We continue the tradition in this space. We push one another to be stronger and to explore new lifts and movements. We love and support one another. It’s my dream and one of the highlights of 2020-2021. I cherish our time together!

We miss you Amber! 😘❤️ Thank you for creating a space filled with love and support for all!! I plan to keep growing a community of like minded peeps!

Feeling tight in your upper back?

Try rounding over a foam roller to send the breath to the back body. Breath is healing!

Take deep breaths in your nose thinking of expanding the back ribs. Exhale out your mouth and let the ribs fall. Enjoy!

Check out @taylorsmithcurry’s expansion!

The diaphragm!! I mean, we do need it to breathe!

If you are having trouble blowing up a balloon without bulging in your abdominal wall, here are a few things to try:
1.) Take some deep breaths in your nose and out your mouth like you are blowing air out of a straw or imagine you are blowing up a balloon. Create resistance with your mind. If you are a client of mine, you know all about this! Make those exhales long and powerful!

2.) Exhale through an actual straw, think about blowing up a sticky, new pool float. Again, create resistance with your mind.

3.) Buy different size balloons. Some balloons are easy and others are more difficult.

4.) Stretch the balloons or ask your partner to blow up the balloon a few times first. Balloons are hardest that first time but once they get stretched out a few times, it makes it easier.
@sheilakozak makes it look easy!

Happy 2021! It’s been a busy morning here!

Form matters!

Want more glutes out of your Bulgarian split squats?

🎉Use something lower to prop your back foot on so that you can get the back knee to the ground

🎈Hinge forward like you want to reach your belly over your front thigh

🍾Sink down and back getting that back knee to the ground

🥂Keep your weight over the front leg

Have fun feeling the muscles grow! 💪

“What happens when you...?” ❤️ this question!

Look at what happens when you explore a little. Things change. Before you know it, you are working the targeted muscles more effectively! 👏🎉

You can hear in my voice how excited I am for the body! @calinej ❤️

Time to explore some shoulder and thoracic mobility drills for more change. 👏💪

Birddog! What’s the point? Why am I even doing this exercise?

Well, this is one I do every day! It’s one of the best core exercises WHEN DONE CORRECTLY! Performing it with correct form is no easy task.

The brain will tell you to lift your arm and leg high. It’s not about that at all.

Rather than seeing how high you can lift your arm and leg, pretend you have a hot cup of coffee on your back, and you don’t want to shake it or spill it.

It’s about finding your deeper abs here. We are not looking for the back nor the glutes to work. Think slow, thoughtful, and connect the movement with the breath.

Try:

- Long neck (imagine a mirror is in-between your hands look in that mirror)

- Keep the weight shifted forward

- Inhale to prepare, exhale for the work

- Start by sliding an arm and leg out during the exhale. Maybe you lift it, perhaps you don’t? Are you able to counterbalance? Are you stable? Are you pushing out in your abdominal wall? Are you shifting your weight to one side?

- If yes, try just barely lifting (like ½ inch) an arm very slowly and allowing the body to counterbalance for the change by stabilizing

- Then try the other arm

- Maybe try barely lifting a leg

To make it harder, exhale longer to help contract your abs, and then try to lift an arm or leg just a little without shaking or spilling your coffee.

Pro Tip:
Try it up against a wall like Sheila and see if you can keep from letting your glute touch the wall.

We talk a lot about how the diaphragm descends on

We talk a lot about how the diaphragm descends on the inhale pushing the organs south. This video is fascinating to watch! Practice deep breathing with it. Remember to relax the abs and pelvic floor on the inhale!

Check out that low, side rib expansion! Look at where the diaphragm attaches to the spine. Everything is connected and working together.

Sometimes I forget how incredible the human body is. The simple act of breath requires a synchronized chain of movement and connections...See how the diaphragm inserts on the vertebrae? It’s mighty beautiful ♥️ #everythingisconnected #breathe ⬅️xo

Gotta love some strong glutes!! Glutes are power

Gotta love some strong glutes!!

Glutes are powerful! You need glute muscles so your core team can work for you! You need glutes to support your disatasis (that's right), to provide pelvic stability, and to help your abs do their job properly.

Bridges can be challenging and incredibly uncomfortable when carrying a baby!

I love how banded hip extensions or ”hip thrusts” can get the glutes firing so much easier! 🍑

Pro tips:
✔️Head lifted and chin tucked to help keep the ribs from flaring (hands behind the head can help support the neck)
✔️Inhale hips down
✔️Exhale hip up, ribs down, pushing out on the band, glutes are squeezing
✔️ Warm-up with mobility work for hip flexors, breathing, and core stability work

🏋️‍♂️When bodyweight is easy, grab a weight and load it.

Jordan has her own sweet little baby ball weight pictured. 🤰❤️ You can also add a kettlebell, two dumbbells or a barbell like Lisa and Liliana! 💪

Back body expansion! Are you feeling tight in you

Back body expansion!

Are you feeling tight in your upper back? Feel low back pain or tightness? Have shallow chest breathing patterns? This position is for you and can help us open up those areas that are more restrictive!

This is especially great for postpartum after most of us develop that high hinge point in the back. Our upper backs and shoulders can get tight limiting the breath from traveling down.

So... instead of a flat back child’s pose try rounding and deep breathing into that open rounded low back!

Try for about 5 deep breaths counting how long you can make your inhales and exhales.

Check out how Taylor gets excellent expansion in the video! It takes time and patience!

Pro tip: Make sure you are not gripping in your pelvic floor!
