My child suffers from extreme FOMO.... naps are mostly only about 30 min... mostly (I do get lucky once & a while) Sometimes she doesn’t let me workout while she’s in her rocker..... so those days I incorporate her into my workout. Parenthood lessons I’m learning are have options, be flexible & creative, a schedule is sometimes just a suggestion.

Have baby, do yoga! Thought I would post a fun little warm up I did with my daughter McKenna before I shot some athletic yoga videos. Getting your kids involved in your workouts or setting an example on how exercise is so important.

ARE YOU SITTING TOO MUCH DURING YOUR QUARANTINE?

Our low backs (QL’s) can get super tight. These are a few of my favorite poses to help stretch & release tension. You can do these sitting on the floor or even in your chair.

PICTURE 1 Seated easy pose with a lateral flexion
Making sure the hip on the raised arm side is rooted to the ground. Reaching the raised arm up and over trying to keep as straight as you can. Using the other arm to bend to ground you & allow the flexion.

PICTURE 2
Seated Gentle twist
Placing the left hand on the right knee (crossing the body) the right hand behind the right hip. You can look over your shoulder for a deeper twist. Remembering to twist from the mid back (thoracic spine), not the hips.

PICTURE 3
Easy pose with arms raised
This is a great one to open the chest, stretch the forearms, and great for posture.
Trying to get the biceps at the ears and tucking the pelvis down creating a flat low back. Chest lifted up and can either look straight keeping the chin parallel and neck back to align the spine or look up for a great stretch through the front of the neck & chest.

Taking 5-10 min to breathe & stretch a day will help get the body moving & reduce stress.

Happy Practicing 🙏🏼 @ Calgary, Alberta

Happy Winter Solstice! ❄️

Yesterday was the first day of winter, and I’ll be honest I’m typically not a fan of winter, as I don’t love the cold & would rather play outside in the sunshine of summer. ☀️

What I’ve learned is winter is a time of recovery, rest & stillness. I’ve learned to appreciate how the snow covered ground creates a quieter stillness that can be so healing... how a slower meditative yoga can do so much for the mind & body... now I know this is not something you can do for 3 months straight, but to remember to allow yourself to take the moments of rest, recovery & reflection. This is self care.

The fact that the winter solstice is the shortest day of they year meaning the days will start to get longer as the days go on. ✨

Embrace the Winter & all it has to offer. Stay safe & warm & Happy Practicing 🙏🏼

Thinking back to the spring when we were in beautiful Siletz Bay, Oregon. ☀️

I got to wake up every morning & practice with these views. (Im facing the crashing waves of the ocean) 🌊

Keeping your body moving even while on vacation is so important.
Barrett loves to find a little gym, sometimes I join him or hit my mat. “Have mat, Will travel” 🧘🏼‍♀️

What so you like to do while on vacation??? ❓

I’ve been focusing a lot on including at least one yoga pose that will help stretch out you QL’s in my teaching. 🧘🏻‍♀️🧘🏽‍♂️

For people that suffer from low back pain or for athletes who may not have super active glutes your QL’s kick in & become soooooo tight. 🍑

There are so many different poses to help stretch out your QL’s this is one of my favorites. Now you don’t have to grab your foot with your hand but making sure your hand is up & over your head past your ear & really rooting through your sits bones will get those muscles to slowly release.

Try it in your practice or do it before you go to bed for a more restful sleep. Happy Practicing 🙏🏼

I’m loving this quote from an anonymous 8 year old I had to post. Is yoga easy.... well it can be. There are so many styles & types of practice if you haven’t found one that works for you yet, don’t give up... try a different style, studio or teacher. I’m not a huge fan of restorative yoga (cause honestly I fall asleep during it) but others love it. I have a lot of people tell me they have tried it & didn’t love it, but I always ask what kind of yoga did you try, what was it like? Yoga is not just one thing, keep going & find your practice. 🙏🏼
