πŸƒβ€β™€οΈ Think Before You Jump - with Dan Edwardes πŸƒβ€β™‚οΈ
When you hear the word "Parkour," what do you envision? Yes, the Hollywood version has actors jumping skyscraper rooftops and swinging down fire escapes while being chased by a helicopter.
But the true activity of Parkour isn't just for stunt actors and young, super-fit adrenalin junkies.
In the next episode of At the Core, you'll meet Dan Edwardes, founder and CEO of Parkour Generations, a multi-award winning and multi-national organization for parkour. We'll learn more about his passion for safety and teaching this art, as well as how its mind/body connection and brain stimulation bring real benefits -- physical and mental -- for participants of any ages and athletic abilities.

πŸ‘€ Eyes: The Window to Your Opportunities - with Franco Pablo Lococo
In this episode of "At the Core," you'll meet Franco Pablo Lococo. Once a professional Rugby player for Argentina and Italy, he now teaches the power of training your brain to better process visual information. πŸ‰
πŸ‘ Good vision isn't about having 20/20 eyesight, although that's the standard most of us know. What's more important is processing what we see in the most effective, efficient way. For athletes, who make split-second decisions, this could be the difference between winning and losing. For the general population this could mean fall prevention, improved daily living, improved reaction timing, and decreased pain.
⚑ As the creator and developer of Elite Vision Sticksβ„’, Franco trains the principles and techniques to exploit all the benefits that the visual system and executive brain function can bring to sports and daily life.

⚽ Perceive. Decide. React. - with Brett Johnson ⚽
As a pro soccer player, Brett Johnson played in three states and four countries. πŸ₯… After graduating with a neuroscience degree, he began combining both passions with the goal to help people around the world maximize their potential. The result: the SwitchedOn app he created is helping improve sports performance, enhance injury prevention/rehabilitation routines, and improve overall quality of life.
πŸ’‘ In this episode of At the Core, we'll explore with Brett how the "Perceive. Decide. React." sequence is for everybody -- not just soccer players and athletes -- and we'll uncover how that SwitchedOn app helps not only with rehab, stroke recovery, and cognitive therapy, but with our real-life situations and experiences.

⭐ Finding Motivation - with Tara Lyn Emerson ⭐
You might know Tara Lyn Emerson as a popular fitness professional with a huge Instagram following and as a trainer for TRX Training Club, Popsugar Fitness, and more. πŸ’ͺ
What you might not know is that her lifetime focus on fitness and wellness stems both from her athletic childhood and her early diagnosis of a progressive neuromuscular disease.
⚑ Far from allowing the disease to dictate her future and what she couldn't do, she chose to use the diagnosis of CMT to create a life focused on what she could do -- building on it every day and helping others discover how strong they can be.
In this episode of At the Core, we dig into tapping the power of motivation, the vital role of nutrition, how mindset affects everything, and more.

πŸ‘Ÿ Small Steps To Big Changes - with Svetlana Basukinskaya πŸ‘Ÿ
At age 20, Svetlana Basukinskaya was diagnosed with a brainstem cavernoma. 🧠 These benign vascular lesions often cause no symptoms, but Sveta's was devastating. It bled into her cerebellum, affecting her entire autonomic system, movement, balance, coordination, and much more. After surviving a six-hour brain surgery, Sveta's real work began. ⚑
In this episode, we'll learn how Sveta's focus on brain-based drills and neuroscience not only helped her recover, but thrive, as she now helps young athletes with neuro training.

Did you know that Joseph Pilates called his methodology "Contrology?" He believed if you focus your mind, you can control every muscle in your body.

We pride ourselves on providing modifications, progressions, and regressions for every exercise so that each individual can be properly challenged with attention to any injury prevention or special needs! ✌🏽 This basic oblique twist on the Pilates reformer is a perfect example!
1️⃣ Kneeling for more abdominal challenge and greater pelvic instability to challenge their core.
2️⃣ Sitting with legs dangling down for any knee pain or allowing the back to be erect for proper loading of the abs
3️⃣ Seated cross legged - the traditional option and great for those that do not have knee concerns and can sit up tall without propping up the hips
4️⃣ Seated on a box to alleviate hamstring tension that would compromise proper spinal alignment
This is just referring to modifications for how to sit! πŸ˜…πŸ˜…πŸ˜… What about spring tensions, arm placement, props, cueing, neck strain, wrist concerns, range of motion...? No matter what you're working with in your body, we've got you covered! πŸ€“πŸ˜˜
