24.01.2022 Part 2 - Sciatica, SIJ and/or leg pain. Disclaimer - if you have any of these conditions, talk to a GP and a Exercise Physiologist or Physio before starting any type of exercise. Following on Part 1, these pics are generally more simple, supported and passive poses to help calm and alleviate the above. They're good if you want to get off the chair and do something with a little more intensity, although they're still mild overall.... Again, practice the posture within YOUR range of motion. You dont need to lift the lower leg in the lying pose like I'm doing here, but could have the foot on the ground. In the seated poses, you could have top leg in front or to the side of the bottom one. I'd also highly encourage using a blanket under the buttocks for comfort and support. Again, if you want any further info, please reach out. #exercisephysiology #clinicalexercisephysiology #fittprinciple #exercise #yoga #chairyoga #chairasana #yogaanatomy #ahimsa #nonviolence #pain #sciatica #sacroilliacjointdysfunction #legs #sitbones #chronicpain #painmanagement #injurymanagement #injuryprevention #health #healing #fitness #movement #movementismedicine #moveyourbody #keepmoving

23.01.2022 When you have to fight your puppy for the therapy ball when practicing myofascial release If you're able to find some time uninterrupted, and you don't need lots of time, you can gently roll, compress or use other techniques to help show your body how to release new or old patterns of tension. You can do this work as much as you like, but it can be better to do it regularly and practice using a less is more approach with a focus on the breath, particularly the exhalation... to calm the nervous system. #myofascialrelease #mfr #fascia #fasciarelease #fasciallines #fasciatheory #selfmassage #therapyballs #massageballs #compression #rolling #pinandstretch #breath #focusonthebreath exhalation #exhalelong #tensionrelease #painrelease #lettinggo #lettinggooftension #selfcare

22.01.2022 I've been so busy lately trying to complete my practical massage hours that I really didn't take time to reflect on completing the Myofascial Yoga Online Training done with @myyogaessence. Such a thorough training that has provided me with knowledge and skills in a modality which complements both massage and yoga beautifully. It can practiced daily, simply and for short periods if needed! Looking forward to offering this to clients and students and creating some #myofascialrelease #mfr #myoyin #yoga #yinyoga #yinyogateacher #findingyouredge #stillness #time #fascia #fasciallines #fasciatheory #channels #compression #pinandstretch #rolling #massage #massagetherapy #massagetreatment #massagestudy #selfcare #dailyselfcare #dailypractice #releasing #lettinggo #lettinggooftension #hydration #hydratingtissues

20.01.2022 Working from home has meant I've had to take extra care of my neck and shoulders due to not having the right ergonomics. Chair yoga has shown me that even a few simple movements regularly when sitting can keep muscle tension and pain at bay. #chairyoga #chairasana #essentialsitting movements #sitting mountain #stayingactive #muscletensionrelief #workingfromhome #isolation #lockdown

18.01.2022 "Here's the uncomfortable truth about perfectionism. It's usually just insecurity in disguise" ~ Gary Vaynerchuk After several tech issues and trying to find time between my full time job, I finally got around to filming another Hatha yoga video. I was really surprised when I found myself being overly critical of my teaching, cringing at some cues and thematic things said. After just trying to be happy that I got it done, I then discovered the class had been split into 3 sep...arate videos, well and truly throwing my perfectionism out the window Immediately, I could see the big lessons - don't take yourself too seriously and doing your best is always good enough. The 3 video links will uploaded tomorrow and hopefully available in my bio #yoga #hathayoga #anusarayoga #onlineyoga #onlineclass #yogaathome #yogapractice #practicingathome #movingathome #spring #yogaforspring #newdirection #expansiveness #growth #rebirth #woodelement #liverchannel #gallbladderchannel #twisting #untwisting #rationalmind #energising #perfectionism #lettinggoofperfectionism #perfectlyimperfect #yourbestisgoodenough

17.01.2022 Feel energised and blessed out after practicing Yoga Flow with me tomorrow morning at 9am. Innerfit, 621 Parramatta, Leichhardt #yoga #yogaclass #yogaflow #vinyasa #fitness #fitnessmotivation #bliss #happiness #namaste #sunday #morning

