WALL WORK: 😁 I love doing posture stuff at the WALL & ive been working on a lot of movements with the arms behind the body. This is a great way to wake up the upper back muscles & counter balance all the time we spend with arms in front of the body. 💪I am always amazed at how difficult it is to create force with the arms behind the body 👈😲 . 💥press the back of the skull into the wall 💥elbow straighten and PRESS the pinky back into the wall💥 keep that pressure and step the body forward away from the wall 💥 add a tiny snow angel movement 👼 . . . . . . .

So I feel that standards of education are important for yoga teachers (to protect students & show that a baseline of education was completed) ...but my bone to pick with @yogaalliance is that i am banned from using the word Therapy or Therapeutic from any of my info (including the statement that I wrote a book called "Yoga Therapy At The Wall" - I cant talk about that)...even though I hold a license in my state to work in a medical setting and I have completed and hold a current certification with IAYT. I understand that Yoga Alliance does not oversee the therapeutic application of yoga, but I am not even allowed to accurately describe my credentials in my YA biography which I think is a loss for the students that are looking for a teacher with a specific knowledge base. I feel like there could be a better way of handling this...especially since I (and i am sure many others) want to stay a YA certified teacher & a Yoga Therapist (even though i dont have to!) #yogaalliance #yogatherapy #therapeuticyoga #yogatherapist #yogatherapyatthewall #lauragyoga #credentials #registeredyogateacher #yogateacher (at Body in Balance Physical Therapy) https://www.instagram.com/p/B1Wr9r5nkqC/?igshid=13y3f2cl1j0go

WALL WORK WEDNESDAY: Step up to 2 blocks...or 3 blocks 😁 Sometimes the WALL is just there for a little bit of support so you can explore wobbly transitions...like SLOW step ups to a stack of blocks...the slower 🐌 you go the harder it is to maintain stability. It is also really nice to reach the arms UP the wall and lean into the lifted lunge (sorry for the bad framing 😒). . . . . . . . .

WALL work Wednesday: 😁 block behing the thoracic spine to hold the ribcage steady while the arms move. I also find it interesting to feel the difference between the movement of my L Vs. R scapula. (L scap has been cranky since i havent been doing my weight training for a few weeks 😟) . The block helps to make SPACE behind the body so the arms can open back. The wall provides a surface to PRESS back into to engage the back muscles. PLAY with some arm movements in the 3 Planes and see how it feels 👍 #wallyoga #yogawall #yogaonthewall #yogaatthewall #yogatherapyatthewall #wall #props #yogaprops #accessibleyoga #usemorewall #thewallisyourfriend #yogabook #ebook #yogapracticemanual @yoga_at_the_wall #wallstretch #yogawall #lauragoellneryoga #lauragyoga #yoga #yogavideo #yogateacher #yogatherapist #yogatherapy #yogisofig #igyogis #yogini #yogi #yogatherapy #yogagirl #igyoga #yogisofinstagram #hummingbirdyoganj #therapeuticyoga (at Hummingbird Yoga NJ) https://www.instagram.com/p/BxM5A-GF6tg/?igshid=eek9787snm0l

BODY ROLLINg On THE WALL 😊 I love wall work and this is my FAVORITE area to roll out: especially after work (way too much computer time) and before doing breathwork! It makes such a difference 👈👈 💥💥 FIRST: using the block to roll out the chest muscles + active movement of the arm. 💥💥flip around working from the upper traps down the upper back ( between the scapula & spine) + active movement of the neck and arm. 👉👉 my students didnt want this part of class to end 😜 ... #wallyoga #yogawall #yogaonthewall #yogaatthewall #yogatherapyatthewall #wall #props #yogaprops #accessibleyoga #usemorewall #thewallisyourfriend #yogabook #ebook #yogapracticemanual @yoga_at_the_wall #wallstretch #yogawall #lauragoellneryoga #lauragyoga #yoga #yogavideo #yogateacher #yogatherapist #yogatherapy #yogisofig #igyogis #yogini #yogi #yogatherapy #yogagirl #igyoga #yogisofinstagram #hummingbirdyoganj #therapeuticyoga (at Galloway, New Jersey) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bv0JwuVFyNQ/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=ad3d3bphy9r9

I have created a secondary IG @yoga_at_the_wall as a way to organize all things related to yoga at the WALL (as we get closer to the release of my book😊) and as a second location to keep this information. Having my account hacked last week really scared me and gave me a good reality check...and a reminder that with technology you always need a back up. @yoga_at_the_wall will have some stuff from this page (only wall related) but it will also feature other yogis doing creative things with a wall...so if you appreciate the value of a good WALL go ahead and follow 👉👉@yoga_at_the_wall 👈👈 and be sure to tag me with all wall related movement practices to be featured #wallyoga #yogawall #yogaonthewall #yogaatthewall #yogatherapyatthewall #wall #props #yogaprops #accessibleyoga #usemorewall #thewallisyourfriend #yogabook #ebook #yogapracticemanual #lauragoellneryoga #lauragyoga #yoga #yogavideo #yogateacher #yogatherapist #yogatherapy #yogisofig #igyogis #yogini #yogi #yogatherapy #yogagirl #igyoga #yogisofinstagram #hummingbirdyoganj #therapeuticyoga (at New Jersey) https://www.instagram.com/p/BvVhc9WFkDS/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=3syjh8ammvl6
