COFFEE & CONVERSATION:
IS BAREFOOT BALANCE FOR ME?

When: Friday, July starting in June 2022
4:30-5:30PM
Where: In-studio only

When the muscles in the feet are activated, it creates a chain reaction that also activates muscles deep in the pelvis, hip, diaphragm and trunk. This results in greater stability of your entire body, making movement more efficient, and moving with greater efficiency means it takes less effort to do the same amount of work. Podiatrist & Human Movement Specialist Dr. Emily Splichal principally focuses on functional and regenerative medicine, especially the role of anti-aging science as it relates to movement longevity. Her unique barefoot training approach has been taught to over 20,000 professionals in more than 35 countries.

Learn more about this from Barefoot Training Specialist and trainer Holly Carpenter. Holly recently received her certification under Dr. Emily Splichal, and is excited to share what she has learned with the Body Move’s community.

In June, Body Moves launched a 6-Week Barefoot Strong training series as an introduction to what will become a progressive Active Living class selection (to begin this fall). For students less active or able, Barefoot Balance can be even more beneficial! Learn how by joining us for Coffee & Conversation on Friday, July 22 or August 12, at 11:45AM

BODY MOVES BOOK CLUB:
DOPAMINE NATION by IS BAREFOOT BALANCE FOR ME?

When: Saturday, July 29
11:00AM – 12:ooPM
Where: In-studio only

Body Moves student Susie Bender, a confessed sugar addict, is excited to talk about this book as it relates well to her current wellness journey.

In Dopamine Nation, Dr. Anna Lembke, psychiatrist and author, explores the exciting new scientific discoveries that explain why the relentless pursuit of pleasure leads to pain…and what to do about it. Condensing complex neuroscience into easy-to-understand metaphors, Lembke illustrates how finding contentment and connectedness means keeping dopamine in check. The lived experiences of her patients are the gripping fabric of her narrative. Their riveting stories of suffering and redemption give us all hope for managing our consumption and transforming our lives. In essence, Dopamine Nation shows that the secret to finding balance is combining the science of desire with the wisdom of recovery.(copied amazon.com)

This book pairs well with other Body Moves workshops on our brain functions and how we can train it, just as we do other physical muscles. Join us as we continue to explore with topic within the Body Moves community.
