This Rebalance Mobility Session is a great to do pre or post workout but it can also stand alone as a great mobility exercise. During this 40 minute class you will just be able to breathe, relax and just flow. This is a gentle practice that will leave you feeling loose, relaxed and in the zone.
Practicing mobility exercises such as the ones presented in this session can be extremely beneficial for balancing for your adrenal glands. These glands help your body process and combat stressors, both acute and chronic. Mobility and movement exercises functionally move stress out of your tissues on a connective tissue level to help to lower your body’s perception of stress (1). This means that when you take the time to incorporate these type of practices into your schedule (say 2 or 3 times a week to start) what you are really doing is literally processing out the stress that your body has to deal with day in and day out. This may not lighten your schedule or your responsibilities but it should at least not make those responsibilities and stressors feel so heavy!
What is the Community Circle?
Dr. Kourtney’s Community Circle was created as a love offering to our community. Circles represent the connectedness of everything in nature and in holistic healing all body systems are also interwoven and connected. Dr. Kourtney established this global Community Circle to create a safe and equitable space for the community to be able to come together on a regular basis to participate in different activities all geared towards healing of the mind, body and the spirit. Although everyone walks an individual journey to their most optimal health sometimes it can be beneficial to come together for some activities for group support. All Community Circle classes are free to members of Dr. Kourtney’s community (which is also free to join!).
The class is taught by Richie Norton on Fiit and is powered by the Fiit platform who has generously structured their platform to allow for this healing community experience.
