Creating Your Personal Movement Practice

Morning Wake Up

Just as our four legged friends stretch their bodies upon arising, so can we clear that morning stiffness. Each morning we can re-enliven our body landscape by streaming our body weight through this triangular shape.

Drink In The Morning Light

We are absorptive beings that need sunshine, air, water, and nutrients to thrive. Give yourself a few minutes of morning light exposure to boost your energy and eyesight.

Catch Your Breath

In the bustle of your day, you might notice your breath becoming tighter as you try to keep pace with the world. Our breath is a sensitive monitor indicating our stress levels. We can easily restore our inner harmony and comfort by cultivating our breath in this Calming Crossover exploration.

A Brief Rest

Gently begin with calling your attention back into your body so you can catch up with your present needs. Often we allow our attention to be hijacked or scattered, leading us away from the inner ground of our being. You can begin your practice with a brief rest by propping up your legs, covering your eyes, and enjoying your waves of breath. You simply come home to yourself and enjoy this present moment.

Transition Yourself for Sleep

The pace and stress of your day directly influence the quality of your sleep. If you find yourself charged up from a busy day, you can wash away the impact by engaging in this restorative lying twist. Then you will be ready for a restful and regenerative sleep.

Create Your Practice Space

Your movement space can be as simple as a mat, blanket, or even your bed. Ideally you will create a space that is quiet, warm, and nurturing. When you secure a personal movement space, it becomes a welcoming call to return to the joy of movement.

Compile Your Movement Journal

Gradually you will collect satisfying movements in the Everyday Movement classes that you can add to your practice. Record them in a notebook to keep track of those that feel especially nourishing to you. Eventually you will have a palette of movements from which to choose.
