I just got back from a few days soaking and chilling at one of my most favourite spots in the world: Breitenbush Hot Springs resort (think cute cabins without plumbing, lots of walking trails and lots of hot water and steam... ahh, the steam...). The hot springs are [...]
. What I love the most about my work of paving new pathways for healing and transformation is being able to collaborate and learn from other people who are doing exactly the same thing. Meet Elinor Silverstein. She is a pure gem and, just like me, she is fully committed [...]
. I have two stories here for you. I filmed the video below on a little pilgrimage I went on a while ago. But before I tell you about that, I want to tell you about what happened to me back in the Summer of 2008. It was a [...]

I will admit that this weekend my body has been sore. The good kind of sore. Here's Why I did an intense series of "leg exercises" the other day at the local YMCA. I put leg exercises in quotations because it wasn't a generic squat or machine-driven leg exercise [...]
The foundations of human movement development, meaning how our movement started from day 1, is the purest form of human learning that exists.