17.01.2022 Dancer and Half Moon poses are some of my favourites asanas as they blend balance, strength, flexibility and meditation. They help practice finding grace and steadiness through change. From my Anusara Hatha training, I've found the key to this is drawing the physical and subtle energies into the core and from Doug Keller, placing weight on the outer heel of the standing leg. These are just some of things I'll be teaching in the online videos I plan to release soon.... #dancerpose #halfmoonpose #yoga #yogapractice #anusara #hatha #alignmentandintegration #onlineclass

16.01.2022 Since Covid, the only time I've had to practice is at night a few times a week. I wanted to stay active in my practice. However, I've learned from my Exercise Physiology studies that recovery is a principle just as important as moving regularly. Our muscles and organ systems need time to reset and repair. So getting out the bolster and practicing restorative has helped me stop and find deep renewal. While Reclined Butterfly is a classic restorative pose and a fav of mine, acc...ording to Donna Farhi, poses on the back are still stimulating for the nervous system. Lying on the side is more calming as shown here. And its great for Autumn as it targets season's yin channel the Lung by opening and lengthening the area to maintain or improve respiratory health #yoga #yogapractice #yogainspiration #yogainpajamas #yogaathome #hathayoga #restorativeyoga #tcminspiredyoga #clinicalexercisephysiology #exercisephysiology #exercisephysiologyprinciples #recovery #fittprinciple #covid #yogaincovid #parasympatheticnervoussystem #restanddigest #selfcare #stillness #stopping #anxiety #anxietyreduction #restorativeposesonyourside #lyingonyourside

15.01.2022 I saw this quote in a vacant shop window, ironically on the way to my current workplace. Its simple honesty and directness, was a wake up call and really got me thinking What are you committing to today? #quote #dailyquote #instaquote #inspiration #dailyinspiration #sign #signfromtheuniverse #guidance #wakeupcall #realisation #honesty #selfhonesty #selfreflection #truth #truism #directness #simplicity #dream #dreambig #followyourdream

13.01.2022 This little cutie is going be my pup in a couple of weeks. He's got lots of energy and I'm sure will want to help out when I'm practicing yoga #puppy #puppyenergy #newpuppyparent #dog #cavoodle #pug #puglove #yoga #yogaathome #yogadogs #petsyoga #petsyogatime #petsyogaathome #petsyogapractice #yogahelper

12.01.2022 My self care this week was getting out of Sydney after 10 months of not being able to see family and being quite isolated. I'm so grateful to finally spend time with family and feel the sun and sand at the beach. #roadtrip #family #familytime #familyfun #beach #beachvibes #beachday #sunandsand #swimming #vitaminsea #selfcare #mentalhealth #physicalhealth #spirituality #soulfood #relaxing #rest

12.01.2022 Happy Mother's Day to all present and future Mums of human and fur babies/kids, or to those who have lost children or their mother, or can't be with them today, like me. Love this picture of me and Mum at her 70th birthday #mother #mothersday #motherday2021 #mum #motherhood #love #unconditionallove #care #mothercare #nuture #nuturing

12.01.2022 As I get older, I'm moving away from a yoga practice where I'm trying to progress to advanced or peak poses, and instead, just enjoy my body moving and feel gratitude that it's capable of even simpler movements. Like in this pic where I'm practicing Crescent Moon pose or Anjaneyasana. Then again, when I really break this pose down, it's not as simple as it looks. The toes of the back foot are anchored into the mat, there's a firming of the belly, then curling, hugging in to... centre, which creates a stable base for the organic energy to flow out through the core lines But I really love the energetics of the pose - when the front knee bends and the arms go up - it can be an opening of heart, a gesture of gratitude or perhaps surrender to something higher than oneself. #yoga #yogapractice #hathayoga #anusarayoga #crescentmoonpose #lowlungepose #anjaneyasana #yogafoundationandalignment #strongfoundation #stability #universalignmentprinciples #core #corelines #organicenergy #yogaasyouage #ahimsa #nonviolence #meetingyourselfasyouare #honouring #movement #moving #enjoyingyourbodymove #gratitude #gratitudeformoving #openheart #openingheart #surrender

