3. Balance in action.
We strive, but never at the expense of our balance or health. Even as we seek to embody a particular functional or muscular profile, be it for running, handling our day, or hitting the stage, our health will depend on acknowledging and balancing other practices and capacities. Health will depend on holistic strengthening and mobilizing, on strategic stabilizing, and on preventative exposure and adaptation. It will depend on our willingness to trust our intuition and to choose for ourselves. And it will depend on our willingness to remain open and responsible to the other parts of our life. That's what keeps us going.Live classes, Workshops, and Events: the classes will paint the full picture, the workshops will allow us to collaborate, and the events will let us shake things up. all are optional. read on for covered topics.
Live Personal Coaching: you’ll have access to both live one-on-one training with me (where we can address your worries, goals, technique, and your long term plan), as well as asynchronous training, to provide you with a convenient way to ask me questions at any time.
Empowering Learning Materials: and for those who would like a quieter approach, we provide comprehensive and concise learning materials, combining pre-recorded video and text, to provide you with every benefit (and more) that the live classes do.
topics covered include:
creating spinal, shoulder, and knee stability
(some more action)
comprehensive seated, standing, and bed stretches (I’m a home body)
something about having variations options according to risk or ()
((nah just take one from each bellow —- just one paragrpah that captures the best — you can just say spinal and shoudler and stability, finish with: and ((communicate details in any movement, bring to life? (((the stability thing qould be better here ,spinal, knee, shoulder, somerhign more appfoacghable and compelling than second — maybe it go third ,, and the details that make the difference even for the most simple movements(things)
the essence of good training programming; how frequency, intensity, and volume in training can be influenced to serve our individual needs optimally; how set schemes, rep ranges, tempos, and breaks figure into this equation;
how to draw from various modalities and styles of training to create a balanced program; including (), yoga, dynamic movement, low-impact high-intensity training, strength training, pilates, barre, low-impact athletic training, dance movements, athletic movements, and the hundreds of other valuable exercises that fall in between).
((for video maybe an animation and your voice at that point))heres the thing, your back doesn’t like sitting all day, your knees don’t like inactivity, and your shoulders don’t like sudden strain when they’re unprepared for it (or any part of your body for that matter)and yet, those are things we find ourselves confronted with in the modern world.
these are the questions I want to answer ( and will at the end of the video if you just watch on )
more worryingly, and in a sense this is part of what drives me, we also find ourselves driven to do similarly harmful things by cultural, dogmatic, and selfish influences.(((this third sentence seems to be a part of another point, not the first one)))
and I dont mean to blame anyone, and I donthave to , we can just conider our current gym and athletic culure — permeated with utter overtraining and mistraining, no doubt.
oh and the thing that we treat the weights like they wont hurt us, like its not iron and our gym equipment sitll looks like its from the 40s —- this is just to say careful
or let us just conider the rates ((this is diffferent from the above but it also relates))— and thats not natural — that a symptom of our habits that we stand to address and correct.
but the beauitufl thing is that were incredibly adapbale creatures, and, seeing that we are bodily creatures with specific and simple needs, fixing and preenting these tings proves simple and inexpensive,((( with the right approach and the right mindset,. (((the beautifu
include some of the dogma!! protein bone density /// also some of the rigidity you find, ((we’ll have to address ai though, and we can say that its actually been great at claryfying some of this dogma, if you push through it and insist, it is greater than anything at abstract thinigs but has trouble with ind. application , that said, its a shield, we can ask it about risk of injuries this that (( shouold we say this? well, not really, your whole thing rests on claiming things yourself — and I thin you can do that with the right approach to ai
include notions about variety in the movemnt, thoruhout the day ((even if you have to sit all day)) , how to stand up form the cahir,, and the nos of shoulders ,, dont reach o ut to far from body ,, usr your bigger muscles for support and strengthing the relevant stabilizing structures (as one of the less stable joints in the body))

and
hips and back —- hips always fired ((the three () that afflcit modern society are (the back from sitting, the pelvic tilt (((( exercisees standingw ithchair, on knees, and also 90 90 ((me no like that one actually!!!) ,,, and also we can point to the rates of knee, hip replacemnts (( oh and the neck the bent neck is eprvaive,,, al symptoms of modernity and theyre all connected — we know this — here’s how you treat them ( as far as im conerned this is the best aproach)and clearing some of the harmful dogma, for most people the 90 90 is not good bc of pelvic tilt, leg raises too for that matter ( if youre going for core) and we also have the overtraining

