Why are you emailing me about Squats?


Dear Reader,

Squat Challenge for Sensitives: An annual program for sensitive nervous systems.
​
​How did it start? I got on a squatting kick a few years ago in August. (Thanks to reading the great book, Built to Move by the Starretts.) I turned it into a weeklong challenge. I think I might have said 100 squats a day back then!! Wow.

Why August? I realized doing bodyweight squats had a huge impact on my nervous system and mental health which aligned perfectly with Differential Susceptibility month.

How long is it? This year for the first time, I'm doing the Squat Challenge the whole month. 10 Squats a day for 30 days. But no one is policing you (or me).

What does it cost? You choose. There are three rates: $7, 17, or 27 for the month. You should choose the rate that will make you most likely to watch the videos and do the squats. If you need to pay more to keep yourself accountable, you can send me a donation, lol. I won't know how much you are paying. I don't look.

How does it work? We will send you videos 3-4 times a week to inspire you. And you will be invited to join me live on Zoom or IG a few times during the month to squat together and check in.

IN FACT, the first LIVE CHECK-IN, a 10-minute Zoom is TODAY!

Want to check it out? Come on over and squat with me, no commitment.​

As a sensitive person with a reactive nervous system, you are EXTREMELY responsive to intervention! There are so many ways we can reset, heal, and recover, and one of my favorites is body weight exercise. That's why I created the Squat Challenge to align with Differential Susceptibility month. Join a diverse group of intrepid adventurers who agree to do 10 (only 10?) squats every day.

Even if you join today, you will still receive all the videos. Most importantly, you will know you are part of an intrepid group of sensitives committed to mental, emotional, and nervous system health.

See ya soon,
Alane

Dear Reader, Welcome to the Equinox Yes, it is officially the first day of Autumn and the mark of equal dark and equal light. Equivalent. Equ is a wonderful Latin root.

How will you celebrate the beginning of this transition? And how will you prepare for all the transitions the Autumn Equinox presages? Transitions are wonderful, but they require...
