Martial Art holds a high reputation among many who have watched their young ones grow through the practice. Most parents say their children develop discipline, respect and concentration, along with better strength, endurance and balance. These transferable skills will often follow students into adulthood and continue to shape their actions and worldview. Science is beginning to document improved resiliency and symptoms of autism and ADHD among those who practice on a regular basis, including social interactions, self-regulation, attention, memory and cognitive functioning.

Life, Our Best Teacher
What if we begin to see our life as an amazing spiritual classroom and treat every situation that we encounter as a spiritual endeavour? Experiencing life as an ongoing dance that allows us to learn when to hold on and let go. A sacred opportunity to take full ownership of all our feelings, thoughts, and old stories that we tell ourselves. Then let us be guided inwards and enlightened about what we need to learn, rather than blame, judge, or play victim to ourselves or others. Allowing more compassion, love, wisdom, joy, and ease into every action we choose.
Abs of Steel or Jelly Belly?
Your pelvis is a ring of bones held together by ligaments and muscles. These muscles engage every time you walk, sit, stand, run, or even breathe! Weak stabilizing muscles cause your pelvis to move too much and surrounding muscles contract to control the excess movement, leading to chronic muscle tightness. By strengthening the core, our bodies are able to withstand these forces without muscle spasms. Some of the best exercises for core involve maintaining a neutral spine position and resisting forces. Your physiotherapist can give you specific exercises to improve your strength, while relaxing other muscles through manual therapy techniques.
