Does your bedtime routine include mobility work yet? ⠀
⠀
Yes? ➡ 👏👏👏👏⠀
No? ➡ 🤷♂️Why tf not?⠀
⠀
5 minutes before bed can make a big difference in your sleep pattern and how you feel when you wake up. If I have convinced you to start a routine like this, comment how it’s going? Is it helping? How?⠀
⠀
The type of mobility work should be slightly more passive. This is meant to relax the body, relax the nervous system🙏. We’re not working out here, we’re winding down. Note: This video is sped up. Keep it slow and controlled - focus on your breathing: deep inhale deep exhale. ⠀
⠀
1⃣ clock rotations: a unique spinal rotation move that frees up any back tension⠀
2⃣ quad pretzels: a slanted hip flexor stretch. That leaves the hips and knees feeling the love⠀
3⃣ figure4 glute stretch: a classic that will always be a part of my repertoire ⠀
⠀
Comment your experience with evening mobility⬇ Has it helped?⠀

A lot of questions about the scorpion exercise and if it’s safe. There apparently is a famous fitness influencer who proclaimed that the scorpion exercise is bad for everyone and we need to stop doing it!😱 I disagree completely. There certainly are SOME instances where this exercise or ANY exercise could be bad for someone or some case, but not everyone is the same! You must cater your exercise do’s and don’ts to each individual, INDIVIDUALLY!
⠀
With that being said, I have found the scorpion exercises to be extremely effective AND safe when done properly. Here are 5 different variations on this exercise. These are targeted mobility exercises that I use as warm-ups and body prep followed by a solid strengthening program. ⠀
⠀
Have you done all of these variations before? I’m curious⬇️

Remember that social media is usually a highlight reel ✌🏼
Relationships, selfies, yoga tutorials... people share their ‘best’. I don’t think it’s entirely wrong, it’s just worth baring in mind for those moments you find yourself comparing.

Beautiful tutorial
How to: pose! 🦗
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
There’s 3 main elements that go in to achieving this arm balance:
🔸 External hip opening
🔹 Spinal rotation
🔸 Upper body strength
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
So here are my favourite prep poses to work on these elements to help that pesky little foot into place.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Side note - socks definitely do NOT help with this pose 😂 You need as much grip between foot and arm as you can!

I’m not a natural back-bender, I was never a dancer nor a gymnast - I had to go the long, hard way and build a strong, flexible back through persistency and hard work. That means you can do it too! And as a side note, I did my first kick-over at 39 🥰 Never stop playing💕

Seated Spinal Twist is a restorative yoga pose that promotes good digestion and encourages spinal mobility. Twisting postures help tone the belly, massage internal organs and can help relieve lower back pain. Often performed towards the end of a sequence, this pose is simultaneously relaxing and invigorating.

If you’d like to turn your crow to a flying crow, but have absolutely no idea how one leg would ever even budge an inch, this post is for you! 🐦
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Despite being similar names, there’s quite a lot different between the two as crow is symmetrical (both sides of the both doing the same thing) whereas flying crow is as symmetrical (different things on either side) which also - just FYI - means you’re likely to find it harder on one side than the other!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
To allow that back leg to lift, the body weight has to shift to one side, to essentially make that second elbow useless before you even go anywhere. Flying crow is not just crow and lift a leg out behind you - SO much more goes into it than that!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I hope these slides give you some helpful guidance as to what to do if you’re trying to fly a leg.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Funky flying crow is the perfect middle ground to work your way up to flying crow - allowing yourself to find the movement, shape and feel for it but with a little extra strength and stability provided by that forearm.

/Viparita Parivrtta Surya Yantrasana.
Super Soldier Pose is a relatively newer posture and is a creative yoga pose which incorporates an inversion, a twist, a deep hip-opening, a chest opening through lateral stretch, a forward bend and finally has a balancing element. For this reason, it is an advanced posture. It does not form a part of any traditional yoga pose, or style of yoga and hence, can be described as a ‘New Age’ pose, made popular through social media due to the complicated looking final position. It closely resembles Compass Pose (Surya Yantrasana) and can be termed as Viparita Parivrtta Surya Yantrasana.

Check out this quick yoga sequence for strong glutes. Strong and supportive glutes are important to maintain a safe and pain-free yoga practice, especially when comes to protect the lower back from overstretching.
Repeat the leg lifts for 20 each side. Change side of the holding postures and stay there for at least 8 breaths.
