Notes on Primal Move Ocala, Organic Food, and a Fairly Evil Workout
Yesterday's Primal Move workshop in Ocala, Florida was a TON of fun. We had a smaller group than some of the other workshops I've led before, but that ended up being just fine given the size of our location. Everyone who attended was very engaged, asked wonderful questions, and worked together as a great group. I'm curious to see what they come up with in their own training, … [Read more...] about Notes on Primal Move Ocala, Organic Food, and a Fairly Evil Workout
NYC for Al Kavadlo’s Book Signing Party and Some Beyond Organic Product Reviews
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).

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.

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??
Primal Move Comes to Gaithersburg and a Visit with Mike Krivka and Phil Ross
The recent Primal Move certification workshop in Gaithersburg (near Washington DC) went really really well. Mike Krivka's gym, CrossFit Koncepts was the perfect location for Primal Move as well as the RKC Recertification with Master RKC Phil Ross on the following day. A large open space, and good heaters running. Between you and me, I was a little concerned that we'd freeze in … [Read more...] about Primal Move Comes to Gaithersburg and a Visit with Mike Krivka and Phil Ross
Ohio Adventures: Primal Move, Restaurants, Bulletproof Coffee, Tire Flipping, Fun
It was an odd realization to be this far along in one's own adult life and realize that Ohio was a place I had never been. With some reservation, I had originally scheduled this particular Primal Move certification workshop for Dec 1st at Dave Clancy's rockin' facility Blue Chip Athletics / Buckeye Kettlebells. But the thought of being somewhere North of the Mason-Dixon line … [Read more...] about Ohio Adventures: Primal Move, Restaurants, Bulletproof Coffee, Tire Flipping, Fun
My First Time Leading a Certification Workshop – Primal Move Winter Park Florida
Its no secret that I'm nuts about Primal Move. Ever since being introduced to it in Seattle, I've enjoyed adding it to my small group's sessions, and exploring the movements at home. They've had a great effect on my own practice and have added infinite value to my CK-FMS knowledge. And while I was a little nervous to teach the first ever Primal Move Certification Workshop here … [Read more...] about My First Time Leading a Certification Workshop – Primal Move Winter Park Florida
