A happy New Year to everyone and may we go safely into 2021. Let’s all resolve to “sit less—move more and more often” to promote our health. Finding a movement activity that suits you and that you will stick with might be your resolution for 2021. It doesn’t matter what, just so it is something that you enjoy. Note the articles on Mind/Body movement – Feldenkrais is a perfect fit. It teaches you to pay attention to your body and helps you learn to move in ways that are best for you at this stage in your life. For winter 2021 ALL of my classes and personal training are now online. Do join me in the safety of your own home with the props/equipment that you have available. I hope to see you online during the winter! Stay safe and well. Best wishes to all – have a healthy 2021 Jane

Already a month into 2021! I hope that you are breathing easier and continue to stay healthy. Notice the article on the Straight Leg Bridge using a stability ball. Get your ball out and give it a try! Also, this is a good time to work on your eating when we are staying home and cooking more and ordering our groceries. It is easy to choose good, nutritious foods to have in our pantries and refrigerators. Classes and private sessions will continue only online for February and March. Take advantage of this easy way to get your relaxation and fitness in without having to worry about the weather and being around others. We take a little time at the beginning and end of class to visit before getting to work.

Guidelines for outdoor classes and gyms are 10 feet apart and that is very hard to maintain in my pool. Since we are not putting our faces in, I am asking that you wear a mask, come dressed, clean the bathroom when you are done and have only 1 person in the studio at a time.
