Move with Marcia
Hi! I'm Dr Marcia (she/they). I'm a Doctor of Physical Therapy, author of Movement for Every Body, child of Haitian immigrants, chronic illness warrior, powerlifting strongwoman, and certified yoga teacher.
All bodies, abilities, sizes, strengths, & genders are welcome here to learn all things physical therapy, yoga, mobility, & strength. You'll find 3-5 minute quick tutorials on yoga poses (of all kinds) and exercises as well as 5-25 minute follow along mobility flows and yoga flows.
I love offering different options for different bodies to explore, accessible variations, and tips to scale up or down moves in my videos. I love to move slowly with intention and mindfulness, I hope you love moving with me!

nothing without intention! That includes movement, so don’t skip your warm up.
Warm up to check in with your mind & body (in a way that makes sense for you) because bulldozing through doesn’t serve you…
skipping over body signals & mindset is not a good look, it’s disembodiedment. We live in a society that needs us disconnected, untethered and in a rush.
Slow down.

If your mid back always feels stiff and you don't mind kneeling on the ground, give this a shot!

still pmo every time a mobility fit chick or shredded Chad bro promises their one move will cure a specific problem for every one.
1) they don’t know everybody so they are already wrong.
2) quick fixes rarely exist. some things can’t even be cured and for the things that can it takes boring consistent effort doing basic moves, not circus tricks.
so anyways, this is your remind that everything on the internet is not for everybody. exploration, curiosity, and agency should always be the vibe!

idk who needs to hear this but exercise, working out, movement, whatever you want to call it can be about joy instead of punishment.

this is your super de duper casual reminder that doing less for ONE day or even a week will not automatically ruin your progress.
Burning yourself out will. Running your body into the ground will. Sometimes we need more rest and it really is that simple.
