Fit + Free

Week of March 23, 2019

This class is for anyone who wants her forties and beyond  to feel like a continuation of her thirties.

As you’ve become more accomplished in work + life, you’re unwilling to sacrifice your health and wellbeing. And you’re coming to see that it’s all about being smarter and more intentional in your choices: movement included.

Here’s a program that lets you accomplish just that.

Through a series of centering, efficient, and easy-to-do movement lessons, re-discover joyful freedom of movement in all directions.

We’ll focus on the essential body points for a dynamo like you.  [Because, if you’re honest, it’s dawned on you that your twinge, pain, or fatigue isn’t going away on its own.]

You’ll be able to:

  • Relax your trapezius, upper back, and neck tension from time on your laptop.
  • Release stiff hips and lower back to make sitting at your desk easier.
  • Lengthen tight hamstrings so you can rock your spin class or hikes up Mt. Kuchama.
  • Free your tight shoulders to improve your beloved down-dog in yoga.
  • Unwind a clenched jaw.
  • Undo fatigue from toting kids, groceries, or even helping out your parents

Head back home with a renewed body awareness–and a repertoire of new movement habits–that will make everything on your full to-do list easier and sweeter, including your favorite yoga, pilates, and lively activities with family and friends. And, the best bliss of all, enjoy a beautiful night’s sleep because the Fit + Free method creates freedom of movement while quieting your nervous system.

You’ll love these proactive tools + approach to elegant movement, vitality, and owning it while feeling wonderful in your skin.

Fit + Free is based on the principles of the Feldenkrais movement method.
