Years ago, I was listening to an interview with Jillian Micheals. And someone asked her, "What is the best kind of exercise?" Jillian's response:
The best exercise for you is the one that you will do on a regular basis.
But I don't think that is the way we think about exercise. We think that we have to get gross and sweaty in order for it to count. That we have to be able to run or walk a certain distance or a certain speed in order to even try. That we have to have a certain body type or abilities before we go to a yoga class. That we have to make ourselves really uncomfortable before exercise is good for us.
I'm hoping you will allow me the opportunity to change how you think about exercise. Or, as we'll call it in this offering, movement.
We will spend 4 weeks, beginning Friday, July 11th, learning to approach movement with an attitude of play and curiosity.
We will use observation to figure out what types of movement feel most affirming and fulfilling.
We will create a toolbox of movement options that are flexible and exciting with less pressure and emotional charge.
But, Krissie, I don't have time! Do you watch 15 minutes of tv three times a week? Then you have time. I'm serious.
How will we do this? Video lessons, journal prompts, Pinterest boards, facebook chats. 4 weeks.

From those that know my work...
Krissie is encouraging yet challenging and thought-provoking. I always walked away thinking about her challenges to me days (and in some cases even months) later. She is a creative and intentional woman who has been in my shoes--someone wanting to make a difference in their own personal life--be more active, be healthier, want to live a life that she absolutely adores--but also recognizes the other demands that grab our attention and distract us from our goal. She doesn't want to completely drown out those distractions but helps put in focus how they could be an ally to your success and what things need to be addressed in those areas of our live so that can happen. She gets it. ~ Faith C.
Krissie was able to quickly get to the heart of the challenges I was facing and offer me simple, effective strategies for overcoming them. Her voice was refreshing and honest, real and motivating. She cut through the clutter in my head and helped me evaluate myself from a different place. My experience with her was energizing! She is sincere and knows just how to help you be both brutally honest yet graciously kind to yourself at the same time. ~Angie P.
