Celebrate with me! November is my birthday month and my gift to the community is the gift of movement! Through the end of the year, I'm offering my Restorative Flow class as a Pay What You Wish option. Restorative work is the heart and soul of what I teach and what I believe in, as a movement teacher.

restore: (ri' stôr, t. verb) to give back, return; to put back into existence or use; to bring back to a former or original state. Synonyms: repair, renew, recover, rehabilitate, revive, recondition

Jennifer is a certified Restorative Exercise Specialist (C-RES) with Nutritious Movement, which is the heart and soul of every class that she teaches—think of it as an owner's manual for the body. Rooted in science and natural movement, Nutritious Movement uses the beautiful analogy of nutrition to explain our recommended daily movement requirements: just as we need a wide variety of nutrients in our diet for optimal health, our bodies also needs a much variety of movement "nutrients" than we're currently getting.

Joseph Pilates once said we know more about our cars than we do about our own bodies; Jennifer echos this sentiment: we know more about our smart devices than we do about our bodies, and it shows. We are becoming more disconnected and out of tune to what movement really is; chronic pain, loss of strength and mobility is happening at alarming levels, in younger and younger bodies, but it doesn't have to be that way.

Surprisingly challenging, revitalizing and empowering, Restorative Flow uses exercises from traditional Pilates, yoga and other sources, to both enlighten our minds and infuse our bodies with rich movement nutrients, to nourish all our parts, especially the underused, overused, forgotten parts: feet, ankles, knees, hips, spine, pelvic floor, shoulders, elbows, hands. You'll never look at a lunge or a twist, or a plank the same way again.
