Superheroes that wish to make a real difference must train themselves in peak energy, resilience and performance. Such energy comes from an ability to generate, maintain and magnify one’s biophysical resources.

Fellow Hero, I bring you a simple and short yoga sequence that is dear to my heart (and neck). As I spend solid amounts of time sitting in front of a computer, I have been forced to discover stretching and strengthening sequences that skillfully release upper back, shoulder and neck pain.

In fact, stressed out eyes can lead to many unpleasant experiences, and these results, while not life threatening, can even become chronic:...

As a personal trainer and stress/wellness expert, people often share with me their health situations. And, I almost always encourage some form of physical movement, embodiment or just simple warm-up exercises. Yet I cannot tell you how many times the response I get when suggesting this is some version of ‘I just don’t have time to stop and stretch. I’ve got too much to do.’ Well, in the name of being an excuse-destroyer, I have created a simple, quick and...
