Hi Reader, 3 quick things before we get into the movement practice this week: #1 If you are impacted by the government shutdown and need to pause payments on your membership until the government reopens, please reach out to me directly so I can take care of that for you.. #2 Registration is open for my Winter Retreat and I'd love to see you there. As a member of MOVE/MOVE15 you receive 10% off the total cost of the retreat. Save your spot here. #3 MOVE has a new web address! I've changed the name of my website, which means all of your regular MOVE addresses have changed. While there should be redirects in place, please add this bookmark for your login: http://move.naomigottliebmiller.com/login-now There are some additional changes, which I'll send a separate email about later this week, so stay tuned! We're in our second week of October, working with the theme of Anchor Into Abundance. We have a new self-care focus of the month. The self-care practice of this month is to connect with what makes you smile or brings you joy — as a daily recording of the abundance you have. Listen for bonus tips about why this is essential in this month's audio. Find the audio in the October Resources. You can also find the newest 15-Minute Energizing Flow in the Membership Hub here. In this practice, you'll build toward wheel pose (our pose of the month) -- or another backbend if wheel isn't in the cards. You'll start with some gentle warm ups for your upper back and legs. Then you'll do a flow of standing poses and a little shoulder work before spending the last 5 minutes of class on wheel pose. Let me know what you think of the practices in our Facebook group! Have a wonderful week! Naomi Have you tried the strength-based movement practice for this month? You can find it in the October Monthly Resources. Here are the quick links for the 8-minute Flows and the 15-minute classes: You can find the 8-minute flows here. You can find the 15-minute classes here.

Hey Reader, This morning, I woke up early to move my body like I always do. I am a person who has a daily movement practice, which is a little bit abnormal. Apparently only around 20% of women (according to a 2024 study) have an intentional daily movement practice. I like moving my body. It's also my job to teach people how to do it. And lots of evidence points to the fact that a regular (if not daily) movement practice, including resistance training and cardio, is important for health,...
Hey Reader, Last week I talked about how there's a lot of really bad advice out there when it comes to answering the question, "how do people find time to exercise?" Part of the problem is that lots of folks see exercise as an all or nothing endeavor. If you can't do a "full workout" it's not worth it. Except science doesn't back that up. Current science suggests that small bursts of movement or exercise are as beneficial as longer workouts. The point is to keep moving as you get older,...
Hey Reader, Earlier this week, while I was reading on substack, I noticed a post by a writer I'd never heard of. She asked, "How do people find time to exercise?" The person who posted this is a substack bestseller, meaning she has 10's of thousands of paid subscribers. I have 10's of 4. But anyway, because she has thousands upon thousands of subscribers, she got lots of answers to this question and reading them was entertaining. One person suggested that you pretend your pilates and spin...
