It’s the End of the Words as We Know It.

Some of our greatest strengths are also our most persistent saboteurs. Excitement and anxiety ride the same current. Care becomes control. Reader ,maybe you've felt that too. That’s the shadow side of commitment—and this moment craves more light. I started this newsletter in 2016, sending out enthusiastic emails on breathwork and anatomy to a small group of colleagues BCC’d from my Gmail account. It was a quiet side project—sporadic, sincere, and deeply personal. A way to share what inspired me as I grew into my role as a Gyrotonic Master Trainer and continued expanding my perspective on the body and how we move. Then came March 22, 2020. From that day forward, you received an email from me almost every Sunday morning. Rain or shine. From time zones near and far. Week after week, those missives arrived in your inbox at 6 AM PST—each one a blend of movement musings, nervous system insights, reflections on our communal state of being, and a free video or tool to help you reconnect with your body. The practice of writing these letters became a kind of spiritual discipline. They’ve held muscle maps and mental meanderings, practical tools and philosophical detours—usually with a free video attached. But lately, something’s shifted. The online world feels different. The digital noise has grown louder. And I’ve found myself craving less screen time and more skin time—real conversations, real contact, real Saturdays with my kids. Every newsletter takes me 6 to 8 hours to create. I start sketching them out mid-week, film and upload on Thursday or Friday, and then spend what should be my Friday night glued to the screen—typing, editing, formatting—often working straight through until 2 or 4 AM on Saturday. By the time I hit “send,” my hips are tight, my eyes are dry, and I still don’t know if the reading glasses I started needing in 2023 were just a natural part of aging—or a consequence of staring into an LCD glow for five years straight. It’s a beautiful process. But it leaves a mark. So I’m giving myself permission to pause. This is not the end of our connection Reader - just a change in tempo. And I’m also hitting pause on online classes for a while. But before I go, there’s one last workshop. And Reader ,if this workshop speaks to you I'd love to see you there. 🧠🌀 Core Strategies: Wide Sling + Stall BarsSaturday, July 26 | 2-Hour Livestream Workshop Build smart, adaptable setups for core engagement using the Wide Sling + Stall Bars.

If March comes in like a lion, January feels more like a bear after hibernation… or maybe the crusty, mildly confused groundhog, blinking into the light and wondering what year it is. After the inevitably intense “end-of-year slide to the finish line,” many of us arrive here a little slower, a little creakier, and quietly eager to smooth out the internal — and sometimes external — lumps and bumps that keep us from feeling that “new year, new you” buoyancy in our step. Maybe by the time this...
My brother came down from Canada late Friday night with three young children in tow. After loading their suitcases, my two nieces and nephew slid into the back seat and the commentary started immediately. “This car is SUPER messy,” noted my six-year-old niece. “Totally,” I replied. “I’ve been doing a big art project for the past two months and haven’t had any time to clean it.” “I think the only person with a messier car than this is my Dad,” observed Zadie (with all the wisdom her twelve...
Hello friends, I made a short video tonight instead of writing ( because sewing won out) Two brief updates, and then the real reason for this message. First: Iluminado has been open just over a week, and a beautiful review came out in Monterey County Weekly. The piece reflects what we hoped the installation would do — invite people into an experience that’s participatory, immersive, and quietly transformational. If you’re local, I hope you’ll take some time to experience it at the Monterey...
