Personal Update

A whole weekend of learning is complete after attending my first ISSN Annual Conference. It was held in Ft. Lauderdale Florida so, it was a really quick drive up from Miami to attend the event. Besides the education discussed in the presentation, attending this event taught me that I am grateful for not having a long daily commute to/from my job and that even short breaks away from “the daily grind” can be a welcomed relief when you are starting to feel a little stressed or overwhelmed. Now to the conference. It was the 20th annual conference and it ran like a well-oiled machine. The speakers all had about 35 minutes to make their presentation, and sometimes it was on some pretty complex stuff. I liked the shorter presentation structure because it forced the presenters to really stick to the topic, include very important info and stories, and not ramble or rant off-topic. It was a pretty good conference and I was surprised it wasn’t bigger than only ~200 people being as it’s an international organization.

Fantastic Podcast I listened to last week

Perry Nicekston: Stop Chasing Pain| Episode 243: Jill Miller- Body By Breath: The Science and Practice of Physical and Emotional Resilience

Show Notes: Jill Miller, C-IAYT, ERYT, is the co-founder of Tune Up Fitness Worldwide and creator of the self-care fitness formats Yoga Tune Up® and The Roll Model® Method. With more than 30 years of study in anatomy and movement, she is a pioneer in forging relevant links between the worlds of fitness, yoga, massage, athletics, and pain management. She is known as the Teacher’s Teacher and has trained thousands of movement educators, clinicians, and manual therapists to incorporate her paradigm-shifting self-care fitness programming into athletic and medical facility programs internationally.

My Notes: Breathwork as a continual practice has made a resurgence in all aspects of the industry and I am seeing it being practiced in all specialties more and more. I knew of Jill years ago for her work in Tune Up Fitness, but the way she speaks about the power of some practiced breathing is refreshing. We are all looking for interventions that can help our clients and her approach to using breathwork and understanding the functions of the diaphragm can be a valuable tool to help your clients. Breathing is one of those things we never think about until we need to or something goes drastically wrong, and I think there is work here that can be used in an evidence-based approach to fitness without some of that stigma of it only being stuff those hippies do. I’m sorry, but if you start getting into spiritual language while talking about this kind of stuff, then you lose me right away, haha.