and the limitations that health imposes?! what it means to satisfdistinct practices themselves (( numerous variations and alternatives for everything , along with their risk and effectiveness profile— moreover we can look at general modalities, reistance training ones, and we have maybe other technical category for things like tempo and the resting and trh freuncey — volume !! thats what we wanted to say,, will you tie that into discussion of programming or something else )),
((and we couple that with ,,, more order in the paragrpah fundamental training principles )) highly nuanced creating spinal and shoulder stability, knee and elbow health, building proportional muscle, implementing plyometrics, isometrics, and varied tempos, angles, and modes of resistance training (barbells, bands, cables, dumbells etc) to meet both daily and athletic needs, events meant to cultivate mindfulness as well as proactivity (where we can learn to fall back on proactive thoughts or mantras), as well as nuanced questions of optimal programming regarding the set schemes, rep schemes, styles, and options that we have our disposal, and much more! (((maybe you can say this in another way, also mention (yoga) poses, dynamic movements, and maybe say that your own practice can be understood as combinitaion of even pilates and barre and the rest — ((((or do like results first like yo u ahve now, but then say , and lern to do that in a way that integrates (said modalites(also saif resitance modaliteiss, and also that gives the in on all of the varoiables we have tempo and things

What we do matters. But not as much as how we do things.
Our core tenets:
1. Mindfulness in action.
That’s our most important marker of improvement (outside of technique), more so than weight-numbers, rep-ranges, and modalities of training. Varying our training and increasing our demand no doubt has its place, but the truth remains that we can generate enormous amounts of tension and power with little weight and minimal strain. And what that requires is mindfulness, positioning, and timing. How well can you feel the movement? And how in control are you of your muscles? Practices include drawing attention to your body throughout the day, imagining the shape and placement of your muscles, imagining yourself performing your physical activity or sport when you're not, including "movement" based training where the goal becomes fluidity, tactile/ verbal reminders (on one extreme you have people who literally talk to their muscles), and reestablishing your relationship with healthy discomfort— by facing it!2. Joy in action.
Reasons orient us, especially when they're close to us. And yet, for all of the reasons that we can find, none of them can drive us like love and joy can. And if you can come to love the process, or just the thing you’re doing (like sweating, moving around, or moving weights), then progress is sure to follow. Finding that joy in movement is often as simple as breathing in and drawing attention to what we’re doing or sensing; or as simple as regarding your body with care and love . On our part, we seek to care for that joy by providing you with a secure space free of worrying pressures, expectations, and metrics. Have fun! Your success depends on it.
Immersion Structure:
Three pillars. Each self-sustained and dynamic.
covered :
make a habit of presence and action and make a habit of seeing the good!—- take control of your narrative — the fact of the mater is we know what to do it sbaout maiing a consiocus effort to do those things to brethe to htink about ouslves be more nice to ourselves(( wh
move the creds earlier , say make sure to read on somewhre in beginning, and cinlude the things about : the daily practice of drawing attention to the body and providing care and good regard to it, feeling yourself, to be honest, just feeling your body with your hand, tracing it , a soft regard for yourself, a daily consiceitous practice of drawing attention and lvoe tp yourself -0-0
Expect my utmost commitment to you and the immersion. Expect the details and the insight that makes a difference. And expect to have fun!
So don’t be surprised when I ask you to participate in class (don’t worry, all interaction is optional). And don’t be surprised when you find yourself contributing, or creating! Or when you find yourself smirking, just as my students would do when their online Spanish Teacher (who also worked at L.A. Fitness) would present them with made up words to read out loud in class (as a prank). Different times. Importantly, I no longer skip work to swim in the ocean. Falapatipu! That’s not a word. Yes it is! Another thing, I’m not new to in-person personal training. I’ve now worked successfully with hundreds of people across city gyms, commercial gyms, stretch lab, yoga studios, high-end boutique gyms, as well as retirement homes and rehab centers leading group classes, always in search of the best platform (and that only came after more than a decade of being personally consumed in this world. In my defense, I was also annoyingly analytical, experimental, and fulfilled on my way through). The virtual group immersion is my way of providing unparalleled value to you in an unparalleled amount of time. ((It's been a ride)), and I couldn’t be more excited to finally launch what I began planning so many years ago. Thank you for your time and attention and I hope to see you soon!
