Increase Your Mobility & Stability

Many of you who have known me over the years, know me to be a bit passionate and meticulous about my studying, practicing and teaching of martial arts and various wellness methods. I can attribute my quest due to the following facets of diligent martial arts and mind/body/spirit training:

– Moving the body within the 3 anatomical planes (coronal, sagittal & transverse)
– Exercising the body’s 600+ muscles
– Strengthening the body’s 200+ bones
– Stretching of the 12 fascial lines
– Moving and strengthening the 33 vertebrae
– Getting the organs moving by engaging the core muscles
– Rehabilitation of injuries (knees, back, neck and shoulders)
– Boosting of the immune system
– Relieving stress and anxiety
– Learning to see one’s self as others see me through mindful exercises
engaging the mind, body and self-awareness
– and many more benefits.

Find a method of exercise that works for you and do it consistently. Let me know if you need help getting moving.

Be well and stay healthy.

Improve Stability & Balance

Better balance and stability in the human body – how does this come about?

1) Make a commitment to yourself to exercise
2) Educate yourself as to what you need to do
2) Do the work
3) Reap the benefits

The goal here is not to get a strenuous high-impact physical workout, but rather to build strength in all of the muscles, joints, bones, fascia and all other components of the human body. These exercises can be practiced aerobically (moving) to more engage the circulatory system or anaerobically (holding each posture) with deep and deliberate breathing to engage the parasympathetic nervous system.

These exercises have passed the test of time. Yoga/qigong (origins in 3300-1500 BCE), Asian Martial Arts (origins of 4-5 century AD), Tai Chi (origins in 12th century AD).

These practices have endured because they produce results for those that take them seriously.

Contact me if you need further help in getting more active.

Be well.

Dynamic Tension – Tai Yu

Dynamic tension – using your own body to create resistance for building strength, flexibility, balance, etc. Watch and follow along this set called Tai Su.

As we all continue to age, the focus should change somewhat from the cosmetic attraction of a lean and toned physique to that of structurally sound and healthy internal systems. Most people don’t ail from weak biceps, or un-toned stomach and chest muscles. It is the health underneath that is most important.

Tao Yin – Swallow Returns to Nest (moving qigong) detailed instruction

Today’s online exercise: Tao Yin – Swallow Returns to Nest

A side effect of the current pandemic crisis – some people have started to realize that good health is not all about the location, the equipment, the gear, the clothes, the look.

Staying healthy is a state of mind; a matter of choice. What you do or where you do it is not as important as finding a method of exercise that you can do consistently.

Deep and Deliberate Breathing – video 2

A Key Factor for Well-being – Breathing Deeper and More Deliberately – FREE detailed class on how to practice deep breathing in order to relieve stress and anxiety.

Learning how to regulate the breath is truly one of the key components to maintaining good health and well-being. Most people do not regulate their breath or even think about it, until a health issue presents itself. Many athletes and musicians practice some breathing methods to aid in their performance and stamina. I am suggesting you learn this in order to boost the immune system by removing some stress from your daily routine.

Controlling how you breathe can affect your emotions.

Emotions cause the brain to adjust and affect the body’s blood chemistry.

The blood chemistry directly affects the internal organs and consequently all of the bodily systems and functions.

Watch my online instruction to get a better understanding on how and why to breathe deeper.
