bet you are a bit like me. You have goals. You have ambition. You want a lifestyle.... You want a successful course launch. You want to impact the world But you are also overwhelmed, busy and worried about what you can deliver. I bet you are a bit like me You want to help as many people as possible with your transformational offer, you know that what you offer can change people’s lives. Having seen results in your current clients' results you know what you provide works. You took your business online Before you make up your mind.about the Online Marketing Growth Bootcamp for Movement Professtionals Let me share with you a case study. Sandy has been working with me for the past 6 weeks. She came to me because she was so frustrated with the other online courses and programs she had invested in before. They hadn’t worked even though these coaches and programs were some of the best in the industry. What was the main frustration for Sandy is that online marketing coaches did not understand her profession. She spent most of her time teaching them about The Feldenkrais Method. What Sandy has been the best part about working with me is I get it. I know The Feldenkrais Method and I know about online marketing. I too had a similar problem when I started out. My first coach never learnt how to say Feldenkrais, she called it Feldenarts. She was brilliant at what she did but had no idea about how to uniquely position what I offer in the marketplace. What is unique about Online Marketing Growth Bootcamp is the community that has been joining the program are all professionals in the Feldenkrais community or movement professionals. The conversations we have as a group inspire us to get our voices heard. Are you a practitioner taking your practice online? Are you like Sandy and me? Investing in coaches who don’t understand what you bring to the table? Do you want to reach more people with your transformational offers? What you will discover is the online world can be a lonely place. What’s holding you back from joining a community of like-minded professionals all on the same path to building a sustainable online business. The bonuses for Online Marketing Growth Bootcamp 9-months extended support throughout 2021 = $6000 As we all know 12-weeks can go VERY quickly. There is lots to learn. With an extra 9 months of coaching calls and support to implement what you learn. EXTRA Bonus if paid upfront 2 extra 1 to 1 calls. =$1000 In total that means you get 4 support calls with me to handhold you through your technology set up. Next time I launch I may not be offering 1 to 1 support. That’s $7000 of value!

10.01.2022 Stretching does not lengthen a muscle. Get educated on what the current scientific research has found. 1 of 7 - ways to stretch safely.without going into a detailed description of the research let me give you an overview of how to stretch safely. ... TIP 1: Don't consider stretching a warmup. You may hurt yourself if you stretch cold muscles. Before stretching, warm up with light walking, jogging or biking at a low intensity for five to 10 minutes. Even better, stretch after your workout when your muscles are warm. Keep stretching if it feels good. But if you're serious about helping yourself move easier without damaging your body update your knowledge. Awareness Through Movement lessons will increase your flexibility without damaging your body. Currently my students are doing the Froggy Series to open up the hips and increase flexibility without stretching or straining. Check the event section on this page for more details. Want more details let me know and I will reach out to you personally.

09.01.2022 You move differently when you have back pain, the way you move is part of the problem. It's a normal response, that would just be a temporary adjustment, but what happens is it becomes a habit and it starts to cause other problems. Maybe you're: using too much effort your breathing is restricted ... maybe you're using one area to much or not enough in another area Each part of your spine is made to do different movements. People with lower back pain usually dont move very much in the thoracic spine. The lumbar area is made to do flexion and extension. The thoracic spine does many other things saying "dont twist in the areas it is designed to twist in will only put more pressure on other areas. Through exploration and practice, you will find embodied learning can help ease your lower back pain. Do you want to discover have to reduce lower back pain for yourself? Try my 5 short audios.

09.01.2022 In 2006, Kibler defined core stability as the ability to control the position and motion of the trunk over the pelvis to allow optimum production, transfer and control of force and motion to the terminal segment in integrated athletic activities. The problem with this definition is that it is often taken to mean that rigidity of the trunk equals stability. It implies that if we train muscles harder to create stiffness around the spine it will mean we have good core stabili...ty. This is a myth. True core stability is dependent on a complex interplay between movement and stiffness. It is not about doing hundreds of sit ups, getting a six-pack or being able to hold a plank position for three minutes although these do have their purposes. For instance, core stability for ballet dancers is fine coordination of postural and outer muscles to allow controlled mobility of the pelvis and spine with movement, rather than bracing in one spot.

08.01.2022 It’s been a busy week. Launching my new community. Movement Online Academy. Scheduling the first fireside chats with guest speakers Sonja Johansson is first. Pilates and Feldenkrais Fusion... Do you want to know the difference between Pilates and Feldenkrais?

07.01.2022 You know when ALL the things go wrong and you suddenly go from calm to stressed in 60 seconds? That was me yesterday, when I realized had sent an email from the last BAM video launch with links to the old videos, I was sitting up in bed for the first time in 72 hours since I have been struggling with a cold this past week, so sick I had even lost my voice and before I knew it there was. A tightness in my chest and I felt out of control.... Here's what I did: 1. Took a deep breath 2. Reviewed the links you were sent 3. Decided to email those signed up today. What do you do when you are stressed? The reason I got so stress is Im doing this BAM for a balanced body and life video series launch a little differently with all new videos. Those signed up will be rewarded for leveling up your knowledge and learning about how doing regular Feldenkrais lessons can benefit you. After running the Bodyfulness program I thought about how I can best serve those who sign up for my free offers. I know many people sign up for free with the best intentions for being present and active, then life happens and they dont engage and therefore miss out on the benefits. FREE is not really Free, it does require an investment in time. I love sharing free stuff. The problem is I care so much about your transformation and feel sad for you when you dont show up for yourself. Are you sign up for BAM? Will you show up for yourself?

06.01.2022 My little army of men dont have a Dad. Since the moment they were born they had one parent, me. I'm fortunate to have my extended family to help me with my boys, and an amazing partner. Which I'm forever grateful for. Any single parent would understand, it still gets tough on the days when you're not feeling the best. Shout out to the men who step up and parent the children that arent biological theirs. Happy Fathers Day to you. ... I have found ways to make life easier. I learnt very quickly when I can go full steam and when I have to take things a little slower. What tasks have to be done, what can be left to later or delegated. My advice to any single parent running a business: First acknowledge the amazing job you do, secondly dont get caught up in thinking how you think things should be.

03.01.2022 Happy New Year

03.01.2022 I made a commitment this year to help others show up powerfully in their business and share their unique gifts with the world. In the past, I struggled with communicating my unique gifts with the world: helping people improve their movement as you see on this page. I thought everyone could benefit from Feldenkrais. That all I had to do was start telling people and sharing about the benefits. ... I built freebie offers, ran over 8 Facebook challenges (maybe you did one of them), built campaigns, wrote email sequences, created content, wrote blogs, filmed videos, and created Facebook ads. Time after time people didnt understand what I was communicating, they took my comments on their posts the wrong way. Ive been told Im too salesy. My Freebie Offers were getting leads but not the sales I thought I could be getting. Ive invested tens of thousands in learning and understanding the psychology of sales, branding, and how to build relationships online. How to craft emails, script videos, and the difference between cold, warm, and hot leads, how you need to craft your message for each audience. I teach everything Ive learned, including the technology set up in my 12-week Online Marketing Growth Bootcamp. For some, the investment may be out of the reach for now. This is why I have created the Brains Trust Masterclass Series. To be a place for people to learn online marketing to learn from experts at a minimal investment. Bringing together in the one place those people whose skills helped me get to where I am now. Storytelling Email Marketing Video For a very limited time, you can join the Masterclass series for less than a good meal out. Today and Tomorrow only. Before our next guest expert teacher joins us this Sunday. Check the link below for details.
