Hello everyone, it is great to have so many new people in here. WELCOME! We are looking forward to the class this afternoon where we will be focusing on the feet and legs. Comment below and let us know if you're coming along LIVE. You won't need any equipment, just log on at 4pm AWST through the link on our calendar page. See you there!

Is anyone else getting sentimental when they realise we're at the 10 day countdown to graduation? Also, I'm excited for Q&A this week because I've accumulated some (relevant) stories and metaphors. ( @Glenn Robson / @Emma Robson - if you were to reveal the topic ahead of time I could order these ideas to be more coherent!! And decrease my anxiety of repeating the "what does functional mean to you?" "Being able perform said function" sess)

Hey All, We are out of town and had planned to run our live class as per usual however the wifi situation is not as good as we hoped. The yoga studio doesn’t get signal only the reception area. We will not be going live this afternoon. We will record and upload the class instead and it will go straight into the Movement Class Recordings folder. It will be there by 4pm. Sorry about the last minute alteration. Please comment or like this post so we know you’ve seen it :) Have a great week! Emma and Glenn

Sometimes we do things and get unexpected outcomes, pleasantly surprised by changes. Maybe we weren’t seeking these things specifically, or perhaps we were caught up searching for a different result that we were blindsided. Either way, it’s a lovely thing and it feeds the trust in the human body being a complex system. An example for me this week, a positive surprising result; since I stopped teaching regular classes and face to face PT my daily movement has significantly decreased in terms of variety and quality. I still move all day with the kids but it’s not intentional. Previously I might demonstrate foot rooting exercises 3-4x per day. I would hang regularly throughout the day. I would do reps of all types of exercises.. so my body felt great before I even put any time aside for my training. Nowadays that’s a different story. But this week, I got stuck into some jobs I’ve been putting off. Weeding my garden specifically. I got time in the sunshine, barefoot in nature, the kids helped fill the wheel barrow and dig around, my toes, feet and ankles got amazingly stimulated and I even got a sweat on which felt great. I had been a bit down because I haven’t found as much time to train as I would like to, but by taking on this ‘chore’ I was pleasantly surprised by how good my body felt. I was moving through squat, fisherman squats, and various low gait positions for a couple of hours, 3 days in a row. The only benefit to procrastinating this job so long was that I finally did it on the first days of spring when the sunshine was so glorious (hello Vitamin D ☀️). A few things I did to make this job nourishing to the body… I used both hands to pull weeds, I raked on both sides of my body, I squatted with flat feet, sometimes on the balls of my feet, and moved into fisherman squat regularly. I stood up from time to time when the legs needed a rest and then got straight back to work. When lifting the wheelbarrow to the greens bin I used my whole body. At the end of the night I lied down in the lounge room and did some thoracic rotation and rolling over the basketball. 💫
