“Learning enables us to create choices, freeing us from compulsive habits” ~ Moshe Feldenkrais
...
This quote has been in my mind lately, because sometimes we learn and get used to doing a movement, a pose or an exercise a certain way. And if a different way of doing that same movement or exercise is suggested, we may reject it or think that there is no value in it. And it is at that point that our habits have become compulsive.

Do you notice the difference between this post and the one previously posted?
...
YES! The blanket! Sometimes little adjustments and the switching of a few props in restorative yoga can make a huge difference. This practice is all about the details. ....
Restorative Reclining Bound Angle Pose with @jenny_wren93 (2019 YTT Graduate)
…
Sanskrit: Supta Baddha Konasana
…
It enhances circulation to the vital organs of elimination and reproduction in the lower belly. It also creates a gentle chest opening, because it broadens through the collar bones and the front of the shoulders.
This pose can also be done with no props, simply rest on your back with your feet together and knees wide. It is great to help you activate the relaxation response of your nervous system and it is when you are consciously relaxed that your body is able to heal best.

Restorative Reclining Bound Angle Pose with @jenny_wren93 (2019 YTT Graduate)
…
Sanskrit: Supta Baddha Konasana
…
This variation with a strap around the waist and feet will increase the stretch for the inner thighs and the opening of the hips. It enhances circulation to the vital organs of elimination and reproduction in the lower belly. It also creates a gentle chest opening, because it broadens through the collar bones and the front of the shoulders.

Restorative Legs Up the Wall with @vivienne_van_der_meij (2019 YTT Graduate) …
Sanskrit: Viparita Karani …
Traditionally this pose is meant to direct life force energy or prana upwards within the body, using gravity and the weight of the body.
Nowadays it is also a great pose after a busy day because it releases pressure and any swelling in your ankles or feet. If you spend most of your days seated, standing or if you take lots of airplane rides, this pose is great to help you activate the relaxation response of your nervous system and it is when you are consciously relaxed that your body is able to heal best. .

Restorative Bridge Pose with Legs extended with @vivienne_van_der_meij (2019 YTT Graduate)
…
Sanskrit: Setu Bandha Sarvangasana
…
This variation with legs extended takes you deeper into your backbend, releases your knee joints, and may give you that yummy feeling of length throughout your body. However, if the sensations in your lower back are very strong to the point where you cannot fully soften and let go, then instead, keep the soles of your feet on the floor with your knees bent.
A great pose after a busy day and its chest expanding qualities can help you access deeper levels of being, the gateways to a quiet mind.
As a backbend, the head position—neck flexed and head below the heart—activates the parasympathetic (rest-and-digest) side of the nervous system, and it is in the relaxation response that you heal, restore and replenish your prana.

Restorative Childs Pose with @jenny_wren93 (2019 YTT Graduate)
…
Sanskrit: Salamba Balanasana
A forward-bending posture that could be: a reminder of what feels to be at home, an opportunity to let go or a good pose that you can soften into when your mind needs relief or comfort.
It reminds us to breath into the back-body, activates the relaxation response of the nervous system and mindfully supports the vital energy centers of the belly, heart, and head.

Explorations of Vibrational Energy Through Touch on the Body
…
~ Gather your two palms together.
~ Rub them together for a few seconds.
~ Pause and notice the energy between them.
~ Slowly bring your hands away from each other and notice what you feel in between.
~ Slowly separate your hands further and place one hand on the earth and notice.
…
Have you ever thought of the movement that underlies all movement in ourselves? Somatic movement educator Bonnie Bainbridge Cohen discovered that what underlies all movement is vibration. During Cohen’s years of developing her work, she came to the conclusion that vibration is the first pattern of movement that we develop.
Even before we develop into embryos, when we are only individual single cells, vibration is already there. If you think about it, cells are structures made up of billions of molecules, and each molecule is composed of atoms. Atoms are constantly moving and vibrating, thus creating everything that we can see and touch from planets to the tiniest of the cells.
However, if it underlies movement then how come some people don’t feel it? perhaps the need to build the awareness needed to then be able to feel the underlying vibration that exists in everything.
Have you tried any other ways to connect to the underlying vibratory movement within yourself?

Our feet make up for 25% of the body’s bones and one of the best ways to stay healthy is by moving. We can move more efficiently and teach others do the same by knowing about the anatomy of the foot and how it applies to yoga in order to keep healthy knees, hips and the entire spine.
