Hi! I'm Dr Marcia (she/they). I'm a Doctor of Physical Therapy, author of Movement for Every Body, child of Haitian immigrants, chronic illness warrior, powerlifting strongwoman, and certified yoga teacher.
All bodies, abilities, sizes, strengths, & genders are welcome here to learn all things physical therapy, yoga, mobility, & strength. You'll find 3-5 minute quick tutorials on yoga poses (of all kinds) and exercises as well as 5-25 minute follow along mobility flows and yoga flows.
I love offering different options for different bodies to explore, accessible variations, and tips to scale up or down moves in my videos. I love to move slowly with intention and mindfulness, I hope you love moving with me!

Move with Marcia
I don’t upload workouts and yoga flows longer than 30 minutes on my channel.
our bodies are not one size fits all and we don’t all have the capacity or access for movement more than 15 minutes.
idk who decided the “standard” needs to be 60 minutes.

on today’s episode of done is better than perfect, I didn’t change into a sport bra to workout. The way I’m feeling if I get undressed at all it’s gonna stay that way.
Have you had any small "done is better than perfect" wins this week?

idk who needs to hear this but...
please don’t run your body into ground because someone on the internet told you to. you are the expert of your body and how it feels, not some stranger on the socials!

Strong arches and flexible feet build a sturdy foundation for exercise.
Knees cave in during squats? Arch pain with running? Foot cramps after dance?
Check your feet brochachos.

these mobility fit chat dude bros be yelling at y’all in all caps with DO THIS NOT THAT font colors looking like a damn infomercial and some of y’all just be eating it up.
have you ever considered….
it’s not educational. it doesn’t promote agency or autonomy. it tries to convince you they have a cure and no one else does.
it's weird.

doctor of physical therapy here…
there’s no such thing as a quick pain fix. whether it can be “fixed” or lessened, it takes boring consistent effort over time.

Hi friends! I'll be shifting to uploads every other Saturday.
Honestly, truly, this shouldn't change much! If I was your physical therapist IRL, we wouldn't do new exercises every single week.
There are currently HUNDREDS on videos on here and I envision that you're either 1) searching for something specific to work on or 2) finding tutorials or work outs that you can repeat over time to build progress.
