Yoga Flow with Med Pros, Overland Park, KS Videos

Passive stretching has a time and a place, but if we stretch and stretch and stretch creating MORE mobility but we can’t control that mobility or access it actively, we have created a new problem or potential for injury. Here are a few of the current ways I have been addressing this in my yoga classes lately! Enjoy!

🌟

WITH ANY PAIN, here is a good place to start 🙂

⚡️SAVE THIS FOR LATER⚡️ ⚡️Quick 30 second meditation for when you need to lower anxiety, blood pressure, and heart rate. ⚡️in light and lunges

⚡️Follow up from yesterday ⚡️Now that we have the pain calmed down (yesterday’s post) strengthening for LONG TERM RESULTS is required! ⚡️Add these in and let me know what questions you have!

💫Neck pain or TIGHTNESS? Often the neck structures FEEL tight because they are TIRED and trying to stabilize. So stop stretching and try gentle strength breaks during your day 💫Also try to remember to change your posture as much as you can! See yesterday’s video for more information. The best posture is your next posture. 💫Good luck and comment with your questions!

🪐Feeling tight in your upper back? QUICK flow to help you get it moving 🪐The way the bones [vertebrae] and [facet] joints of the upper back are oriented, it WANTS rotation! Not getting much rotation of the upper back during the day? Here’s an easy way to add it in! 🪐Upper back and neck content coming at ya all week in prep for yoga teacher training this weekend covering anatomy of these regions! 🪐Want anything specifically addressed for upper back or neck?

🪐Feeling right in the upper back? LETS MOVE IT 🪐The orientation of the facet joints in the vertebrae of the upper back WANT your upper back to rotate but this might not be happening very much in your daily life. 🪐The good news is, with this quick flow we’ll be able to get it in!

💡One shoulder sitting a little high? 💡Three possible culprits are: right upper traps, tight levator scapulae, OR weak scapular stabilizers. 💡In my experience it’s often the latter, and then the upper trap works over drive to create some stability. 💡This is by no means an exhaustive list but should give you a strong jumping off point!

Save for bedtime!

🌙Low back pain? Hip pain? Hip mobility goals ? 🌙This flow has ACTIVE internal hip rotation which is something clinicians ALWAYS check in patients experiencing hip and low back pain, as well as external rotation, flexion, and extension. 🌙Let’s get strong💪🏼

💥FOUNDATIONAL💥 ✨Whether you have been practicing yoga or ANY type of exercise/movement for years or this is week one, having awareness of where the low back and pelvis are in space is FOUNDATIONAL and crucial to building stability and avoiding injury! ✨does this mean you need to live with a neutral pelvis? No!!! But be able to use it when needed! ✨Is this meant to take the curvature out of the spine? No!!! The spine has natural curves and we are here to honor those. ✨This is merely a way to begin to bring awareness to these regions and have tools of recruiting the core musculature which is VERY important!
