One year from now.  After a month of yoga teacher training, heavy rain, bad kindney infection and so much emotional and energetic release.  Tiger hill, Darjeeling, India. 

@thebalancedpt on Wrist Exercises! 👋 (Every yogi needs these 🥰) ・・・ ⁉️WRIST PAIN DURING CHATURANGA⁉️ . The most common movement impairment I see is dumping into the ulnar side (outside) of the wrist during Low Plank. 🤮 . This can place more pressure on the TFCC which is primarily made up of ligamentous tissue not made to withstand high load. ❌ . So a helpful cue here is to keep the elbows in and the weight distributed throughout the entire hand. ✅ . Pressing into the palm knuckles and gripping the mat with the fingertips. 👊🏼 . But if your wrists are already hurting...here are some gentle self mobilizations, stretches, and exercises to relieve the pressure and soreness. 💕 . Try it out below! 🤗 .

@thebalancedpt on Spinal Twist Help 🚨 ・・・ ‼️DIFFICULTY WITH TWISTS? TRY THESE T-SPINE MOBILITY DRILLS‼️ . I see it all the time in class. People trying to compensate with their hips and low back to increase rotation.❌ . Here’s the problem...the THORACIC SPINE is where we should be getting the most movement. ✅ . And instead of improving the rotation here...we end up just moving in the path of least resistance through the hips and low back. ‼️ . So in order to isolate the T-SPINE...we need to essentially “lock out” the hips/back first by placing them into FULL flexion (aka child’s pose). 👍🏼 . Then once we re-train the movement here we can re-integrate rotation from a tabletop position...moving into full thread the needle. 🦋 . Try it out and tag a friend to join you! 👫 .
