I haven't written for nearly a month. It has been challenging these past few weeks as I continue to strive for more understanding of my biography, my self, my physical body and my energy body. Two key points... Standing in the chaos - I love to go fast and usually go faster in the midst [...]
Yeah! I looked out the window this morning and the buds are out on the trees that line my street! Although spring does not technically begin until the 20th, I can feel that winter is on it's way out. So much going on these days, it's been challenging to keep up with the day to [...]
OK - I've been in this business of movement for a lifetime, but the message really hit home last week as I SAT for over 40 hours in my Somatic Experience Training. Shocking to say the least. At first I thought it would be great to sit and rest for a few days since my [...]

I'm not one for resolutions. Intentions resonate better with me. But here it is, 16 days into the 2008 and I'm wondering what happened to my intentions. Two years ago I completely shifted my life. Closed the studio, left a realtionship and went off to India. Seemed at the time like a lot of drama [...]
It took me nearly 4 weeks and 4 body sessions to get me back to full range of motion. I found myself back at the doctor's office on Monday the 7th for a follow-up which meant a few injections, compression stockings again and no aerobic or strength training for another week. I was a mess. [...]
Rochelle Rice, MA, is a nationally-recognized speaker, author, and educator. She is the President of In Fitness & In Health and the creator of the Plus-Size Exercise Technique, which was designed based on her concerns about the inordinate stress put on thinness in our society, rather than fitness.
