Joseph Foright, MS, CSCS Helping stressed, perfectionistic, and overwhelmed bodies get unstuck.

I blend assisted stretching, corrective exercise, breathwork, and nervous-system science to ease chronic tension, improve mobility, and restore regulation.

Three weeks. Three areas of the body. One goal: helping you move and feel a little more freely.

I’m excited to be back at Lexington Salt Cave & Wellness this October for my three-part Unlock Your Body workshop series.

Each 90-minute workshop combines gentle movement, mobility, breathwork, and body awareness to explore some of the places we commonly hold tension and develop patterns of bracing. You’ll also leave with simple, practical tools you can use on your own to keep working with your body long after the workshop ends.

🗓 October 14 — Neck & Shoulders
Explore tension through the neck, shoulders, and upper back and learn ways to create more ease and freedom of movement.

🗓 October 21 — Core & Spine
Explore the relationship between breathing, the rib cage, core support, and spinal movement.

🗓 October 28 — Hips & Pelvis
Work with the hips and pelvis through gentle mobility, movement, and awareness to help reduce unnecessary tension and improve how the body moves as a whole.

⏰ 6:00 PM
📍 Lexington Salt Cave & Wellness

Come for one workshop or experience the full three-part series.

$40 individual workshop
$105 for all three

No experience necessary — just come as you are and be curious about what your body has to tell you.

Do you ever feel like you get trapped in your own thoughts?

Replaying conversations. Worrying about what might happen. Trying to think your way through the same problem over and over again.

Those loops don't necessarily stay in our heads.

When the mind continually returns to worry, threat, or problem-solving, the body responds too — with tension, bracing, shallow breathing, or simply a feeling that it's difficult to fully let go.

This is one reason I believe meditation can be such an important part of getting unstuck.

Breathing and movement can help bring us back into the body and create a greater sense of ease. Meditation gives us an opportunity to work with another part of the pattern: our relationship with our thoughts.

We practice noticing a thought without automatically following it.

Over time, we can create more space between a thought and our response to it — making it a little easier to step out of the same worry and rumination loops that can keep both mind and body working overtime.

Getting unstuck and relieving tension aren't always about finding the right stretch or exercise.

Sometimes it's also about teaching the mind that it doesn't have to follow every thought that comes along.

This Sunday at Barefoot Works Yoga

We’ll spend 90 minutes exploring the neck and shoulders through gentle movement, breath, and awareness—looking beyond simply stretching tight muscles and creating an opportunity to move with a little more ease.

For a long time, I thought the answer was simply figuring out what needed to be stretched, strengthened or corrected.

That was part of the answer. But it wasn’t the whole picture.

My own experience with chronic tension, pain, fatigue and brain fog eventually changed the way I understood the body — and the way I work with others today.

This is a little of that story...

Your pain may be physical, but what contributes to it is often more complex.

The tension we feel in our neck and shoulders can reflect both how we’ve moved and used our bodies over time — and how we carry stress.

In my upcoming Neck & Shoulders Workshop at Barefoot Works Yoga, we’ll give attention to both.

We’ll explore movement and breathing patterns, patterns of unnecessary tension, and how stress can contribute to bracing in the body.

Most importantly, you’ll leave with simple tools you can continue using on your own to help your body move with more ease.

We can become so focused on fixing what hurts that we forget to ask what our body might be trying to tell us.

Sometimes the answer isn't another stretch or corrective exercise. Sometimes the body is asking for rest, safety, or simply for us to pay attention.

And as we learn to listen, its signals often become easier to recognize and understand. 💙

If your neck and shoulders always seem to feel tight, stretching the tight spots is only part of the solution.

That tension is connected to the way we brace, breathe and move — especially when the nervous system has been working overtime.

I’m excited to return to Barefoot Works Yoga for my Neck & Shoulders Workshop, where we’ll explore why these patterns develop and how greater awareness, gentle mobility and intentional movement can help create more lasting ease.

We’ll look at the relationship between the neck, shoulders, upper back and breath, explore common bracing patterns, and work through simple movements you can continue using on your own.

We’ll also discuss everyday behaviors and strategies that can help reduce stress and give your nervous system more opportunities to settle.

Neck & Shoulders is the first workshop in a three-part series exploring the neck & shoulders, core & spine, and hips & pelvis. Each workshop can be attended individually or as part of the full series.

Wired but tired?

Your body is exhausted, but your mind won’t shut off.

You worry. You ruminate. You replay conversations and problems again and again.

Maybe you struggle to sleep, wake up with your jaw clenched and your body already tense, or live with aches and tightness that never fully go away.

Sometimes we live this way for so long that it simply starts to feel normal.

But what if you could understand why your mind and body respond this way — and learn to work with those patterns instead of constantly fighting them?

That’s what we explore in my Unlock Your Body: Breaking Free from Bracing workshops.

We start with education — exploring how stress, protective responses, breathing, and habitual tension can influence the way you think, feel, breathe, and move.

Then we put that understanding into practice through gentle movement, breath awareness, and simple nervous-system regulation tools you can use in daily life — helping you become a more active participant in your own healing.

But understanding your body intellectually is only part of the process.

Each workshop also includes a guided somatic experience — an opportunity to slow down and actually feel what’s happening inside your body. To notice where you’re holding. What changes when you soften. And what your body may be trying to communicate.

The goal isn’t to depend on someone else to tell you what your body needs.

It’s to develop a more intimate relationship with your body — and learn how to listen to it yourself.

I use the phrase “stuck nervous system” a lot. But what does that actually mean?

It can look like a racing mind, persistent worry or rumination, difficulty relaxing, chronic muscle tension, habitual bracing, or a body that always seems to be “on.”

And when the system is already working this hard, jumping straight into strengthening, correcting movement —or even stretching— may miss an important first step.

We first need to create awareness and help the body experience movement with less protection and more safety.

From there, mobility, stability and strength have a much better foundation to build on.

Sometimes the body just wants to move.

Sway. Reach. Shake. Rock. Twist. Breathe.

Free-flowing, rhythmic movement gives us an opportunity to get out of our heads and reconnect with what feels good in our bodies.

There doesn't always have to be a right way to move.
