Final pose of my seated series… no pose name just arch your spine! Finding organic cat and cow movements of the spine, arching the back and then coving through the abdomen, this movement is best paired with breath. Use mental imagery to depict using your breath to breathe spaces in between your vertebrae, try for a long hold then collapse through the back opening the chest and abdominal cavity. 😮💨 *Breath work the best work*

This seated series is alignment focused with spine twisting and hip openers ⚡️ Starting with staff pose, legs extended & spine erect, this is the starting pose. Harder to hold then most think, it takes core engagement to keep the body in line, shoulders over hips. Once you find your center, begin the twist. This straight leg twist is great if you are experiencing any abdominal issues like bloating or constipation, will literally wring you right out. As well, lumbar spine issues is very common and this seated series daily can be very helpful in alleviating spinal pain 🕊

Butterfly position 🦋 Another pillar of my seated series. Beneficial for the hip adductors, this pose can be strongly enhanced by utilizing the arm and back muscles to press firmly, hands into thighs. I enjoy holding this posture for long periods and once you reach your peak, a lovely adjustment from a partner assist can in pressing your legs past your limit 🎆

This is mostly an organic movement but if I was to call it anything it would be a staggered leg, seated twist with extension ✨ Keeping the sit bones rooted and hips square, this twist derives from the hip, simulating the motion of pressing and pulling. Stretching through the intercostal spaces of the ribs, the reach creates an enigmatic opening for the side body through the armpit and lateral side of the arm. Last part of the twist, always the gaze, feeling the reach in the neck. *A wonderful way to say Good Morning to your body*

Seated twists with staggered legs ✨ The best way I’ve found to get into my glute medius and TFL muscles. Adding the twist is a bonus for the spine and detoxifying for the organs. Depending on spine flexibility, your gaze will either go sideways or you can look back at it 😜

In Chinese Medicine, we prevent disease when we live in harmony with nature and the universe 🍃 Well, today is a full moon, so how does one live in harmony with that? 🤔 On days of a full moon, the best practice is to refrain from overt physical exertion, demonstrated in the tradition of Ashtanga Yoga, moon days are rest days. Moon days are opportunities to promote the yin energy of the world with meditation, cooling energies and moments of restoration 🕊

Guasha is one the best modalities to release muscle tension, especially for difficult or tender areas such as the neck The Sternocleidomastoid muscle or SCM as well as the Scalene muscles are particularly difficult to release with efforts of stretching and/or massage, that is when I go to my tool belt for the guasha spoon. Especially in my self massage practice, I try to guasha at least 2-3x weekly 🕊 Fun Fact: If you don’t have a guasha spoon handy, you can supplement with a Snapple cap ✨

What is a sanctuary? 🕊 A space that is dedicated to your tranquility and calm, amidst any chaos that may come up. A space where you can find your breath, when some moments leave you breathless. Intrinsically imperative to a path of self actualization, because we live in a physical world, you need a space that is sacred to you 🕉

Oh The Places You'll Go! 🌈 I spent time adventuring in Cusco, Peru and this has to be one of my favorite hikes I've ever been on.... Montaña Arcoíris or Rainbow Mountain 🗻 At a whopping 17k feet elevation this hike is no easy feat.. but the views are worth it. The colors of the mountain are created by sediments/minerals emulating the colors of turquoise, pink, lavender and gold. True to form, once I reach the top, I'm in Natarajasana Dancers Pose What is your ideal type of travel?
