In reflecting on the word of the month “support” I’ve been thinking about what supports me in different aspects of my life. For a large part of the day, structurally and biomechanically, it’s my feet. They are the primary foundation and amazingly the most important component for optimal alignment of our entire body. I am currently doing […]
Cleansing seems to be all the rage these days. I frequently hear people talking about cleanses they are doing, and I get asked my opinion on cleansing a lot! I am generally a very healthy eater so had never thought I particularly needed to do one, but I had gotten a growing chorus of requests […]
In honor of Breast Cancer Awareness Month, we have chosen “support” as the TDM Word of the Month for October. This month we hope to support, not only breast cancer patients, survivors and their families, but all of our students at The Dailey Method. To me support means to provide strength when it is needed, […]
Water is, of course, my staple beverage. I do my best to drink a full glass first thing in the morning (leaving it by my bed at night is my best strategy). This is an easy way to help alkalize the body and it also aids digestion and detoxification. I also carry a glass bottle full of water […]

Because The Dailey Method is a […]
September is always a time of transition. Long summer days give way to the change of pace that fall always brings. Kids go back to or start a new school for the first time, and we transition to a new routine or back into an old one. At the very least we all have to […]
I recently got home from a family trip to Lake Tahoe and I can safely say that there is nothing that says summer quite like sunshine, long days and freshly made meals, like the one below, which was perfect since I got a lot of squash in my CSA box. CSA (community supported agriculture) members […]
Since our focus this month is on patience, we thought it might be helpful to give you 7 ideas of how to practice patience. You have one for every day of the week so no excuses! 1. Pick the LONGEST line at the store and wait patiently for your turn. 2. Give someone a hug […]
Whenever I think of the word “patience,” I recall my mother telling me that she believes that perhaps the sole reason we have kids is to be taught patience.
