Every day, Monday through Saturday I roll out of bed to wake up with you in breath and movement.
And you know, this work is really about presence and availability and creativity.

Every day, Monday through Saturday we wake the breath and the body and the mind together. We move in three plane of the spine’s functional ability, thus prepared to encounter every movement demand of our day. Lifting a child, mowing a lawn, exiting a truck, washing a floor, moving luggage, skipping over a puddle, reaching for a loose receipt in the back seat, smooching your lover, walking a dog, removing a coffee cup from the shelf, every move we make arises from the spine. We wake up the three planes of spinal movement.

Six days a week we wake the breath to fill the vessel of the body and to guide us into movement and stillness and movement.

Every day we move, we include the activation of lymphatic channels, moving the lymphatic fluid by opening the “gates.” These somatic gates can close for a variety of reasons including injury, too much sleep or not enough, allergies and immune responses, dehydration, dysfunctional movement or movement’s lack. We open the gates with light palpation and stroking fingers, allowing the movement of lymphatic fluid its return to the blood supply, ultimately filtered of its immune-gathered debris. From thoracic ducts into the heart, from the limbs and skull we open the gates and thereby invite every cell of the body to awaken and to function. To open the gates is to jump start metabolism. Open the gates, tell your body “yes.” You can feel the tingle and glow.
