Intention

Scrabble tiles arranged to spell the word 'MOVEMENT' on a white background.

My intention is to provide individuals with a simple practice addressing components of the body that work extensively while unnoticed. I hope to open the door for people to reconnect with their body and mind, reminding us how much these physical bodies provide for us in our every day lives.

  • Re-Connect with your body, mind and breath

  • Develop self awareness with your mind and body

  • Learn more about your body and how it works

  • Movement promotes circulation, awareness, relaxation,

There are seven characteristics that makes up a living organism:

  1. Organization

    Characteristic pattern of organization with a discrete boundary separating it from its environment. It maintains physical integrity and assists in homeostasis (keeping a stable internal environment)

  2. Responsiveness to environment

    Response to external stimuli

  3. Growth

    Changes in form and function

  4. Reproduction

    Creating subsequent generations of similar organisms

  5. Movement

    Internal or external

  6. Metabolism and Excretion

  • Metabolism chemical operations underway within the body, some absorbed from the external environment = Nutrients, oxygen

  • Respiration is the absorption, transport, and use of oxygen by cells

  • Excretion removal of generated unneeded or potential harmful waste products that must be removed from body fluids
