When it comes down to it, the most important movement pattern you MUST master is BREATHING!
Nothing is more important.
I just had a discussion with a private client this morning about how you must always stay vigilant and aware when you slip into a shallow, stress breathing pattern.
Because if you don't "catch yourself" and "release and rewire" that pattern, it will get you. It will eventually take you down.
Chronic hyperventilation that comes along with this short, chest based breathing pattern not only reduces the amount of available oxygen to your tissues, and creates excess stress and tension in your neck and shoulders, it also creates an alkaline environment in your blood.
Some people may think "alkaline's good, right?"
In your tissues, yes. But when you're blood becomes even a tad alkaline from shallow breathing, your hemoglobin holds onto oxygen much more fiercely so your tissues don't get it!
That means not only are you not taking enough O2 in, you're also getting a double whammy from your hemoglobin's reluctance to give it up to you!
So make sure you master the art of breathing and I promise…everything will get better. It has no choice.

As the recent alarming study published in the renowned British Medical Journal reveals, to use over the counter and prescription non steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (nsaids) should only be used for short periods of time because the surprising risk of doubling and nearly quadrupling risk of heart disease and stroke!
During an interview with Medscape Medical News, senior investigator Peter Jüni, MD, from the University of Bern in Switzerland, said his team expected to see an increased risk but was surprised by the magnitude of the signal. "We never thought we'd see 2- and 4-fold increased risks," he said. "The doses were admittedly high," he pointed out, "however, this is clearly clinically relevant."
Conclusions from the BMJ study: Although uncertainty remains, little evidence exists to suggest that any of the investigated drugs are safe in cardiovascular terms. Naproxen seemed least harmful. Cardiovascular risk needs to be taken into account when prescribing any non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug.
This is one repeating story that shows us…yet again…that covering up pain and inflammation with drugs is a losing battle.
The pain is there to tell you to CHANGE something in your life. Most of the time, it's simply joint and muscle overload caused by inefficient and damaging movement patterns and Crossed Posture Syndrome.
But it can also be your nutrition, your emotions, your job, your relationship, your finances, your toxic home environment, dehydration……you name it. If it's stressful to you, it can cause pain and disease!
This is one of the most common questions I get from my private clients, Core Wellness Institute students, and GetToYourCore.com subscribers.
So for module 11 in the Institute course I recorded myself in the optimum sleep positions that create the least amount of stress on your body but I just couldn't keep it to course students only!
So today you get an insider's look into the coaching course. I hope you enjoy it and benefit from it!

Walking on ice is crazy dangerous if you don't have good core stability and good reaction time.
In this episode, even if there's no ice where you are, you get some excellent tips on how to reawaken your balance and prevent broken arms and hips from needless falls!
The key concept from the new paradigm of posture and core training from Prague unfortunately kind of kicks Pilates in the teeth…YIKES!
