Spring into Summer
at Force and Flow

A 7-Week Semi-Private Group Session Focused on Mobilizing, Stabilizing and Releasing the Spine

Wednesdays at 7PM, May 15 – June 26
OR
Sundays at 11:30AM, May 19 – June 30

Then you are invited to join a small group of other brilliant, creative, and inquisitive folks like yourself to experience the Force and Flow approach to holistic mind-body movement.

Our focus this session will be on our spine – our antenna to the world and the trunk that connects our sky reaching head and limbs to our roots in this world. I’ve gathered a number of incredibly potent exercises from the worlds of Yoga, Qi Gong, Pilates and beyond, and cohered them in a systematic flow focused on developing an emergent understanding through a felt sense of the dynamics of mobility, stability and release of your spine.

Hello Friends,

The smell of forsythia wafting in through my window right now is intoxicating, as is the anticipation of the warmer days and all they bring with them. I’ve been as anxious as you for the arrival of Spring, which is making a slow entrance here on the East Coast, and thrilled with every extra hour of light and degree of warmth we’ve gotten, but also relishing the slow transition of the seasons this year, which is giving me time to digest all the insights the winter months brought and to acknowledge the shedding of old skin in this Year of the Snake.

If you noticed that I’ve been on hiatus from the blog and website lately, it’s because I’ve been taking the time to take my own advice – stepping backwards, acknowledging my vulnerability, emptying out from old patterns and beliefs so that I can fill up with ones that are more aligned with where I’m going, and planting seeds, yes, a lot of planting, cultivating and tending new seeds. I’ve included the gallery of photos below to share with you some of where I’ve been, internally and externally – if you click on them individually the title will tell you what they’re about.

It’s been busy here in the studio, and I am incredibly grateful to all my clients for the opportunity to share this amazing work that I have had the privilege of studying, discovering, and articulating. The feedback from many of you has been incredible, and I am listening carefully as I engage in the process of upgrading my business so it not only serves you better, but reflects the true and enduring value of this incredible work of tuning in to our bodies and connecting to our most fundamental being.

The following post was sent to my newsletter list this past week. Join the mailing list and be the first to get useful tips, special offers and updates about studio happenings.

As 2013 rolls in and begins to hint at the tasks and adventures it has in store for me, I am taking a moment to reflect on the incredible transformations of 2012. This time last year I was packing my bags and getting ready to close the studio down for three months as I headed to Thailand in search of the next phase of my personal and professional development.

In the course of the year, I became apprenticed to Ajan Toh, a Medical Qi Gong master based in Chiang Mai, Thailand, expanded my skill base to include Chi Ne Tsang (abdominal organ massage), and continued my studies with Pichest, the Thai Massage master whom I first encountered in 2009. Since then the range and efficacy of my work has grown exponentially – from chronic pain and injury to fibroids and adrenal fatigue, acute anxiety and stress to bipolar disorder, my understanding of the body’s capacity for transformation through movement and my ability to facilitate and provide clients with the tools to bring significant change about have blossomed beyond my own expectations.
