I came to the practice of SuperSlow after I had already been teaching yoga in California for over 5 years. When I was first introduced to the technique and machines utilized in the SuperSlow method of high-intensity slow-moving weight training my initial reaction to the protocol was highly suspect. Yoga had had a healing and cathartic effect on my body and I did not believe that moving weights so slowly and for just 30 min. once a week could be of any great benefit.

A trainer/friend who I had met during a yoga class offered to put me through a workout. After one workout came another, and in the space of 6 months I decided that in addition to teaching yoga I wanted to become a SuperSlow trainer. She offered to apprentice me and one year later after working with her and completing the SuperSlow certification I was working @ her studio in Brentwood.

The myriad of benefits from this form of weight-lifting was startling. I began to put on and keep muscle mass. My pain and injuries decreased while my strength increased. My endurance increased - my abilities in yoga increased, and my overall sense of well-being improved.

And what I found even more remarkable during the 7 years I have been training others in this modality - is that these gains were possible not just for the 20-year olds or 30 or 40 or 50 year-olds but to anyone. Over the years I have many many many clients in their 60s 70s and into their late 80s and all have been able to see exceptional consistent results brought about in a safe and very time effective manner.

The principal itself is simple - applying perfect form and alignment - the muscle is worked to exhaustion while the body is kept safe and protected from excessive joint fatigue and injury. The body is allowed to recover - and amazing strength gains are made.

I am an advocate and believer that this system of lifting will help you gain and maintain a level of strength and health that heretofore you might not have believed possible for yourself. I look forward to meeting you - working with you - and helping you to a healthier stronger life.
