THE LINK BETWEEN OUR BODY AND MIND
- THE LINK BETWEEN OUR BODY AND MIND is powerful because of their effects on each other. Stretching releases endorphins in the brain reducing pain, as well as regulating mood and emotions.
- Jill uses the term therapeutic to describe her stretches because she feels that breath work, using good body mechanics, and performing stretches appropriately are all necessary for pain relief or preventative measures to achieve and/or maintain optimal health.
- Jill teaches several mindfulness breathing exercises throughout the entire Thai Stretch Workout session. She also encourages models and practices with the client's ways to move towards progressively holding stretches for extended periods to avoid body-driven resistance which is a normal process. This type of stretching subconsciously retrains the brain from the habitual “protective state” (stretches held for less than 20 seconds).
- Most of the complaints Jill reports hearing include “I feel overwhelmed” “I feel hopeless and/or worthless and it is hard to get things done” “My entire body or parts of my body aches and hurts” and “I am so stressed out” and “My life has become unmanageable and this has forced me to seek help” If either of the above sounds like YOU, Jill invites you to attend one of her Group Stretch Workouts or to Schedule a 1 on 1 Session with her...

Ways to Feel Good About Yourself
- Poor Posture puts stress on the body and most often causes pain or discomfort down the road. Prioritizing your body/spinal alignment is very important. Body Alignment and Good Posture improvements take time and conscious daily awareness. Spinal mobility stretching practices are most beneficial during this process.
- Major muscles-tendon groups: When tight muscles (neck, shoulders, chest, torso, back, hips, legs, calves, ankles, and feet) are stretched thoroughly, deep layers of connective tissue are released, and natural range of motion is restored. Stretching helps you recognize and experience the light discomfort that opens up your muscles from pain.
- When muscles are held in a position for long periods, such as sleeping on your side, sitting/lying with your head in an awkward position, talking on the phone without a headset, sitting for long hours viewing a computer screen and mouse clicking, muscles are programmed to stay in that position. Over time, if these muscles do not get a rest, they become weak, tight, sore, achy, and/or injured… Stretching keeps blood flowing and improves your range of motion.
- Stretching may seem hard to do if you are not used to doing it regularly. However, if you decide to make stretching an enjoyable daily practice with focused breathing, you are likely to get more flexible each time.
- Listen to Your Body and Go Slow: It is never a good idea to bounce or force a stretch to a point that it hurts. When elongating connective tissue slowly and allowing it to become more elastic gradually, it nourishes – repairs - restores the muscles.
- Movement prevents you from losing your ability to remain flexible and functional… Stretching helps you continue to move better and perform as intended to!!!

A Word about Jill's Stretch
- The first thing Jill suggests you do is to speak with your physician before stretching if they are experiencing any pain issues that disrupt their daily activities. If your physician determines that there is no medical diagnosis needed, Jill is here to help!
- Jill’s goal is to work alongside you helping you find solutions for your chronic pain concerns. She specializes in educating individuals about the causes of restrictive poor circulation, repetitive muscle holding patterns, and the detrimental effects of poor posture. Disclaimer: Health (mental, physical, and psychological) related information shared by Jill is not advice.
- Stretching slowly allows us to get in touch with bodies on a deeply intimate level and our minds relax as well. WE start to notice within a few sessions that the chatter that used to go on in our minds begins to quiet down. Developing a sounding mind: When our pace is slowed down, we are better able to listen and respond to our needs effectively.
- During the stretching process, awareness takes place as oxygen and blood cells are being nurtured and energized emotionally, physically, and mentally. The toxins that build up due to our daily activities and repetitive movements are much more easily eliminated.
- Jill uses a “No Rush” approach to stretching, to ensure that her clients develop a strong core while experiencing the power of breath and movement in a gentle flow (not pushing ourselves) that equally strengthens and stretches the muscles to prevent muscle imbalances, as well as increase flexibility giving them the relaxation that feels good.
- Jill discourages stretching beyond your means and encourages deep breathing exercises. Although all of the stretching techniques she uses are safe, she still encourages individuals to consult with their physicians if they have any concerns about receiving her That Stretch Workout!
