Saratoga Awareness

Ahh thank you @madymorrison Clients ask me all the time what stretches they can do for their tight neck and shoulders and I stumbled across this 10minute gem that is just beautiful! YouTube: Mady Morrison - Stretches for Neck, Shoulder & Upper Back Pain Relief It has an intuitive flow that is easy to follow and is great for all ability levels. I feel great!

This morning, in the perfectly imperfect, choose happy I have an odd morning off - and instead of running around like a chicken with my head cutoff, I have taken a moment to workout, stretch, breathe, journal, and for a rare moment actually enjoy a cup of coffee and my breakfast #mamaofa1yearold - Today, all day, I #choosehappy #mompreneurs Thank you @foreverwildwomen for the sweet journal as a constant reminder that we ALWAYS have the choice

I’ve had a lot of questions about which shoes are the best in the last couple of weeks and I just came across this information from Dr. Axe: Wear Minimalist Shoes - Choosing the right shoes for your lifestyle and physical activity is very important... wear well-fitting shoes with shock-absorbent soles, firm shanks and supportive heel counters. Shoes that are too tight restrict the movement of the tendons, which damages the bones of the feet. Wearing the right shoes reduces pressure on the heel and helps distribute your body weight evenly. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/19890578/

Disinfecting my room before and after each client has become such a routine that I hardly think about it anymore! Disinfecting the door handles, client chairs and side table, coat hooks, boot mat, massage table, stool, bolster etc. along with changing the linens is just something that I do now. I am curious if I will ever go back! I have tried a number of different cleaners throughout this pandemic and have been really happy with this PureGreen24 ... It is proven to kill Human Coronavirus in 3 minutes, it is easier on my sensitive lungs and throat, it has not damaged any surfaces or materials, and it leaves no harsh scent or irreversible residue behind haha the things we geek out on now! It is good in my book! (PureGreen24 is a colorless, odorless broad spectrum antimicrobial disinfectant and deodorizer - EPA Reg. No. 72977-3-84364) What new pandemic habits have become so routine for you that you hardly notice them anymore? * * * #PandemicLife #PandemicTeaching #Disinfectant #Disinfection #Awareness #Feldenkrais #FeldenkraisMethod #SaratogaSpringsNY #SaratogaSprings #Saratoga #Massage #MassageTherapy #MassageTherapist #FeldenkraisPractitioner #Movement #MovementEducation #MovementMeditation #MovementIsLife #MovementTherapy #Balance #BalancedLife #BestLife #Bodywork #HappinessIsHomemade #NewHabits #NewHabitsNewResults #Neuroplasticity #YouHaveThePower #MentalFitness #MentalStrength

I received my second dose of Moderna COVID-19 Vaccine yesterday morning and WOW I could really use a massage today! Haha They said symptoms would take 12-24 hours to kick in. It started slowly, with an achy arm climbing up into my neck and opposite shoulder, then a crazy headache and chills - by around 9:30pm I felt like I was glued to the couch and couldn’t get up. ... When I went to bed I was chilled and achy but my sleep was very interrupted and each time I woke up things seemed to be worse. Every inch of my skin was sore, my joints ached from my ankles and toes to hips, spine, wrists and fingers. I was drenched in sweat. I felt like I couldn’t move anything and winced when I did. My whole body felt inflamed. I have trained myself to have a very sensitive system and last night this sucked!! Haha I did lots of Feldenkrais Awareness, lots of following my breath, lots of feeling my support and consciously relaxing my body, and drank lots of water. My mind seemed foggy and I was in and out of dream filled sleep until around 3:30am, when I finally felt things were leveling off and I could move enough to go to the bathroom and slowly fall back to sleep... the baby woke up at 6am Needless to say I am exhausted! Haha Still achy in my hands and wrists, sore through my jaw, neck, head and hips... but I think the worst of it is over I’m glad I experienced all these crazy intense symptoms while my baby slept!! But today has been rough and a massage and some me-time would have been just what the doctor ordered. Long story short - plan ahead! Haha if you’ve got your vaccinations scheduled be sure to follow them up with some self care, and book your massage now! DM me for times and scheduling! * * * #BookAMassage #MuchNeededMassage #Awareness #Feldenkrais #FeldenkraisMethod #SaratogaSpringsNY #SaratogaSprings #Saratoga #Massage #MassageTherapy #MassageTherapist #FeldenkraisPractitioner #Movement #MovementEducation #MovementMedicine #MovementMeditation #MovementIsLife #MovementTherapy #MotionIsLotion #MotionIsLife #MovementMatters #Balance #BalancedLife #BestLife #Bodywork #IGotTheShot #Neuroplasticity #YouHaveThePower #MentalFitness #MentalStrength

