WOW, this research blew my mind. And changed the way I practice & teach yoga, and do bodywork! Empowering information to support your unique body. #beyourself

What it Means to be Flexible and Why It’s Not Always a Good Thing - - by Tom Myers of Anatomy Trains .
New science tells us that our body’s connective tissue, or fascia, determines our baseline flexibility. But practicing yoga can change our muscles’ functional length and our joints’ range of motion. Here's how to use yoga to find a safe level of flexibility and stabilize your joints.

Temple Dancer Body Type:
A temple dancer has looser fascia that builds more slowly. The fascial net tends to be less capable of keeping joints stable. This body has fewer fibroblasts. “People who are very bendy are going to have to rely on their muscles for stability,” Myers says. It’s better for people with this body type to do minimal passive stretching. For example you want to avoid lingering in postures such as Upavista Konasana (Wide-Angle Seated Forward Bend)..

Instead, practicing strength-building poses, such as Plank, will increase stability in order to counteract too much flexibility. “The muscles will take over the job that the ligaments simply can’t do because they are too elastic, too loose,” Myers says.

Viking Body Type:
A viking has denser fascia that builds more quickly. The connective tissue is stiffer, which makes the body more stable, but less permissive of movement. This body type has more fibroblasts. Vikings tend to be more rigid in postures such as Wide-Angle Seated Forward Bend, perhaps struggling just to sit upright with their legs barely straddled. They have to work toward becoming more flexible, and yoga postures focused on stretching can help.

“The type of fascia you have is not right or wrong,” Myers says. “You just can’t expect the same behavior out of these two body types.” Also, both ends of the spectrum can be dangerous: Extreme fascial looseness, for example, is seen in Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, and extreme fascial stiffness can show up as calcification of the spine, such as in ankylosing spondylitis.

I've been doing Transformational Bodywork for over 40 years. Yoga of Touch is a perfect name for it as well. Consider yourself VIRTUALLY HUGGED

Had a phenomenal massage and knee treatment with Marci Javril tonight! She is so gifted with magical hands that heat right up with the most powerful healing energy. And she is more knowledgeable than my Dr. who said I have further ligament damage and might need surgery. My knee had been cracking and popping, bone rubbing on bone for about two weeks, driving me crazy, making me feel like I was having a real setback in my healing journey. Marci was ever so skillfully and patiently able to move the fluid that was trapped in the patella so it could move smoothly again! She was so giving, soothing and nurturing that I floated out on a cloud of wellbeing! Can’t thank her or recommend her brilliant work enough💕✨🌈🦋🌟

Elephants are such amazing sentient sensitive community creatures, we should be honoring them and respecting their natural habitat, not dressing them up and riding on them! Freedom belongs to these kingly beings!!

Do you Bounce? Are you staying youthful by defying gravity? Indeed, bouncing on a ball or trampoline (rebounder) is DEFINITELY an act of Anti-Gravity!

YOUTUBE.com/marcijavril

Your Body of Water is affected by gravity. Also, if you are not moving your muscles, you are not moving your lymphatic fluid. But, if you bounce, for that moment you are in the air, you are out of gravity, and the fluids in your body are mobilized. This means that the Lift and Fall of your body is actually shaking up the fluids in you body.

"Shake the muddy bucket" I tell my clients, shake it up and down, because that stirs up sludge and stagnant areas in your body, and your lymphatic fluid can then flush it out. Clean yourself just by bouncing. Wave your arms and laugh, too, and activate your heart and lungs!

I like a SPORTS or YOGA BALL better than a rebounder. It is versatile, easy to put in your room and use as a lift under your legs, easy to stretch over and use for a workout. Cheaper! and since it doesn't have to be tucked away, it's more likely get used more often.

It's International Women's Equality & Diversity Day. I looked for an image that conveys the message loud and clear!

Women are capable, courageous, compassionate, and called to action! Our interests are in every topic, our jobs are in every field, our thoughts are in every library, our hearts are in every dream, and our CHILDREN will carry our future.

Unlock the doors for all possibilities, and listen to the WOMEN of the WORLD. We have a worthy message.

Do you "Sleep Like A Baby"? Are you restless, or is it hard to get to sleep? Do you wake up and then can't get back to sleep? Are your sleeping hours different every week?

I used to be a committed night-owl, and had very odd or varied hours of of sleeping, or not get enough sleep, with trying to catch up on other days. NO MORE! My circadian rhythm is settled into an effective mode, and it's taken me a lifetime.

