Free Thai massage pop ups at these lovely community events in Portland are so fun! Mis Tacones 🌮🌮🌮 are good people and seem to only attract good people and the best vibes ✨
I’ve been practicing for 13 years but it’s still so rewarding to share this healing art with others, and especially those experiencing it for the first time 🥰 Over the years, I’ve met some long term friends and clients at my booth, and I’m excited to keep showing up in community in this way! 💐 I even got to be next to Mariquita Medicinals flower booth this time! So dreamy.
“Supersets are a workout technique where you pair two exercises that *typically* target different muscles and do them back-to-back with little to no rest in between.” (Definition courtesy of Hevy - Gym Workout Tracker 👏)
These are the superset pairings I offered last week in my “Lift Strong” class at Lloyd Athletic Club 🙌 We executed 6 complementary pairs of exercises, 3 rounds each, at light, moderate, or heavy weight. When using lighter weight, participants carried out higher rep ranges (10-12), moderate rep ranges (8-10) with moderate weight, and lower rep ranges (6-8) with heavier weight. Because this is a larger group fitness class in a studio space, we generally use lighter weights in the form of barbells, dumbbells, step benches with risers, and even chairs, bands, blocks, and blankets 🤗
The key is to find the appropriate entry point for YOU and to progress that variation over time with consistency 👏 Variations shown in these videos were not the only variations offered! Feel free to DM if you’re having trouble finding the way to make these exercises accessible 💪
It’s never “all-or-nothing,” and there’s always a way to modify the exercise or find one that’s similar-enough!

Partner Massage and Assisted Stretching for Couples and Individuals in SE Portland, OR!
I love this combination of techniques for a powerful effect on your partner’s shoulders! Stretching the triceps is always a good idea to help address tension on the back of the arm, reaching down to the side bodies. And everyone loves some good compression at the middle and upper traps (those big muscles at the top of the shoulders that connect to your neck)! Using your forearm in a kneeling or lifted lunge, is an efficient way to not wear out your hands while massaging your partner’s shoulders. Try this out and let me know how it feels!
