Swimming


Swimming is one of the best exercises for the body. It is very meditative, zero-impact on the body, all of the joints are being supported with long, lengthening strokes and it allows you to optimize your breath.

Swimmers have very long, lean muscles, because swimming is a very congruent way to strengthen the body. And swimming is a great method to speed up your metabolism, swimmers burn off everything they eat.

The quality that the water brings to your body is unmatched. Being in the water makes people comfortable. It allows people to go back to where they are from, all the way back in the womb, and because our bodies are 75-80% water, it is a natural environment for us. As a massage therapist in ocean beach, I always enjoy working with swimmers!
