24.01.2022 Let’s continue the chat about the spine and now looking at forward folds. . Just like in backbends, there is the potential to load into the spine in a way that increases the pressure on the discs and may lead to irritation or injury. . In the first image b) you there is increased loading in the neck and lower back and in c) increased loafing in the middle back/ thoracic spine.... . In a forward folds there is flexion at the hip, an anterior tilt of the pelvis and depending on the forward fold, there may be spinal flexion. . The soft tissue involved in forward folds will have an impact on the depth of the forward fold as well as the stability and strength and alignment needed to support the posture. . In a simplified view forward folds are looking to lengthen the posterior chain with the support of anterior chain of the body and deep muscles of the body to actively stabilise the lengthening. . Alignment and use of props or the shape of the posture may change due to the length and strength of the following tissues: - hamstrings - calf muscles - quadriceps - the core - hip flexors - glutes - erector spinae - rhomboids - trapezius . Swipe across to see the second image and the anterior tilt of the pelvis and the involvement of the quadriceps abc hamstrings. . Like everything, there are so many variables when working with our bodies individually and with this comes the nuances of alignment and props. . To dive in a little deeper join Ivy and I as we chat forward folds. The Anatomy, alignment and mythology. This Monday 11am on IG Live over @liquidroombayside . #forwardfolds #theintelligentpractice #axisyoga

16.01.2022 Fascial Flossing is one of the many ways we can target fascial tissue. This repetitive rebounding movement through various planes of movement targets different fascial lines in the body. . You’re not looking to move to into your deepest range but progressively strengthen and lengthen the tissues as you rebound in and out of the stretch. . The fascial tissue is the complex web of connective that surrounds the whole body and techniques like this will begin to hydrate the tissue...s, increase the fluidity and sliding/gliding quality of movement within the tissues creating greater mobility and freedom of movement. . Here is a few techniques we explored in tonight livestream class. . #fascialflossing #fascia #theintelligentpractice See more

15.01.2022 It’s hard to even fathom that this was at our doorstep 12 months ago in The Intelligent Practice Teacher Training in Sri Lanka. . Looking back at these photos and many more takes me right back to Hiriketiya with these yogis, the warm sweaty weather, the outdoor shala, the amazing surf and the monkeys! . What a journey we had! This 22 day immersion was an experience like no other. Yes there were the intense moments, the breaking points but also such impactful experience that ...I will never forget. . Thank you yogis for being a part of it, trusting in the process & sharing yourselves with the group. . For now I’m teleporting myself back to Sri Lanka with my yoga fam through photos and memories . #srilanka #ytt #theintelligentpractice #200hourytt See more

11.01.2022 Lateral FASCIAL Flossing . If you want to break up your time sitting, hydrate your fascial tissue or do some side plank or wild thing prep give these a go. . These lateral lift ups will be a little TLC for your side body & spine. They’ll also target a part of the body that has a tendency to be a little tighter & weaker. ... . Let me know how you go. . #fascialflossing #fascialflow #axisyoga See more

06.01.2022 Yesterday in our Monday ‘Language of the Body’ Live IG chat with Ivy from @liquidroombayside & myself we explored backbends and how to elevate your Backbending practice with props. . We looked at how to use props to support the wrists, props to create more stability in shoulders & forearms & also what happens when you lift the heels in wheel. . For this with tighter hip flexors and quads you might find this variation give you extra freedom in your lower back. It’s similar to... lifting your heels but how you can play with more height. . This will require more upper body strength to lift up so be patient with it. . + You could start with the blocks flat + Heels on blocks & balls of the feet at the wall + To progress this stack 2 blocks or lift the blocks on the middle setting . This helps move the backbend to the thoracic spine & shoulders & shifts the pressure out of the lumbar spine . To hear more about the alignment & a brief discussion about the anatomy of the lumbar spine & sacrum head to head IGTV to see the full chat. . Let us know what you’d like us to cover next Monday. . #backbends #theintelligentpractice #yogaprops See more

06.01.2022 For those that know me, you know that I love nerding our on anatomy and not just because I find it fascinating but because it has helped me learn more about myself, previous injuries and I’ve been able to apply this to me teaching and see the shift in my students. From pain to no pain, from weakness to strength, from doubt to confidence and from uncertainty to empowered. . The understanding of anatomy goes way beyond muscles and bones for me and it’s why I get excited about ...it!! . These Backbending pictures highlight the spot where is increased, pressure, load, force and compression. A hinge spot. . To understand the spine a little more swipe across to see the different sections of the spine. The spinal segments have varying amounts of mobility and when we don’t stabilise the more mobilise areas and align the body we can hinge on the places where the spine goes from less mobility to more mobility. . For some yogis this will feel fine or even good but over time the compression can lead to pain, irritation, inflammation or for some a bulging disk. . For those interested in the alignment side of things and preventing dumping into these hinge points head to the recent IGTV where we dive into all things backbends, alignment, anatomy and props. . Next Monday we’re chatting forward folds! . @yoga_international . #axisyoga #theintelligentpractice #anatomynerd See more

05.01.2022 With the news of everything opening up I’m excited to get back to doing some of the things I love! - teaching in person - going to a studio to practice or the gym - catching up with friends and family ... - going to explore nature outside the city - surfing (not long now) . But...I also know that I’m feeling the call to take it slow, to adapt to the new changes, a new schedule, a new routine, new interactions, socialising and the normal at a slower pace. . I would usually love to do it all at one but my intuition says go slow, listen to your body and find your new happy place at a sustainable pace. . So if you’re feeling this too, take it slow and listen to what feels right for your new normal. . #newnormal #postlockdown #2020 See more