1. Get rid of all ambient light, use blackout drapes. Cover any blinking LEDs, power switches, displays.
2. Wear a comfortable sleep mask. I love the MINDFOLD, complete darkness with your eyes open, doesn't mess your makeup.
3. Be active enough during the day to get tired. Bounce on sports ball for maximum benefits and minimal effort.
4. Take a hot epsom salts bath or shower before bed, or drink warm water, tea.
5.. Don't eat a lot before bedtime, bad for digestion, can lead to reflux.
6. Find a sleep position that works for you, use as many pillows as needed.
7. Only use your bedroom for sleeping & being intimate, not for watching TV.
8. Sleep at generally the SAME TIME EVERY NIGHT, 7-8 hrs for adults, 9-10 for youth.
9. Stretch your spine every day in 6 directions so your sleep alignment is balanced. See my video demo on youtube @marcijavril
10. Take 30 min. Power Naps, learn how to do progressive relaxation. Use as a mini-meditation, sitting up on a slant, NOT in your bed. See my video demo on youtube @marcijavril

All these tips will help your body feel more like laying still, and drop your Central Nervous System into PARA-sympathetic, which is the opposite of fight/flight. GOOD SLEEP IS ESSENTIAL for the brain to cleanse itself. Literally, the Glymphatic system filters out debris during sleep.

I hope this helps you sort out your nighttime habits, and find an efficient way of getting effective REST. May you "Sleep Like A Baby" from now on!

Are you getting the nutrients you need? The immune support you require? The preventive health lifestyle you desire? Taking daily supplements along with healthy eating and exercise, goes a long way in avoiding a crisis, or disease, from getting started.

I order most of my supplements, as well as beauty products, from www.iHERB.com . GIFT CODE = JAV639 - gives you $10 off first purchase!

MY DAILY INTAKE:
-Vitamin D3 super important for brain & immunity! I take 5,000mg. -Adult Probiotic eases digestion. -ChlorOxygen helps my altitude sickness, and increases red blood cells. -Multi-Vitamin for mature women, with minerals. -Turmeric Curcumin Black Pepper formula to reduce arthritis and inflammation. -Red Yeast Rice to reduce cholesterol. -HA Joint Formula: Hyaluronic Acid, Quercetin, BioCell Collagen, Magnesium, 5-Loxin, Condroitin Sulfate. -Lutein Xeaxanthan for eyesight. -Zinc for immune support.

I have been taking something along these lines for many many years. When I run out, sometimes I titer off them and take a break. Sometimes I change up the brands or dosage. I add specific ones for a current problem, or leave some out.

Make a note, many health procedures (dental, facial, surgery, etc) will have you QUIT ALL SUPPLEMENTS 2 weeks before hand. That is because many of these INCREASE circulation, and will cause bleeding to become more pronounced, if there is a problem.

FOLLOW your Primary Care Health Provider's advice ALWAYS, and be sure to cater towards your own constitution, absorption, imbalances, and current health status. These are my personal choices, each person must make their own.

What's that saying? "Use it or lose it!" I agree, maintaining flexibility is an ongoing project. Create the habit to stay in each stretch or asana pose at least 2-3 minutes.... YESSSSsss... that is a looonger time than you may usually spend! It works. Here's why:

THIXOTROPY is the ability of a substance to shift from semi-solid to semi-gel. THAT is what happens to your FASCIA when you maintain a steady resistance or pressure on the tissue for longer than 90 seconds. You will feel the taffy-like thixotropic effect of your muscles "letting go".

Grab your friend by one hand, and both of you pull away from each other - slowly - gently. If you stay there long enough, you will both feel that taffy-stretch of your shoulder/forearm/wrist -> LENGTHENING, spontaneously and effortlessly.

USE YOUR BODY WISELY, stay longer, go slower, be steady, consistent, and you WILL improve, or at least, maintain your range of motion.

- In 2019, I taught a series of classes for the general public "Best Head Massage You'll Ever Get or Give". It was a HIT! Who doesn't like having their scalp, face, and neck get some TLC?

See this popular video on my channel - https://youtu.be/WFtcuhD5J04

Clear up headaches, flush out mucus, improve breathing, relax your brain, release jaw tension. Boost your immune system, sleep better. CONTACT ME for InPerson or Virtual lessons - 310.306.9838 - [email protected]

Of course, everyone has their own idea about how much pressure or touching they enjoy. We always pace ourselves for that. I teach partners how to work on each other, by FIRST teaching them how to work on THEMSELVES.

Self-care is the cheapest, easiest, most convenient way to contribute to your long term health and longevity. Simple, effective massage methods can clear up imbalances, and you can avoid going to the doctor, or medicine cabinet, so often! Isn't that worth learning?

As a lymphatic massage specialist, I focus on gentle, feathering and gliding touch. You don't need any experience to find benefits. Just allow your hands to be soft, friendly, with the intention to be harmonious. Your body is mostly water, so let your hands become supple, like floppy mittens, and you will match the watery content of your body.
