Adopting a healthier lifestyle. Inside and out.


We see more and more people embarking on the journey toward a healthier lifestyle.  Of course everyone knows that diet and exercise are both crucial, but feeling good on the inside matters too.  Learning to manage and overcome stressful situations is just as important as learning to exercise each day and eat your vegetables.

What's New at Transcend...

 
 
Mindful Fitness is a method that marries physical exercise with mindfulness, as a means to: 
 
  • increase connection to the body and its messages
  • increase the ability to be present
  • decrease reactivity and compensatory behaviors, and
  • correct physical and emotional imbalances
 
By honoring a client's unique pace and ability through out the workout, we can uncover vulnerability and areas that need to be strengthened to optimize function.  Because we bring our mental patterns in the way we workout, we can use the workout to correct and/or release what no longer serves us, without having to rehash the stories.  Clients will heal by developing their ability to sit with whatever feeling arises in the moment without avoiding it, compensating or numbing and without the commentary of the mind. Mindful fitness is about strengthening our emotional muscles as well as developing a strong physical core.

It's been used successfully with addiction issues, self-esteem and behavioral problems, among others.
