The magic in Avita is that it forces me to slow down, let the body do its work. My student said to me, “Margaret, you've taught me body consciousness and how to get into my mind.” - Margaret Auger
When training clients, I focus on mobility because it’s how the joint moves, whereas flexibility is an inherent characteristic that we are born with. –Jeff Bailey
Weights are not necessary for strength training. We have enough internal resistance that can make our bones stronger and regain mobility in our joints. –Jeff Bailey
