Last Thursday, I gave a talk at Pilgrim’s Way Bookstore in Carmel called Resilient by Design. We gathered among garden statues in the dome to explore how stress lives in the body—not just as tension, but as strategy. A spine that stiffens. A breath that stays high. A core that braces instead of supports. These aren’t flaws. They’re brilliant adaptations built for protection.

And yet somehow, you’re still expected to reply to emails, make dinner, smile at strangers in the grocery store. The body knows something is wrong, even when we keep moving through our day. This past Saturday, just 90 minutes before teaching The Source Awakens, I was out walking my...
Hi Reader, Thanks to everyone who tuned in (or set an alarm!) for Thursday’s IG Live on the Gyrotonic Method and bone density. The questions were smart, the conversation was rich—and if you missed it, I’ve got you covered. 🎥 Here’s the replay: We talked about: Whether overhead work with the Wingmaster can replicate heavy lifting If jumping on the JSB with max resistance creates enough impact How much challenge is actually required to stimulate bone growth And most importantly: How do we layer...
My hands gripped the edges of the table as I took another breath and focused on relaxing the area beneath my left scapula. The needle bit into my skin, searing a path down my back as I exhaled slowly, keeping perfectly still while tension rippled through my body. Then ...Release. A magnificent flood of warmth spread across my system. The moment the needle lifted, my body melted. Relief washed through me like an internal tide, eclipsing the distress signals that had overwhelmed me just seconds...
