This video shows three sun salutation variations. 1) If you are less flexible in the hips and hamstrings, bring the floor up to you by using a chair for support. I use a block between my thighs to draw the thighbones back with an inner rotation. This creates more space in your lower back. 2) Use blocks to bring the floor up to you or when you fold forward, put your hands on your shins. The yoga push up is done on your knees. Use this variation if your upper body doesn't allow for a slow descent down to the floor. 3) If your hamstrings are flexible do away with the blocks and fold forward keeping your thighbones back and your hips over your ankles. This variation does the yoga push up with straight legs. Only do this variation if you can keep your body straight and slowly descend down without the belly touching down first. Continue practicing with the variation that works best for your body. Props: chair, 2 blocks

This is a 5 minute mindful centering practice. It fosters non attachment and allows you to be in the present moment. Lie down on your back and simply listen to ease stress and reset your nervous system.

In this video I'll go over Sun Salutation B with some modifications. There is always the first option of coming onto your knees for the yoga push up. I do crecent lunges with the back heel lifted instead of Warrior 1 with the heel down. Do whichever version you like best.

This is the start of the 12 week session of Move, Restore + Release. We go over range of motion: flexion, extension, abduction and adduction, protraction and retraction. We experience these movements on the floor, through standing poses and in restorative release poses.

This is the start of the 12 week session of Move, Restore + Release. We go over range of motion: flexion, extension, abduction and adduction, protraction and retraction. We experience these movements on the floor, through standing poses and in restorative release poses. Props: mat, blocks, bolster or several blankets/pillows, chair or wall for support.

This is one of my favorite poses after a long day of sitting, standing or anytime my back needs a release. Props: bolster, block, additional blankets for more support if needed.

Mini Me and I show you the shoulder rotation needed to grab your foot (or strap) behind your head in Lord of the Dance.

This video goes over the key actions of the shoulders. Protraction happens when we push activating the serratus anterior muscles. Retraction happens when activate the rhomboids and the shoulders move back. Elevation, shoulders up, depression, when they go down. When we roll our shoulders forward it is an upward rotation, when we roll the shoulder blades down it is a downward rotation. Anterior tilt is when the shoulders tilt forward like when we clasp our hands behind our backs. Posterior tilt happens when the shoulderblades tuck under like in a backbend.
