Hello, friend! This week, we’re going to dive back into our Cultivating Organic Fitness series with a special focus on two sweet modes of training.   Remember that old story about the tortoise and the hare? You know—the one where they race, and the really cocky hare speeds away at the start? Then the hare stops to take breaks, and even snooze a bit? And, in the end, the tortoise who is cruising along slowly (but steadily) wins? This week, we’re going to use those two charac

Welcome to part 5 of our series on Cultivating Organic Fitness Ooh, friend. Last week’s dive into our breath & lungs was so beautiful. Thanks so much for joining me. This week, we’re gonna keep on focusing on “cardiorespiratory” aspects of fitness, but from a slightly different angle. Whereas last week we focused on the “respiratory” side (via our breath), this week, we’ll be tuning into the “cardio” side by sensing our heart and tuning into its ability to pump blood throug

After diving deeply into stability & mobility individually these past two weeks, this week we’ll focus on noticing how they work together as a dynamic team. We’ll root deeply with that grounded, steady inner anchor of stability. We’ll pause. We’ll slow

(Part 2 of our Cultivating Organic Fitness series) Ooh friend, I loved our exploration of mobility last week. This week, we’re gonna continue our special series of Cultivating Organic Fitness with a deep-dive into stability.

Ooh, friend, I cannot wait to explore our next few weeks with you. The new year is here, making it an exciting time to dive into the topic of: fitness. Fitness…. it’s such an interesting word. What do you think of when you think of fitness? What comes to mind for you? When I first met my husband, I was studying exercise science, and he was studying evolutionary biology (both at UNI). I would soon learn that —really— we were both studying fitness, just from two vastly differen
