Dear Roots of Integrity Clients and Friends, The last two years have meant a lot of change for our business and personal lives.  When the pandemic started I was running an advanced teaching skills Residency program to build our staff (with Sylvie included), planning a trip to California to teach my 1st off-site Compassionate Movement Practice for Cancer course for instructors (a part of a larger program that also includes auto-immune conditions and chronic health), I was also going to take a GYROTONIC Jumping Stretch Board course with a world renowned Master Trainer while there, and had ..read more

Today I found it necessary to join the masses in sending out an email to all of our clients and followers letting them know the measures we are taking to ensure we have their health and safety in mind. I was previously assuming they would ‘just know’, but with every business sending out their email regarding the virus it started to feel similar to our recent use of social media, “pictures or it didn’t happen”, mindset. I felt as though it would look like we were neglecting the issue if I did not send an email. So we did. (You can see the information contained in that email below this post ..read more

Tips for a Healthier Fall

It is that time of year (some call it “flu season”), time for some tips for a healthier fall.  I am already seeing folks coming into the studio with their coughs and sniffles, even some rashes and skin issues. This may be allergies due to seasons’ change, or viral situations. I am also hearing folks report that they are getting or just received their flu vaccination for the year. All of this to say, it is time for some reminders for your health, and the health of the clients we share space with (some with compromised immune systems). We are here to help guide you through, and to, support fo ..read more

Olivia’s review of Week 3 My third week at Roots of Integrity has been my favorite week so far! It was filled with many exciting opportunities and lots of learning from Madeline, Val, and Briana. On Monday, Madeline showed me how to navigate MindBody, taught me how to input client information, file paperwork, schedule appointments, purchase class packages, and successfully organize the business as a whole. Throughout the week, she trusted me to perform these tasks on my own with her guidance as needed. I really enjoyed spending time with her and learning about her position at ROI.

Olivia’s Synopsis of Week 2 My second week at ROI was both similar and different than my first week’s experiences. I was introduced to the business side of MindBody, I learned how to answer the phones and sign clients up for packages, as well as ensuring clients are up-to-date on their packets, and I sat in on the monthly “All Staff Meeting.” In addition to understanding the ropes of the business, I was used as the example Pilates client for a new instructor to teach on, as well as I participated in yoga classes. It was definitely a more active week for me in the studio for sure! On Tuesday mo ..read more

Olivia’s first week

Throughout my first week I observed 12 different clients, either once or multiple times, in private or small class Pilates, Gyrotonics, and Gyrokinesis. Previously, I have taken Pilates classes, but very few and not very recently. And, I had never seen gyrotonics or gyrokinesis. Overall, I noticed the importance of the breath and breathing throughout these exercises. Specifically, when to inhale during the movement and when to exhale during the movement. The breath and breathing is as important as the exercise, or general movement, itself. In all cases, the breath guides the movement. In addit ..read more

Do you even journal?………. could journaling be the key to chronic health management.

Journaling is something we recommend often for our coaching clients, therapist often recommended it for their patients as well. I’m great at telling my clients to journal and not great at keeping up with my own personal practice of journaling. And for those of us with chronic health conditions it is probably one of the most important, yet daunting, tasks. Conjuring up the energy and emotional stamina to journal is usually the hard part. You may not want to “rehash” the symptoms or frustrations of your last 24-48 hours because you are too tired or you want to just move on from it. Or you may be ..read more

Knowing when to stop coaching……

I intend on writing articles much more frequently than I do.  I get ideas, or itches, to write based on things I feel passionate about, but often I do not follow-through, I worry the topic is too controversial, or I fear I am going to be perceived as self-important. Today, something struck me to finally write again.  And I think my dear friend that inspired this would be proud! This topic could be expanded on a ton, and maybe I will continue on this topic more as the mood strikes and time allows.  But for now, here are my thoughts on why we, as health and fitness professionals, need to know w ..read more

The Motivational World Of Holistic Fitness

Tired Of Treadmills? Bored Of Bicycles? Weary Of Weights? Anyone who has tried and failed to incorporate a vigorous exercise routine into their life understands these feelings. Though a trip to the gym may leave you with that feeling of accomplishment the first few times around, for many, the novelty of intense exercise soon wears off, and returning for another exhausting bout with the cross trainer no longer seems so appealing. As human beings, the temptation to procrastinate never really fails to get the better of us, and it’s easier to slip out of the habit of practicing fitness than it is ..read more
