Top 5 Lifestyle Tips For Daily Mindfulness, Connectivity And Synchronicity | By Amber of MISFITSTUDIO
Spring is a time for resetting and shifting your energy. The always inspiring Amber Joliat of MISFITSTUDIO Toronto has compiled five daily practices to help reconnect and live mindful.
MISFITMETHOD
MOVES+RITUALS
1. CALM
BREATH
Begin each day with breath
Even if you sit up in bed, before anything else, calm and clear
it sets the tone for your day
mind//body//soul
slowly breathe in and out the nose
to the count of 4
place left hand in heart to feel how your heart beat responds
as your breath slows, your heart will calm
this is living in a synchronized state
At any time you fall out of synch
simply repeat
no gimmicks
no tricks
just you
Join BE STILL, weekly meditation at ossington to keep you in practice
GET RELEASED a reset to connect you back to yourself
GET LUNAR in conjunction with the cycles of the moon, how we can fully embrace our pull to it and how it affects us physically, emotionally and spiritually
2. UNTANGLE
Here at MISFITSTUDIO we call it an untangling
Recognizing where in your physical body you are holding or storing knots and tension. AND, How to do the work to untangle
A tension free body encourages a tension free mind.
YOU ARE NOT YOUR THOUGHTS
the one thing we CAN control
is our thoughts
i see this as a practice
every time you obsess over something in the past or fixate in some shit that
(will probably never happen) in the future
re-set
create new pathways of thought
connect back to breath, heart, body
we call it UNTANGLING
Take a class, choose one you LOVE
We recommend ALLLLL the mat classes!
GET LIFTED for a more pilates focused hour
FUSION for a wild ride full of pilates, yoga and dance
Move your body, dance around, make shapes that are circular and spiral like
to remember that YOU hold the power to untangle
3. STRENGTH
OUR MANTRA IS
WHAT YOU REPEAT, YOU STRENGTHEN
Whether its a Reformer class or a Mat class
at MISFITSTUDIO, we like to press boundaries
This helps keep you focused, present, fully embodying your choice to move.
Pressing physical boundaries helps us to remember just how capable our body is!
The MISFITMETHOD is about stepping into gratitude
feeling GRATEFUL of what our body CAN do
rather than focusing on what it CANT do
Its important
Its the secret
It is the magic
Its the beginning of practicing "what you repeat, you strengthen"
Gratitude for our ABLE and STRONG bodies allows us to feel fully present
in each abdominal curl, each arm circle, each deep squat, each climber
Strong
Connected
from the inside out.
Try our GET STRONG reformer class and put this to practice
and our GET WORKED mat class for more opportunity to practice what your repeat, you strengthen
4. JOY
GET PHYSICAL
This class was designed with light and energy in mind.
A throwback to when movement for the sake of movement was real.
The joy it is to hear a song that LIFTS you up, crank the volume and dance together, forgetting about what you look like and simply moving into the joy of movement!!
To light up from the inside
Get out of your head
Back INTO your body
Jazzercise, High Kicks, Dance Cardio to remember the JOY of movement!!!!!!
We offer this class a few times a week, check it out
And drop the story around "im not a dancer"
that isnt helpful, especially to you
repeat the mantra in #3
honour the primal rhythm
dance for your SOUL!!!!!!!!!!!!!
5. ENERGIZE
GET SHIFTED
A movement experience created to shift you
A yang//yin journey
Where, at the end of one hour the sensation is overwhelming
Energized physically
Cleared out mentally
Connected Spiritually
A cathartic release of what ever you need to remember YOU
clear out the old
dance in the new
feel shifted mind//body//soul
check the schedule for alll the classtimes!
