They say women are excellent multitaskers. That’s a lie. What we’re really good at is overriding our body and nervous system to the point of exhaustion and suffering through undernourishment. There is no multitasking in diet and exercise. You can’t run yourself into the ground without rest and balanced nutrition and get stronger. Skinny and healthy aren’t the same thing. Today on The Work IN we’re talking about some of those weight loss lies and how to start working with the body so we can feel safe, strong and confident in our own skin.

The nature of entrepreneurship is experimental. There isn’t any certainty that what you have to offer is what people want. So we test and investigate and try things. There comes a point in every business and especially wellness business where you have to stop testing and stand and deliver. Today on The Work IN we’re going to take a look at what that looks like for successful fit-preneurs and the critical mindset skills you need to build a business backbone, stay creative, focused and grow professionally and personally.

Today on the Work IN we’re going to explore the connections between trauma informed yoga and this mysterious thing we call somatic movement. It’s the ultimate work IN. It’s important for both instructors and providers of trauma informed movement AND the general population because we are all communicating some kind of message through our bodies every time we move and it would be nice to know we were saying what we mean. SO we’re going to talk about not just what these things are and how they relate to each other but also why they’re important and how we can use them to get results beyond what the eyes can see. With my guest Yogafit Worldwide Master trainer Shaye Molendyke.

This is part two of our conversation with Colleen Jorgensen our favorite osteopath and pain care educator, about the body as a network. And last week, we were speaking in broad terms about this idea that we are all of us more than the individual systems that make up our body and how that is an important understanding and awareness for overall health. Now, we're going to take a little different approach to that same information and look at how we can apply some of this awareness as instructors in a group fitness setting or one on one with people. So you're gonna get to hear some really specific ideas and tips and ways and things that you can apply with your classes right now.

we have our favorite osteopath and pain care educator Colleen Jorgensen back with us on the work in and as you may remember Colleen is also a pain care where trainer a therapeutic Pilates yoga and Cymatics practitioner and she brings a world of experience with her to the conversation around all things wellness movements, and connecting the mind and body for real world resilience and results. Our conversation today was centered around the body as a network of systems and how we can use that network through small movements, small tools to bring big relief.

Somatics IS the secret neuroscience of yoga and all exercise. As Fit pro’s, students and fitness enthusiasts we’re using some pieces of somatic therapy every time we move even if we don’t know it. Today on the Work IN we are going into the dark cave of the brain to shine a light on what makes certain kinds of movement somatic and how we can use that magic to build resilience, support mobility, strength and balance and improve mental health for ourselves and our clients.
