I put this together in the sunshine yesterday. I’d like to dedicate this to every person who has felt their worth wrapped within the unrealistic standards and expectations of social media….or any metric, really. I hope you have your tea and coffee by you, take a deep breath, and remind yourself that there is abundance living within the intimate. I would also like to share that sharing this is a sign of expansion for me. As someone who is quite bashful, I often have a hard time accepting that something that was built from my heart has had the impact that it has…so, I am (snail paced) learning to actually allow myself to feel it. I am an open book if anyone has any questions!

How privileged are we to age? I would absolutely never want to invalidate anyone’s feelings surrounding growing older but a few years ago, a single email changed my entire perspective.

This email was from the mother of a Range member whose daughter did not have that privilege. She simply asked me to cancel her daughter’s subscription and thanked me for supporting her daughter during her cancer treatment. I think of her and her family every single day. Her comments on Range keep her spirit alive, woven inside her favorite classes.

The beauty, tech, fitness industries have convinced us that aging is “anti, anti, anti.” This could be a novel, but inside, you all know the truth already. It is beautiful…and challenging and lonely and confusing and filled with hardships AND beautiful, to age.

There is no slowing down the tides of time but there are ways to help us ride the wave. We can continue to play with movement, lift weights, use tools for guidance and support (like the chairs and walls we use on Range all the time). We can laugh, tell stories, eat delicious things, learn new skills, discover new movement pathways AND adapt movement pathways that no longer fit us.

We can call upon the fluidity of the rivers, strength of the trees, heat from the fire, air from the wind but we MUST keep moving. Sure, of course we do this for our muscles, our bones, our connective tissues, our metabolic and immune health but we do it because being here on Earth is a gift.

It would be an honor to introduce new wrinkles alongside you. Cracks and sun spots of a life that has been lived. I’ll be here as long as living in my body allows….right next to you living in your own. 🌀

I have had the privilege of being alongside 57 women over my last 4 Retreats. All have cracked me wide, wide open but this weekend was a brilliant display of how our collective anxieties, fears, and insecurities have the innate power to build an unbreakable bond. After each one, I am forever changed.

This isn’t a wellness retreat. It’s an absolute act of rebellion. Hand in hand this sisterhood joined together, climbed a literal mountain, filled our bellies with nourishing food, laughed until our pelvic floors ALMOST gave out on us and said a firm NO, to all the dangers that fill the wellness industry. We also said no to Mike, but that’s a story for a different day.

It shouldn’t make sense that 57 women (17 this weekend including me) should work so harmoniously together. We accept each other for our differences, giggle over our similarities, there’s not a single ounce of competition. Only love and deep deep understanding.

To those who haven’t joined yet, this isn’t an exclusive club. We thought of all of you who we don’t yet know personally. There’s an energy about Range that whether you’ve been on Range for 2 months or 2 years - you can just feel the warmth and comfort. It’s GENUINE.

And guess what? Jesse @jesse_lawson - who wrote this? She had never even taken a class before. She took a leap and left with 16 sisters and a new found love for herself.

I wrote you a poem

Do the squat
So you can river rot

We (me, my sister and nephews) watched a man balancing rocks in the river as we sipped on coffee. Totally hypnotizing, right?

This class, Jitterbug I Feel The Sun, began with the acknowledgment of our emergence from the depths of Earth. We began as seedlings in damp soil. As the sun called us outward, we responded with our salty sweat. We swam, we danced, we basked in the sunshine, there was even a mention of rose, I believe. Does anyone have a boat?! A singular class that wove elements of Qigong with the grand finale of the Macarena….and you know what, IT IS THAT SERIOUS. Over here we’re shattering the conditioning of the movement industry and letting ourselves go there with pink cheeks and bright smiles on our faces. GO PLAY OUTSIDE and be weird. Time moves too fast to not luxuriate in fun. #play #humanmovement #dance

I know this might seem beyond obvious but the reason why I’m sharing this is because we adapt in every sense of the word! We stay up later, eating more cooling and hydrated foods, desire less “structured” movement and more time hiking, bike riding, swimming, etc. Obvious? Maybe. Yet EVERY year I hear about your guilt.

This guilt exists because we “fall off the wagon” but screw the wagon! What the hell is the wagon anyways? We simply adapt and accommodate for this ever shifting energy! We keep talking about capacity and THIS is the meaning of capacity…transitioning and adapting without the bad taste of guilt living inside your mouth.

This Summer on Range we will be having a focus on short classes (25 minutes) and I’ll be introducing a program that will help keep you inspired in June, July and August. No pressure, no guilt, just a little hello and return to self. 🌀

Last summer, my husband Ben built us this cedar outdoor shower. We had found the stained glass at a salvage shop a few years prior and he had the brilliant idea to inlay them into the shower. Vermont weather might be incredibly unpredictable but let’s just say, the inaugural outdoor shower toasts the beginning of Summer.

Designed with movement, gardening, trips to the market, coffee shop and school pick up in mind - the Snail Shorts and Cocoon Robe are here for you to breathe, move and revel in the magic of the mundane.

We are living, breathing, moving ART. It’s no wonder that Range has become such a haven for artists. Art sees art. Creativity sees creativity. I wish you all could witness the artistry that exists within the metaphorical walls of Range!

When I parted ways with dance, in a formal way, I thought I needed to part ways with calling myself an “artist”. Reclaiming myself as an artist has opened up an entire portal of creative expression AND it has connected me with countless of you who are writers, actors, dancers, ceramicists, painters, jewelry designers, clothing designers, photographers…

Movement practitioners are artists whose medium is motion of the human body. 🌀

…and this is how longevity is woven into the fabric of Range. We train and embrace these patterns so that are nervous systems (and as result our complete bodily environment) familiarizes ourselves with endless movement pathways.

This is coming in tomorrow’s class, Weighted Human Movement Patterns, Human Noodle. 🌀

Human Movement Patterns is an entire class format that trains us to move in an organically human way while handling heavier load. Bing, bang, boom.
