Restorative Exercise
Restorative Exercise (RE) is a movement certification with Nutritious Movement® founder Katy Bowman.
We move in ways that conserve energy, so we often move in habitual ways or patterns. This is efficient, in the sense that it doesn't require a lot of thought or variability, but it reduces our movement options, especially over time, as those patterns become more ingrained.
In class, we assess movements from the simple to the complex. The goal is to improve variability, increase tolerance and build endurance, resulting in an overall improvement in health and ability. Moving improves circulation and brings oxygen to underused areas. To put it simply, we move more parts of our bodies more often and more efficiently.
My classes are suitable for all ages but I focus on women in the 50-70+ range--women facing challenges specific to aging such as OA, OP, balance issues, etc. I have Bone Fit™ Level 2 certification and provide modifications for those with osteoporosis.
Whether you are new to a movement practice or someone with an established practice looking for anwers, I offer support, modifications, props suggestions, and can scale movements to your current ability.
The Foundations membership is your starting place, open to all and with weely live classes and a library of recorded classes to keep you moving.
