PHYSICAL CONDITIONING

Whether you are developing core strength, flexibility, pursuing physical excellence, or just wanting to feel more at home in your body, Diamond Body offers you many possibilities.  Starting with the mind, I will work with you to develop compassionate awareness as you engage your body. When distracted, exercise will lead to poor performance, frustration, boredom and even injury. Awareness of your body sensations empowers you to make adjustments and improvements. In doing so you avoid injury and strain, reap more benefit from your exercise, and increase your athletic ability over time. Strong mind, Strong body.

 “Alignment is a continual dialogue between awareness and action … becoming aware of the relationships that exist throughout our body/mind and acting from that awareness.”

“I've always had a tough time with exercise routines, but Carrie was able to focus on what my body needed and teach me exercises that improved my posture and rid me of lower back pain. After some basic classes, I felt much more motivated and prepared to work on an overall fitness program.”

“Carrie always finds ways to increase my strength, my flexibility and especially my understanding of how my body is working.  She incorporates yoga, pilates, and bodywork into her sessions, combines them with her education in body dynamics and adds warmth, motivation and compassion.”
