March is Mobility Month

by | Feb 25, 2020

The body is like a 3-legged stool composed of strength, flexibility, and mobility. Without 1 leg, the integrity of the structure is compromised. The reality is that mobility is the most important leg of the stool. You cannot build strength or improve flexibility without it. Yet it’s the one thing that we most often take for granted.

 

This month, we are focusing on the importance of mobility. We incorporate mobility into every class and in multiple ways. This month we will be more intentional about our cuing so you can better tune into your mobility, noticing where it is good vs. where it may be lacking. Rolling is a method by which you can restore mobility or prevent loss of mobility. Stay tuned for extra opportunities to roll this month with pop-up classes and an online mobility challenge. Follow us on Instagram @alkalignstudios to participate!

It Doesn't Have to Hurt to Work

A NEW, 2-week FREE program we are offering to any and all who want to get off the hamster wheel and try something that 1) works and 2) you will enjoy in the process. No more beating yourself up and spiraling the shame drain thinking you have to do more and be more. We embrace a philosophy that it doesn’t have to hurt to work. The extremes aren’t sustainable. Be kind to yourself. Be kind to your body. Slow, steady and sane wins the race of life. And we are here to help you along the way.

Hi! I’m Erin and my passion in life is helping others feel better by helping them get out of their own head. So much of our relationship to food and fitness is a reflection of deeply rooted beliefs that were imprinted on us at a very early age. These beliefs drive all sorts of behaviors, many of which are not good for our physical or mental health. I know this first-hand. As a former calorie-counting cardio queen I played right into all the toxic messages about what it meant to be “healthy”. That all changed when I hit rock bottom. Since leaving my corporate career in 2009 I have been fully committed to shifting the narrative and helping people experience better physical health by unpacking unhealthy beliefs. My biggest inspiration are my two young daughters, who I hope to raise in a household that openly illuminates and addresses the misinformation instead of adopting it.
