Your body isn’t the same every day. How you move doesn’t have to be either.
You’re barely awake, and your body’s like, heeey! Before you set foot on the ground, something is apparent.
The hip that was fine yesterday feels different. Your neck doesn’t want to turn quite as far. Maybe something feels surprisingly good, and you have no idea why. Stress hijacked you in the middle of the night.
By the first sip of coffee, your body has an opinion.
Movement can be a way to find out more about what’s happening in your body before deciding what to do about it.
Move a little, notice A LOT.
The thing that keeps bothering you might be the best place to start.
Movement can be more than something you do for your body. It can be a way to learn from it.
You move to get stronger, more flexible, or more mobile.
Do you ever move because movement itself can tell you something?
Change your position and something softens. Reach in a different direction, and you find space you didn't know was available. Slow something down and suddenly you notice where you're working harder than you need to.
The movement isn't the answer. It's how you find out more.
You don’t need to know why your hip feels different today. Or what the tightness means. Or what you’re supposed to do about it.
Let’s start with the area that grabs you most.
Give me a few minutes on the mat. We’ll move from there.
Pick the area you want to start with and meet me on the mat. No tools needed. I’ll guide you through a few minutes of simple movement so you can experience what changes when you move with what you feel.
Where are you going to start?
You don’t have to figure it out; your body’s information is not your mind’s job.
You have to experience it, move it, feel it.
Have we met? I’m Renie.
I’ve spent more than 25 years helping people understand their bodies through myofascial release, movement, and hands-on work.
Along the way, I’ve learned something that shapes everything I teach:
Your body is giving you information all the time. Movement gives you a way to work with it.
That’s what we’re doing here.
Not trying to perform a movement correctly. Not following a routine because someone said it’s good for you. And not assuming that what worked yesterday is what your body needs today.
We move. We notice what changes. And little by little, you build more ways to respond.
Your body. Your pace. My guidance.
Show up as-is, and I’ll see you on the mat!
