Before MOVE+breathe existed, John and I ran two separate businesses.

I had a yoga studio. John had a sports performance & training gym.

We shared clients, people who were lifting with him and practicing yoga with me, and over time, we started noticing the same thing: when people did both, they felt better. They moved better. They recovered better. They stayed healthier longer.

Eventually, we realized we weren’t meant to work separately, we were meant to work together. And that’s where the philosophy behind MOVE+breathe was born.

Our philosophy is simple we call it: A balanced movement diet.

Most of us understand what a balanced food diet looks like. You wouldn’t eat only chicken, even though protein matters. You also wouldn’t eat only broccoli, even though it’s full of fiber and phytonutrients. Your body needs variety to truly thrive.

Movement works the same way. We think of movement in three essential buckets.

The first is cardio.
We believe this is best done outdoors whenever possible. Walking, jogging, biking, hiking, running, pickleball. Getting outside matters. Sunlight matters. Fresh air matters. Lifting your eyes away from screens and moving in the real world matters. We all need 150 minutes of cardio each week.

The second bucket is strength.
This is where classes like MOVE, BURN, and CORE come in. Strength training supports bone health, muscle health, and long-term resilience. We recommend getting into the gym at least two but ideally three times per week to build and maintain strength.

The third bucket is recovery.
This includes yoga, our flow, gentle and ROLL classes are all great options. Recovery supports mobility, joint health, nervous system regulation, and mental well-being. It’s not a bonus, it’s essential.

When these three buckets are in balance, people feel better in their bodies: physically, mentally, and emotionally. They move better. They recover better. Their heart health, bone health, and overall well-being improve.