Sunday morning feels My little skelly almost in Ardha Matsyendrsana Today is a new day.... Give back to your body today. Thank it for all it does for you on a daily basis and all it has done for you your entire life. Remember that where you focus your attention becomes your reality, and guide your awareness to the things that your body is doing well right now. If you’re not digesting with ease are you hearing with ease? If you’re not walking with ease are you sleeping with ease? Is your mind able to relax? Can you laugh easily? What is your breathing like? We spend so much of our time focusing on the things in our lives and our bodies that we are not doing well. But just for a moment today, find something - one thing - that your body is doing, or can do, well, and bring your full attention to it. For a moment, relax into the great potential of your amazing body. For the more your nervous system recognizes what ease feels like, the more it will seek it out in all activity. * * * #FindYourEase #ArdhaMatsyendrasana #SundayVibes#SundaySoul #SkeletonYogi #SkeletonYoga #Awareness #Feldenkrais #FeldenkraisMethod #SaratogaSpringsNY #SaratogaSprings #Saratoga #Massage #MassageTherapy #MassageTherapist #FeldenkraisPractitioner #Movement #MovementEducation #MovementMeditation #MovementIsLife #Balance #BalancedLife #Bodywork #HappinessIsHomemade #NewHabits #NewHabitsNewResults #Neuroplasticity #YouHaveThePower #MentalFitness #MentalStrength

If you have started your COVID-19 vaccination process or are now fully vaccinated, PLEASE SHARE - this is important: I HAVE A RESPONSIBILITY TO THOSE WHO ARE NOT YET VACCINATED ************* It may be possible for a fully vaccinated person to be exposed to the coronavirus, become infected without any outward symptoms, and unknowingly pass the virus along to another. ************... "Scientists do not yet know whether COVID-19 vaccinations will reduce transmission because this was not tested in the trials...meaning future research would need to take this further. For instance, it would need to look deeper into how the vaccine works in the body whether it prevents an individual getting infected altogether, or whether it simply stops a person becoming sick. With the latter, this could mean the virus continues to replicate in the nose and throat, and is still able to spread." "As a result of this lack of information, governments and experts have openly stressed the need to follow social distancing and mask requirements even after being fully vaccinated." Source: Reuters.com As a health professional, I was contacted by NYS Ed.Dept. and received my first dose of the Moderna COVID-19 Vaccine last week But nationwide, the vaccination roll-out has been slower than many anticipated, and some of our most vulnerable communities will be waiting weeks and months for their first dose after I am vaccinated. I feel countless others should have been ahead of me in line and wish I could have given my dose to my immune compromised dad, my 86 year old grandmother, or any one of my older clients who live alone and have been sheltering and cut off from their social circles for nearly a year. But instead, I take on the responsibility * * #Awareness #SaratogaSpringsNY #SaratogaSprings #Saratoga #Massage #MassageTherapy #MassageTherapist #Feldenkrais #FeldenkraisMethod #FeldenkraisPractitioner #CovidVaccine #CovidPrecautions #Responsible #Responsibility #Advocate #ElderAdvocacy #EducateYourself #Educated #IGotTheShot #GoingViral #LetsGoViral #NoPunIntended #MovementTherapy #MovementEducation #Balance #Bodywork #NewHabits #NewHabitsNewLife #Neuroplasticity #YouHaveThePower
