November 03, 2020 Ski Fitness and Life Fitness with Maxwell Martin, Personal Trainer & Professional Skier
Max was born in the heart of the Tetons in Jackson, Wyoming. His home gave deep understanding for mountain sports and living an active lifestyle. Max spent the majority of his life as a competitive ski racer where he had the opportunity to compete against some of the world’s top talents. His love for the sport eventually pulled him away from Jackson to Salt Lake City, Utah to attend the rest of his high school years at the Rowmark Ski Academy. At the time his goal was to qualify for the national team, however, after a serious injury he set his sights on earning a higher education. He found himself in Plymouth State University where he earn a B.S. in Exercise & Sport Physiology and was able to race in the NCAA Division I circuit. After graduating with honors in 2016 Max retired from ski racing and moved back to Jackson.
When Max moved back home he was quick to double dip in his professions. He become certified as a personal trainer through the American College of Sports Medicine, and more recently became a professional big mountain skier. Max creates a unique training environment by blending his experience as an athlete and his education. His philosophy for training is to provide an educational experience that not only helps you achieve your goals but also develops a deeper understanding of your body.

October 20, 2020 Yoga and Mental Health with Michelle Haag, RYT 200
Tonight I had the enormous pleasure of talking with Michelle Haag, RYT-200 (that means registered yoga teacher, 200 hours, if like me you didn't know). She started us off with a short breathe-work meditation that had me feeling more relaxed and calm than I had all day. Okay probably all week. If you know me, I tend to run on the high-energy-until-I-crash train... Once I awoke from my blissful tranquility, we had an inspiring conversation on the mental health benefits of yoga, that inspired my non-yogi self to try out more yoga.
Michelle's yoga journey began about 20 years ago, during her time in the financial industry in NYC, but her true turning point came in 2017 when she started experiencing vertigo. Michelle turned to daily yoga as a way to release excess energy and quiet the voices in her mind. Michelle views movement and rest as equally important, and is trained in both vinyasa flow and restorative yoga. She prides herself on providing a complete experience, including meditation, breath work (pranayama), a heat-building flow and a yummy stretchy cool-down.

October 20, 2020 What is Physical Therapy? Why are Glutes Important? Dr. Emily Smith, DPT
Today I had a fabulous time chatting with Dr. Emily Smith, DPT. She's got some amazing and surprising stories of what can happen in physical therapy.

Dr. Emily Smith grew up in Jackson and graduated from Jackson Hole High School as valedictorian in 2011. She has moved back home to practice after completing her rigorous continued education, consisting of two bachelor's degrees in Exercise Science and Spanish from Hope College in Holland, Michigan, a Doctorate of Physical Therapy from the University of Montana, and a year of Orthopedic Residency at the University of Utah. The residency provided an additional year of mentorship, lectures, research, teaching, shadowing, and community outreach to help treat orthopedic patients with a deeper breadth of knowledge, as well as officially earned her the title of "Orthopedic Clinical Specialist Doctor of Physical Therapy". With this specialty, she focuses on musculoskeletal conditions including recovery from sports and orthopedic injury, pre- and post-operative rehabilitation, injury prevention, and return to sport. Outside of work, Emily has always loved being active, participating in swimming, track, and rodeo at Jackson Hole High School. She went on to compete in the heptathlon in track & field in college, and she continues to lead an active, outdoor lifestyle. Emily enjoys bringing the evidence-based therapies she has learned in larger healthcare systems back to her hometown. Working at ALL Body Therapy provides the unique opportunity to implement best care practices in the pool and on land during hour-long sessions that allow the patients to always be the focus of the care provided.
