Mindfulness in Motion
The Sukoshi Method is a fitness and wellness approach that emphasizes making meaningful changes through small, deliberate steps. "Sukoshi" is Japanese for "small steps," reflecting our philosophy of gradual progress towards wellness.
We integrate mindfulness practices to cultivate awareness and focus on mobility and stretching movements to promote physical well-being. Our method encourages individuals to listen to their bodies and embrace incremental improvements, leading to sustainable and transformative change in both body and mind.
MY MISSION
Start Where You Are
The world can be a chaotic place. Often times we are so caught up in work, loved ones, and daily schedules that we forget to make time for ourselves. Sometimes we neglect ourselves for so long that we feel overwhelmed with the idea of putting our own well being in the forefront of our lives.Â
As a NASM certified personal trainer working in NYC for the past 7 years, I have trained men and women in their early 20's to 65+. Though each individual may have had different injuries, abilities, and goals, I have seen a common thread. Those with a strong, persistent mindset are the ones who are met with the most success.Â
I am dedicated to guiding individuals on their journey back to their center, empowering them to achieve meaningful change of mind body and soul through small, intentional steps of movement and mindful practices.
My mission is to foster personal growth and build a supportive community grounded in compassion and connection.
When I first met Naomi, I had just been through 3 foot surgeries and a major back surgery. I was broken and fat! Naomi helped me get my strength and confidence back and accomplish my goals and physical movements that I thought were impossible. More importantly, I lost all the weight that I had gained during my convalescence.Â
One of the best aspects of working with Naomi is that she is a pleasure to be around, super funny, and intelligent. Never a dull moment, and that's good when you need to get out of your head during a workout.
"This is perfect. A small start to achieve bigger things!"
"Love these little nudges to move throughout the day and btw the don't think/don't say you'll do it later is just the kick I needed."
"I really love your method, because it has been a great way to hold myself accountable daily and move every day."
"These tiny increments of movement have been so helpful. I'm saving the videos and combining the stretches and seeing improvements in my mobility."
"The pilates and pelvic floor exercises have been a game changer for me, and it's something I actually look forward to doing daily. This is exactly what I needed and perfect for my busy workdays!"
