RELAXED PERFORMANCE
A Practice for the Body, Breath, and Nervous System
Because stress is not bad for your health,
but having a low tolerance to stress is.
“The more relaxed you are,
the better you are at everything:
the better you are with your loved ones,
the better you are with your enemies,
the better you are at your job,
the better you are with yourself.”
-Bill Murray

MYOFASCIAL STRETCHING
Stress, emotions, nerves, muscles, and more, all live within the fascia. Skillfully stretching this part of the body can have a powerful impact on all of it. From our physical posture to the state of the nervous system. Tightness in this tissue can be cause for alarm and keep us overly vigilant. Counter to that, releasing our fascia can bring a sense of calm and ease to our entire being.
ELDOA
A powerful method to create space at the different joints of our body. When we lose space in the body it can get cranky and guarded. These postures were created by a famous Osteopath named Guy Voyer. They are incredibly healing and liberating to help improve how we feel, move, and function. These exercises can leave you feeling a greater sense of ease and freedom throughout the body.
BREATHWORK
Some refer to the breath as the language of the nervous system. That nervous system is always listening, whether we’re conscious of our breath or not. We live in fight-flight or rest-digest depending on how we’re breathing. We can use this to our advantage and skillfully use the breath to impact our state.
ALL PROTOCOLS DESIGNED BY AN OSTEOPATH
Ryan created this practice heavily influenced by his education as a fully certified Osteopath. You will experience the osteopathic approach within each protocol. The body is an interconnected unit that has the amazing capacity to heal itself. It just needs the right inputs. That’s the aim of this practice.
WHY RELAXED PERFORMANCE?
Grinding our way to better health and performance is no longer the way.
Athletics revealed that I played best when I was relaxed.
Osteopathy taught me that I, and my patients, feel better when relaxed.
Spirituality agrees that life is sweeter when relaxed and present.
Our hips and shoulders function better, our lower back hurts less, the tension in our neck goes away, we breathe better, digest better, the list goes on.
We’re meant to be relaxed most of the time, yet somewhere we learned that harder was better. Our biology disagrees.
So how do we relax?
We learn to speak the language of our nervous system to gain it’s trust.
Practicing the way we move, breathe, and mindfully engage with our body.
This is what we’ll practice here. Fostering the super power of staying relaxed, even under duress.
Forging a whole new relationship with stress. For better health, performance, and experience.
