What's in a Name?

Naming a business is pretty crazy.  It has to be something that resonates, something you don't mind seeing and saying a million times a day.  I went through a couple of possibilities but struggled to find something that I felt truly represented me and my mission.  It wasn't until I'd almost settled on a different name (needing to meet a deadline) that it came to me one sleepless night (as most good ideas tend to do).  Every breath is movement, and every movement is an opportunity for improved fitness. 

During the Stott Pilates certification I learned about using the 3-dimensional breath and intentionally connecting each inhale and exhale to every movement.  The result was greater connection to my core and more control over my movements.  When I went through the Foundation Training certification I was introduced to decompression breathing; using the breath in combination with the muscles to create more space and actively resist gravity.  These two concepts have transferred so seamlessly into my daily life that I began to realize a simple fact about fitness.  Fitness doesn't just happen at the gym or in a workout class.  Fitness is a way of life.  Quite literally, every breath offers us another chance for a healthy, active life.  And that was it.  Breathe Fitness was born :)
