Do you know your knee turns in?  And that it significantly affects pain and balance and wholeness?

Do you know your left shoulder is hiking to your ear?  And that you are telling the world you are carrying its weight and that of your luggage, and thereby increasing your own fatigue and lack of self- esteem?

Become body-wise. Discover the corporeal issues that are exacerbating your pain and fatigue.  An integrated body and soul has stamina and excitement about the world.  Reclaim a more complete self.

Because you:

~see potential in your life

~suspect time is not linear and you can change NOW

~ know change will not happen in 30 days or the span of a gym membership or p.t. prescription

~are looking for a sustainable process

~want your health, and with that,  your innate wealth

~want to know

Because you deserve Calm. Quiet. Strength.

I.   A book to read:

WEE SMALL STRETCH BOOK … 

WEE SMALL STRETCH BOOK by Kathleen. Brimming with education about breathing and muscle stretching and alignment cues, the book has information too detailed to present in visual pace in a DVD.  And you don’t have to plug it in. Or recharge it. Just pack and portage it. Take your FLEXAGILITY class on the road or home.

From the book:

…  Read the section titled ‘Stretching Essentials’ to determine general rules about enhancing flexibility. Read ‘Master Breathing’ to gain a mastery of this otherwise inevitable process. Read ‘Caveats’ as often as needed. The entire sequence of stretches in ‘The Practice’, which follows, has a logic. Often there is not time for such full theory, though. Then follow ‘Can Do Today’.

Really, though, you are encouraged to take this as a process. A process to conscious stretching. Do not feel that you have failed if you cannot hold a stretch as long as the breathing cycles will ask of you. You have not failed if you cannot hold your arms in the air for very long. Pick three stretches to start. Choose those you like. It is okay to like this work and to like moving your body and to feel good moving. Practice those three for ten days. Pick three others. You can choose any three but you don’t have to choose what order to do them in; just follow the sequence in the Practice. “Ritual should make you conscious, not bored.”
