What is the Move Well Space?

The Move Well Space invites you to a holistic mindful movement practice. Movement is medicine, especially in a modern world where sitting is the new smoking. The Move Well Space is dedicated to teaching a variety of healthful movements borrowed from various modalities such as yoga, stretching, physical/ yoga therapy, strength training, eccentrics, breathwork, self massage to promote longevity, joint flexibility and muscle toning. The idea is to create a personalized movement program keeping individual and health goals in mind. This studio is for students of all ages and abilities who are looking for a one stop shop to gain more confidence in their day to day movements. Moving through one’s full range of motion pain free can require consistent practice with the right combination of flexibility, strength and balance exercises to overcome muscle imbalances and improve overall fascia health. 

Why the Move Well Space?

A big part of this practice is to improve overall body posture so that appropriate muscles are engaged in daily tasks to avoid common problems that come with aging such as rounding of upper back, forward head posture, neck humps, reduced lung capacity due to tight intercostal muscles and tight hip flexors.

Being able to move the way you want is liberating: it not only allows you to independently complete daily chores but also pursue physical activities such as running, hiking, dancing, sports,  gardening or travel. Learning the right way to move with mindfulness and stability to avoid injury and dysfunction (where one muscle group is overused as it compensates for a connected muscle group which is not functioning optimally) is essential for all age groups. The Move Well Space encourages you to age well by practicing a variety of fun movements with self awareness. These movements are created to be simple, easy to follow and feel fun rather than like a tedious workout. At the end of the session, I promise you will be bursting with energy, feeling the length in your spine, a spring in your step and space in the tissues surrounding your joints. 

It’s essential to learn movements that promote nervous system health, which is often under stress.  Certain practices help our bodies heal and recover from physical, emotional and mental exhaustion which is essential to repair our muscles and tissues and enjoy a better night's sleep. When we release trauma or emotional blockages stored in our bodies through therapeutic and somatic movements, we feel light, relaxed and an ease of movement.
