Snow Day!🌬❄🤍
Oh what fun! What magic!
When you wake up in the morning, and the world has been covered in white...Wonderful🙌

The only thing that could ruin this day would be if I had to shovel and....
- my body didn't feel strong enough
- I started and my back seized up, or "went out"
- I was afraid of slipping and falling. 😖

I spent 90 minutes shovelling this morning and I feel invigorated - and it is not simply because I am still young and "should" have lots of energy.

Remember - what you are looking at is ...
- Moderate Degenerative Arthritis is L1/L2 shovelling
- 12 years of recovery shovelling
- 2 auto-immune conditions shovelling! 🙏

My Celebratory Smile at the End - is for more than my little clean walkway - it is because I Know How to :
warm up according to the activity
engage my muscles for effective safe strength
align my posture for greatest coordination
breathe to support endurance
cool down and stretch to ensure joint wellness and minimal muscle ache
..these are the Gifts life has offered me - and these are the Gifts that I want to offer you. 🤗
..looking for more ways I can support you and your strength, agility, coordination, confidence and Joy in Movement?
Drop me a comment - or send me a PM.

Cedar Blessing on the Door to my Office.

In our Tradition, Cedar is given as a gesture of gratitude, an offering in recognition for the gifts given.

The opportunity to work in pursuit of meaningful contribution is a gift
It is a privilege to have the support of home, food, water, safety and space to develop myself such that I feel inspired

This Cedar Blessing on my Door reminds me that when I enter into this Room
I am striving to make Wholy Effort.

I am striving to remind myself that Giving is a Practice of Presence, Integrity of Heart, Honesty of Spirit, Clarity and Humility of Mind.

I offer this blessing as a reminder to ask myself if I am working in ways that cultivate the most Salutogenic (health producing) expressions of myself?

This isn't about striving for Perfection.
It is about Beginning with Gratitude and returning to Gratitude

Because I know that my life is a Gift
I have been blessed with so much
May I use my privilege in the service of others

May my work by an expression of the Wholiness of my Being.

Love, gratitude and respect,

Danielle

I understand that following along with a high energy dance, spin, running class....or grunting and sweating your way through a cross fit or HIT series can provide many benefits:
- mood boosting hormones
- sense of release
- feeling of success and accomplishment
- empowerment
.........
However, most of the time, these practices involve focusing on Performing certain movements, at a dictated speed and following a certain number of reps in a certain amount of time.

Where is your Awareness with what your Body is Learning in terms of:
- Postural Alignment
- Joint Protection
- Balanced Training based on Your Unique Postural Needs ?

When we go to train in generic classes - we bring our Imbalances to the Class - and we generally leave with them.

We also generally aren't given awareness of our imbalances unless we work privately with a coach who specializes in postural alignment and muscular synergy.

I know these things because Ive been there myself!

What if you could learn the Language of Your Optimal Movement Culture, so that everything you did - every step, every jump, every stretch, every class was Guaranteed to be helping to Balance your Posture, Increase the Resilience of your Joints, entrain your Muscular Intelligence?

This would mean that you would be supporting your long-term mobility and deep muscular tone every day - while you are training and even when you aren't.

Curious about what I am sharing?

Reach out with a DM or drop me a comment.

I would love to speak with you how to switch from Training to a Regenerative Movement Culture.

With respect, embodied hope and gratitude,

Danielle

As I trained dancer and yoga instructor, I am used to striving to perfect the aesthetics of a posture or movement.

I am familiar with the practice of imitating ideals of postures.

This is what you see in the TOP IMAGE.
I have achieved what some might consider a beautiful downward dog:
Straight spine, straight legs, straight arms.

However after my recovery from a spinal dislocation and learning to live with hyper-lax ligaments and sensitive joints I have learned that working with the BIO-MECHANICS of my body is a different movement paradigm.

This is what you see in the BOTTOM IMAGE
In this pose, I am balancing the engagement of my back and abdominals
I am supported my wrists and elbows through muscular synergy
I am maintaining a healthy Spinal Curvature which supports fuller BREATH and healthy CIRCULATION of energy.

In the TOP image, I am sinking and PUSHING myself into the ground and into the depth of my mobility.

In the BOTTOM image, I am holding myself in BALANCE, with Strength + Whole Body Coordination.

Which one do you prefer and why?

I would love to hear your thoughts and reactions.

With Kindness and Respect

Sun-DREAM-Day Greetings

Today I wanted to share some Movement Dreams that have become a reality for me and the over one hundred individuals I have had the honour of working with using The Regenerative Joint Care Method.

This picture was taken of me 3 1/2 years Ago. This is After I had been told that I would never dance again, never be able to lift more than 20lbs, would be lucky if I would be able to walk without pain, EVER.

This is me having proved that my prognosis was actually just a Story and NOT a prediction of MY FUTURE.

What is your movement dream - that you are holding near and dear to your heart? That whispers to you when you have those windows of more/less Pain...do you wish that your dreams could become a reality?

Let me know what you long for...and what you feel is blocking your path.

I would love to support you in Growing your Dreams into Reality.

Thank you to capturing this candid moment of a joyful training - what a gift of Serendipity to have had the privilege and honour of meeting you!

With embodied, dancing hope,
Danielle
