oh you summer | theRadiantMovement.com

Happy summer, shimmering beauties!

I haven't been using this blog as Facebook seems to be the bulletin board of the moment.

Find me on Facebook or head directly to my humble little website: www.TheRadiantMovement.com

I am teaching in Los Angeles ALL SUMMER LONG, including a Somatic approach to Pilates during UCLA's Summer Session C.

Let's move together, in and out of the studio.

All sessions personalized for your queries, needs, injuries, interests and can include creating a short home practice to take with you when you leave.

Feel free to pass this offer on to friends and family who might be interested.

I'd love to move with you soon.

wishing you all an expansive AND contractive summer movement experience -

much love and light,

well-being will ultimately result in your actualizing your potential and taking care of all other
items and people on your to-do lists.

Some options for self-care:

self-massage with tennis/pinky balls, foam rollers, Yamuna balls

hot baths with epsom salts for sore muscles, to unwind and sleep deeply

Kava Kava tea for relaxation and sore muscles, won't make you sleepy

eating steamed veggies and hot, whole foods to improve digestion and feel grounded
