Massage Therapy with Joy

Happy March.

There’s a lot going on out there. The season is starting to shift. The collective nervous system of the world is on high alert. Lots of people are recovering from illness. And I feel inspired to reach out to my clients, friends, and family and share some of the things I have been doing to increase wellness in my life. 

The first thing I’d like to mention is that I have been training in authentic Pilates with the Atmosphere Edit. I highly recommend you check out their YouTube channel. And know that they offer online classes and even online private sessions. Understanding the Pilates system has given me a whole new perspective to understanding my body. After over 25 years of Yoga, I was delightfully surprised at how many new tools I have gained from the Pilates system. My body feels strong and healthy. And the commitment is manageable. I personally have been doing 4 or 5 days of Pilates per week, but some days I do as few as 8 minutes. And some days I do as much as 45 minutes. I do a majority of my Pilates online, either watching YouTube videos from the Atmosphere Edit channel or in person/online through Zoom classes. This has made the practice very sustainable and accessible for me.  My chronic hip pain has almost completely disappeared. And I’m feeling very grateful.

If it interests you, I would encourage you to check it out. Here is a beginner level video to get you started.

More post soon to come. Let’s help each other create more wellness in our lives and in the lives of others.

Be well,
Joy
