The GLOW Body Principles

I took the principles I learned and made them mine, adding my own concepts until they became the foundation of everything I teach. Here is what makes GLOW Body GLOW Body.

• Fluid Breath, relaxed, focused breath using full lung capacity. Breathing correctly feeds strong abdominals, stabilizes the torso, and raises oxygen, circulation and flexibility. Each exercise has its own breath.
• Stability, the pelvis and lower back stay stabilized, neutral or imprinted. Awareness of breath and abdominal engagement settles the rib cage, and stabilizing the shoulder blades keeps the neck and shoulders safe.
• Control, every movement is inspired by complete control of body and mind. Even the transitions between exercises are part of it: staying in the zone, honoring the principles.
• Body Awareness, be present and focused on your best form. Feel the deep muscle connections; you reap the benefit of every movement as each fiber responds.
• Opposition, think of two points lengthening away from each other. Bring that into each movement and the body becomes streamlined, the muscles working in a whole new way.
• Flow, continual movement, engaged muscles, deep breath, fluid motion. The body quickly feels the deep work.
• Centering, the core is the powerhouse, the place every exercise begins. A strong center means safe, effective movement (and great abs).
• Precision, every movement, every count, is purposeful, and the way you attain it is specific, controlled, centered, and flowing.

Why it works

It is not about grinding your joints, pushing to extremes, or competing. It is mindful movement, easing into what your body needs to flow and be its best self. That is how I get lasting results without ever jarring the body.
