This blog is a space
where I explore how movement actually works,
through the lens of alignment, breath, strength, mobility and long-term care.
Rather than quick fixes or workout trends, these posts reflect how I work with bodies in real life:
Paying attention to how people move and what their bodies need in order to feel stronger, steadier, and more at ease.
