02 Jun June is Bustin’ Out All Over
By Laura Martin-Eagle When I was little this song was in one of my songbooks of piano music. To me this one was hilarious because I thought it was about boobs. It’s not.

20 Jan (Self)Reflection on Be Moved Studio in 2021
by Laura Martin-Eagle
It is hard to believe that our doors have been closed for almost a year now. I have walked into the studio several times in these past months and can still feel you. It has been the closest to a hug that I have felt in quite awhile. In all honesty, I have been struggling with my decision to keep the studio open.

06 Feb Free Community Yoga at Be Moved Studio
by Laura Martin-Eagle Be Moved Studio has been offering classes for almost 20 years. For most of that time, there was no advertising other than word of mouth yet folks still found their way up the stairs to us. About 25 years ago, I took three of my babies to jamaica. We walked to the road where the guys hung out by their parked cars waiting...
06 Jan Meditation
by Nezam Ardalan Think about it this way. Mediation and Mindfulness are asking you to be naked.John Kabat Zinn says mindfulness is paying attention “on purpose, in the present moment, non-judgmentally" In other words, we make a decision (on purpose) to be here, now (present moment) and drop our filters (non-judgment).One of the core question in meditation is, what is my natural state? What do I...
