It has always been surprising to me that when we work on a concept physically, we also enhance that concept in our lives. I recall working in a yoga class focused on twisting and releasing, and really inhabiting (cognitively) the concept of release in the week following.

During our Friday yoga break today, we work with spinal stability and hip mobility. Spinal stability invites in a sense of grounding and rootedness at the very base of our being.

We can use the platform of physical stability to help enhance a sense of stability in a larger sense in our lives. Also, spinal stability is a concept that we can learn succinctly and transfer over to all of our other functional movements. Once we "get it" it is a concept we can use over and over again to our benefit in all of our physical practices.

Necessary props: strap (dog leash/ karate belt), blocks or stable chair.
Optional props: yoga mat, blanket or towel

Trina Mann is a physical therapist who specializes working with people who have Parkinson's in Northern California! She is also a 200hour R-yoga teacher! She teaches a weekly yoga class in her community, and we are fortunate enough to be able to join the class live through zoom or utilize these recordings!

This wonderful yoga class is more of a gentle, restorative yoga class with a focus on kindness to our body, breath and body awareness. I highly recommend you try it!
