Just got back from a great time in NYC catching up a little at Al Kavadlo's book signing party for Pushing the Limits - a little while ago, Al had invited me to be a part of the book with an intense photoshoot taking place all over Manhattan - click here for some of that story (scroll down to 3rd question). Needless to say, getting to catch up with friends and watch Al sign a … [Read more...] about NYC for Al Kavadlo’s Book Signing Party and Some Beyond Organic Product Reviews

Another Great Time in Boston Part 1 with Primal Move and Tai Chi
Another whirlwind tour of the best Boston has to offer was sandwiched carefully between leading Primal Move workshops - an instructor certification workshop on Saturday, and then a 3hr "intro to" for all populations on Sunday. The group who signed up for the instructor cert were some of the smartest most capable instructors/trainers I've seen in a while - their individual … [Read more...] about Another Great Time in Boston Part 1 with Primal Move and Tai Chi
Good Mojo in the Dojo, a Kettlebell and Bodyweight Workout
The weather was supposed to be completely terrible - so we made plans to have the kettlebell small group class meet at the venerable martial arts hub known as East Coast Martial Arts Supply on Colonial. This store has been there forever, and recently we've begun a very nice friendship. Earlier in the week, I had a very fascinating intro to Systema lesson there and plan to … [Read more...] about Good Mojo in the Dojo, a Kettlebell and Bodyweight Workout
Boston Weekend (Part 1) and Dragon Door 18kg and 22kg Kettlebell Unboxing Video
Those of you following along on Instagram had a few sneak previews of some of the big fun this past weekend in Western MA and Boston - the adventure began with helping Amber of GiryaScope (Boston) lead a 4 hour intro/fine tuning kettlebell workshop at CrossFit Swarm in Westfield. The workshop sold out - and despite the freezing weather, showed up ready to learn and work. I … [Read more...] about Boston Weekend (Part 1) and Dragon Door 18kg and 22kg Kettlebell Unboxing Video
Saturday in the Park Workout
Normally, the kettlebell small group doesn't meet on Saturday, but a client had rescheduled for that afternoon, and since the weather outside was so nice, I sent out a quick message to see if anyone wanted to have a group workout the previous hour. Figured I'd go out there anyway - and do my own thing if not. Amusingly, several messages came in immediately and so - a group … [Read more...] about Saturday in the Park Workout
Ask GiryaGirl: The Century Workout and How Do You Keep From Swinging When Performing Hanging Knee or Leg Raises??
Starting to get seriously psyched about the first ever Progressive Calisthenics Certification Workshop planned for this coming June. Every time I even look at that page it's exciting to see my name up there as an instructor with Al and Danny Kavadlo. Amusingly enough, I'm almost just as excited to get my paws on the 600 page manual Paul Wade has written especially for the … [Read more...] about Ask GiryaGirl: The Century Workout and How Do You Keep From Swinging When Performing Hanging Knee or Leg Raises??
Hodge Podge of an Update
There's a lot to catch up on, and it's embarrassing to see that nearly a whole week has gone by without an update on here. Let's fix that right now. I woke up Tuesday morning to find the post-holiday blues obliterated by a message from Triton Nutrition telling me that I had won their Extreme Athlete drawing. Getting awesome stuff delivered never gets old... and I'm really … [Read more...] about Hodge Podge of an Update
Short Report from RKC San Diego!
Another great RKC workshop has just come to a close in San Diego (surprisingly sunny even when it was overcast all day on Saturday*). So many old and new friends were in attendence, that it was great to catch up and hear how everyone is doing in their training and in their lives. Seriously, it was a veritable who's-who in the RKC and fitness industry... Not to mention all … [Read more...] about Short Report from RKC San Diego!
Seattle… Primal Move, Body Hero, Intense Tea Time, and more
Just got back from Seattle at the Primal Move (Charge) Workshop with Peter Lakatos. You'll be hearing more and more about Primal Move because it is simply a fantastic system - accessible AND intensely advanced at the same time, I am planning on learning as much about it as humanly possible. It has a certain quality about it that just MAKES you want to get good at it - it … [Read more...] about Seattle… Primal Move, Body Hero, Intense Tea Time, and more
Beyond Organic Founders Conference
Just got back from the Beyond Organic Founders Conference - really feeling like quite the road warrior this month, as I will have spent over 1.5x what I pay in rent for an entire month on hotel rooms for the past week. LOL. Did spend one night at home - was there for about 12hrs - long enough to sleep, take a bath, get caught up on a few online tasks and wash a load of … [Read more...] about Beyond Organic Founders Conference
