#pelvicstability

Who else loves the #foamroller ? Join me for #midweekmovement on Wednesday at 12pm 🌿 Head to my bio for bookings 🌸 Don’t have a foam roller? Not a problem 🍃 You can also do all these moves on a rolled up blanket or the floor. We’ll be focusing on #pelvicstability this week - and I actually find these moves really help me find a steady state of mind too. Midweek movement combines #yoga #pilates #selfmassage and #functionalmovement 🌱 This is an inclusive, #bodypositive practice with lots of options - it’s taught via zoom so you can ask me questions along the way 💖 Hope you can join us! . . . . #gardenofyoga #bodypositiveyoga #pilatesforeverybody #pilatesforallbodies #yogaforeverybody #yogaforall (at Garden of Yoga) https://www.instagram.com/p/CDd1qCZjFxw/?igshid=1x5qj9lh49oe

Who else sometimes gets a cranky lower back after a long drive or flight? We can help!! I bought my @_makarlu_ on our trip to New Zealand and they were awesome! It’s such a versatile tool for #selfmassage #pelvicstability and to add some weight to your stretches. @ranelovesyoga and I made a little video while in New Plymouth sharing some of my favorite moves. We’ll also be hosting a Makarlu Masterclass here at Garden of Yoga with its creator Carla Mullins on Thursday Feb 13 😀 I’ve got links to the video and class in my bio 💖 . . . . #gardenofyoga #makarlu #howdoyoumakarlu #selfcare #selfmassage #pilates #yoga #yogalove #yogalife #yogateacherlife #newplymouth #newzealand (at Garden of Yoga) https://www.instagram.com/p/B7SuIsoge_t/?igshid=1r09uk6tnpxk0

Do you struggle to keep your practice rhythm going when you travel? Or feel your body complaining after a long drive or flight? Or maybe you don’t have much space to practice at home and need a compact sequence? I’ve got a great Travel Theraband video to share - filmed on location on our trip in Japan!! I used my #theraband so much on this trip, for #stretching #pelvicstability and as an efficient way to fit my practice into our busy days (and small apartments 😉). We filmed some of my favorite moves for this video and they are all very adaptable - the upper body moves are great in a #chairyoga practice, or you might just do the lower body moves after a long drive. You can watch the whole video on our YouTube channel - I’ve put the link in my bio. Hope you enjoy it!! Thanks for filming and editing @ranelovesyoga 💖 . . . . #gardenofyoga #travelyoga #yoga #pilates #pilatestravel #yogalove #yogalife #yogaontheroad #japan #kyoto #traveling #travelinginjapan #exploringjapan #yogasequence #yogaforeverybody #yogaforall (at Garden of Yoga) https://www.instagram.com/p/B3YjPXhAuxS/?igshid=c5l6qjkx0f2p

Just like the hip hinge movememt we did in standing- here is a HIP hinge in table. 💥first engage the CORE (the entire ring of muscles that connect the ribcage to the pelvis & holds our upper & lower half together- 👂👂sounds pretty important doesnt it?? ) to keep the pelvis still 💥 work through the available range of hip flexion & extension without letting the pelvis move (it will feel limited) 💥 then allow the pelvis and spine to follow the leg through flexion & extension (think cat/cow) and watch how the pelvis moves and the activation in the front/back of the body changes. 💥 this is one way to build awareness/control over the pelvic tilt & the shape of the low back- 👍during an asana/transition ask yourself: "do I need to maintain a stable pelvis, do I want to allow the pelvis to move" (or maybe something between the two) I ❤ table because it is such an important foundation pose = here we work on keeping natural curves in the spine when perpendicular to gravity - but we have lots of support from the arms & legs so it is an accessible space to play around with movement. #yoga #yogavideo #lauragyoga #yogafocus #yogafocusmethod #slowmovement #stability #pelvicstability #hipmobility #therapeuticyoga #yogatherapy 🏡 filmed in my #tinyhouse #stellathetinyhouse by a #tinyhouseyogi 🏡 (at New Jersey)

W.A.L.L. Resistance 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 Using a wall as a proprioceptive tool is a wonderful way to check your body’s alignment and symmetry, but ALSO it can provide great resistance if you really use your body’s strength! Try this exercise in which you PUSH AS hard as you can into the wall with an extended exhale as you practice various levels of your squat and half kneel. This can assist in a strong external oblique contraction, which can help stabilize your pelvis into neutral in your deep squat if you tend to be hip flexor dominant here, which can lead to lumbar compression, especially once you add WEIGHT on your shoulders! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 #corectology #squatcorrectly #correctiveexercise #glutes #pelvicstability #neutralspine #lumbarspine #lumbarcompression #sijoint #wallsquats #ajfishertrainer #balancetraining #proprioception