11.01.2022 It's a common myth that a good massage is hard and painful, with the therapist needing to apply loads of pressure to get to the deep tissues. But from my massage training, I've learned that most of the time its the opposite and the purpose of massage is to get tight, painful muscles to relax so they can heal. In particular, in a Remedial treatment, 70% of strokes are those that warm the tissues. It's so important to educate people about this so they don't end up in more pain ...and empowered in these services amd know whst to expect. So next time you're getting a massage and it's hard and uncomfortable, ask the therapist why?! #massage #massagetherapy #relaxation #swedish #remedial #treatment #muscles #tissues #pain #muscletensionrelief #musculoskeletal #relax #release #healing #painrelief #stressrelief #detox #detoxingissues #bloodflow #bloodvolume #education #massageeducation #healtheducation #wellbeing #empowerment #awareness

09.01.2022 Such a spoiled pup! So many toys #silky #pup #puppy #puppylife #puppiesofinstagram #spoiled #toomanytoys #playtime #fun #puppyplay #joy

09.01.2022 I try to make time for most of these practices daily, so it's hard to believe that 7 years ago self care wasn't even in my vocabulary! I was a frantic, overcommitted yes person, who became so exhausted and filled with anxiety, I couldn't get out of bed. But even seeming negative experiences can be a gift as it got me to therapy, where I was introduced to self care. Which led going back to yoga where I started to connect to my breath and body, and find letting go in both.... What self care practices do you practice regularly? #selfcare #cirlceofselfcare #dailypractices #sydney #takingcareofyourself #slowingdown #itsoknottobebusy #therapy #psychology #health #mentalhealth #physicalhealth #emotionalhealth #yoga #meditation #breathe #breathbodymindconnection #union #sleep #healthlyeating #socialising #socialisingatadistance #findtimeforyou #findtimeforwhatyoulove

07.01.2022 Part 1 - Sciatica, SIJ or leg pain Evidence-based research shows exercise has good outcomes for injuries and conditions. But after seeing a family member have worse pain after all the physio exercises, it reminded me its not just about the exercises you do, but also the amount and type. In Exercise Physiology this is called FITT principle: Frequency, Intensity, Type and Time ... This keeps you moving, but in a controlled way. And a good starting point if you're in Sciatic, SIJ or leg pain, are some simple chair yoga poses as shown in these pics. The 1st and 2nd are variations of Dandasana or The Stick. Try to keep the knee bent and drag your heel against the floor to activate and protect the hamstrings. Next are chair versions of Pidgeon or Tree where the focus is grounding the foot on the floor and placing weight on the outer heel. This release and tones the Piriformis muscle. But remember, always take the pose to where YOU feel comfortable and especially not beyond your range of motion. If you're in pain, stop. For more information, please DM me. #exercisephysiology #clinicalexercisephysiology #fittprinciple #exercise #yoga #chairyoga #chairasana #yogaanatony #ahimsa #nonviolence #pain #sciatica #sacroilliacjpint #legs #sitbones #chronicpain #painmanagement #injurymanagement #injuryprevention #health #healing #fitness #keepmoving

07.01.2022 "Why compare yourself to others? No one in the world can do a better job of being you, than you" ~ Unknown I loved watching my niece, Arielle cartwheel and handstand all the way along a beach walk recently. Her love for being upside down mirrors my own as a child and later as a yogi. But I will probably not handstand or headstand ever again after scans showed a couple years ago, a slight retrolithesis (discs slip forward) at the base of my neck. Still, at times it's hard no...t to envy and compare myself to other teachers and yogis who do great handstands all over Insta, teach workshops and classes around on them. Then I remember yoga isn't a just a set of postures: its also about Ahimsa and Satya, connecting to my breath and honouring my body, heart and mind in the present, and accepting what I find, even my limitations. #yoga #hathayoga #accessibleyoga #yogaisforeveryone #yogi #teacher #classes #handstand #inversions #upsidedown #niece #family #beachday #beachwalk #ahimsa #non-violence #satya #truth #truthfulness #breath #breathconnection #heart #body #mind #union #physicalpractice #spiritualpractice #spirtualpath #acceptance
