I noticed this in the grocery store…

Hi there, So let’s start here… I was standing in the grocery store the other day—right at the checkout. You know that moment where you’re waiting in line, half-looking at the magazines, half-thinking about what you forgot to buy. And there it was. A Reader’s Digest issue… talking about AI. It caught my attention. Not because AI is new. But because of where it showed up. Right there. It made me pause for a moment. Because over the past few weeks, we’ve been talking about how technology has shaped the way we move. From Walkmans… And now—this. This is something I hear a lot: “I’m not sure about it.” And honestly, that makes sense. We’ve seen this before. New technology shows up… I ended up reading the article, and what I appreciated most is how it approached AI. Not as something you have to jump into… But something you can understand—and use—within your own comfort zone. From a movement perspective…this is where I think things get interesting. Because AI isn’t about replacing your body or your experience. It’s another tool. A way to ask better questions. But here’s the key: You don’t have to go all in. You don’t have to figure everything out. You can stay right where you are and simply be curious. So let me ask you this: What if AI wasn’t something to master but something to experiment with? Next week, I’m going to share something I’ve been working on. It’s simple. For now, if you’re curious, take a few minutes to read the article. And just notice what stands out.

Hi Reader, This past week, a client sent me an email that absolutely made my day. She had just returned from the lake where a truckload of firewood needed unloading — 150 logs in total. But instead of simply powering through, she caught herself applying the movement strategies we’ve been practicing and discussing together. ✔ She hinged through her hips. ✔ Used her squat. ✔ Lifted and turned with intention. ✔ Paused every 10 logs to breathe and recheck her alignment before continuing again....
Hi Reader, The past three weeks have been a lot of fun. I was invited to teach at the Edmonton Lifelong Learners Association spring session at the University of Alberta, and some of you reading this today may have been in class with me there. If that’s you — I’m so glad you’re here now as part of this email community. 💗 I hope to continue sharing resources that support your physical activity, movement, exercise, and therapeutic yoga practices in ways that feel practical and sustainable for...
Hello! This week’s new Real Moves for Real Life video is about something we often don’t practice enough: Getting up off the ground. It sounds simple — until it suddenly doesn’t feel simple anymore. And with gardening season upon us, this movement pattern becomes even more important. Whether you’re planting flowers, pulling weeds, playing with grandchildren, or simply sitting on the grass for a few moments, confidence getting down and back up again matters. Here’s what I see all the time from...
