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!

I don’t write this to be condescending but to encourage discernment, people on the Internet do not know you and can’t make general advice on the Internet that is specific to your individual needs.
You have to develop a system to figure it out for yourself.
For example, I get comments about my videos like these all the time…
will this help me with my back pain?
is this good for tight hips?
I’m hypermobile can I do this?
I simply don’t know because I don’t know you. I’m a physical therapist, but I’m not your physical therapist 🤷🏾♀️
This is yet another reason why I wrote my book movement for everybody. It can help you learn yourself and learn how to sharpen your discernment!

I think one of the many reasons my stuff doesn’t blow up like some other fitness, wellness, and health creators is that I don’t tell people that whatever I’m sharing is going to cure and fix them.
And I shan’t be changing that anytime soon.

Hi friends! There will be no upload today thanks to the winter storm last weekend.
I hope all affected are safe, warm, and have everything needed. 🙏🏾
I’m good over but it’s been a wild week.

what I love about my YouTube channel is that the follow along flows are organized by position. so you can find what your body needs today.
want to stand? eye gotchu
need to have a lil seat? no prob.
ready to go but only on the floor? sure thing pop.

I think we can all work on building a better posture, probably.
Anyways follow along and let's get stronger together.

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!
