Ever feel exasperated before beginning anything, especially an exercise or self-care regime? Have you ever wanted to improve your posture but felt like you were too far gone or you simply didn’t know where to start?

I can relate because that was me when I began my Bodyssey, although I didn’t know that’s what it was-the ongoing, extended journey of learning to inhabit my body. Here’s the thing… It does take time to establish an exercise habit and see the results, It takes time to uncover postural compensations and to reorganize your body to achieve greater comfort and an aesthetic that pleases you. Why? You may wonder. It is because these are things you learn through your body.

Body-based learning is a gradual process that unfolds over time, just like aging, which happens gradually but somehow feels fast. Adding simple hacks to your daily life to foster physical change may feel insignificant in the moment yet before you know it you realize you have been transforming your life through your body! My own Bodyssey is one of the most satisfying journeys of my entire life and it’s far from complete, which is good news! At the Be Sanctuary I continue to curate classes and I aim to be the kind of teacher I always wanted in this endeavor; leading with practical, applicable and sensible tips to feel better and grow more into myself. And I’d be happy to support you too! And know this to be true as well…

Postural tending pays BIG dividends and not just for your physical well- being. If you have ever experienced or are experiencing…. -Holding tension -Collapse from fatigue or low tone in your body -Anxiety -Depression -Hopelessness -Fretting -Overwhelm -Agitation -Rigidity -Instability -Disorganized thinking

I want to invite you to my Bodyssey small group sessions on Saturdays in May from 9:30-10:45 am, $25/ class, and drop-ins are welcome with a pre-registration requirement. The classes are often customized to meet the needs of whoever shows up and we all gain more awareness, insight and greater comfort in our bodymind when we practice together. I hope to see you there!
