Movement Snacks: A simple tip to make Warrior 2 easier
|
Hey Reader, First things first, a big thank you to the 2 folks who helped me raise money for immigrants and refugees in Northern Colorado. I donated $100 to IRCNoco thanks to you. Here are my 2 receipts, since one of the donations came after I'd made my initial donation (Sunrise Community Heath, which is listed on the first receipt, is the umbrella org that runs IRCNoco): This was way less than I hoped to raise, but I am grateful to the one person who joined MOVE and the one person who showed up for my MOVEMENT THAT MAKES A DIFFERENCE class on Friday. I hope that this is just the beginning of the good work we're able to do together. Mark your calendar for the next one, happening Friday March 13th. In terms of movement this week, I have one simple tip and it's in video form. I created a quick video for my YouTube channel sharing my top tip for making Warrior 2 feel stronger and easier in your body. You can watch it here: The reason I created this video is because Warrior 2 is the pose of the month all month long in MOVE, my online studio. In the strength classes we're doing strength sets including squats and a bodyweight exercise for upper body (it's a fun one that is not push-ups and does not require any weight bearing on hands). I'd love for you to join MOVE this month. It's a great time to commit or recommit to a movement practice and there are 3 different ways you can join MOVE: MOVE15, which focuses on classes less than 20 minutes long, including 2 live classes each week that are quick movement breaks (just 15 minutes long). MOVE, which offers a monthly calendar to follow along with, as well as live 30 minutes classes and everything else you have access to in MOVE 15 (and an archive of 30 minute classes). MOVE Plus, which focuses on more individualized support. I create a personalized movement program every month for you, based on your needs. I also offer a higher level of accountability -- you can text me when you've completed a practice or do weekly check-ins. You can get more info about all that MOVE has to offer here. MARK YOUR CALENDARS! On Friday February 20th I'm offering a workshop answering the question: What actions and exercises actually build strength? It's a 30 minute workshop in the morning, probably at 11am ET -- but I am checking with MOVE members first, since this is a MOVE workshop I am opening to the public. That's it from me for now. Thanks for being a part of my community this year. I am so grateful for you. Warmly, Naomi Want to stay in touch during the week? Here are a 2 easy ways: Follow me on Instagram, where I share movement inspiration 3x a week as acts of resistance, connection, and strength. Follow me on substack, where I write about the intersection of movement, motherhood, and the culture that we are all moving through. Or better yet, subscribe so you have immediate access to regular essays, including my most recent substack. I wrote about a famous longevity expert who turned up thousands of times in the Epstein Files, but the real focus of my piece is about why the term "longevity expert" is a bogus term. You can read about it here. There are many ways to support my writing on substack, which focuses on women's health and motherhood during perimenopause through an anti-diet and pro-science lens: 😍 Become a free subscriber I also had an article published on the Fit Bottomed Girls platform about women over 50 redefining athleticism. There are women hiking the AT, participating in triathlons, and even competing in the Olympics. They are inspiring and incredible. You can read the article here. |
