Be like a tree🌳

Let go of your old leaves (your resistance and hardness) to prepare for new growth, just like a tree.

How often do we say we want change, we want peace, or better life?
When we hold onto same thinking, patterns, reactions or attachments, nothing will change!

Let go of what is draining your peace.
Let go of the habits make you feel stuck.
Let go of any harmful cravings.
Let go of negative self-talk.

When we release the old, we create space for
the new, and the healing and growth begins.
Our clarity of mind returns and our true self awakens.

Be like Tree:
🌳 Stay grounded
🌲Bend before you break
🌴Enjoy your uniqueness
🌱Let go of old leaves and grow

You can learn more on how to let go in my online yoga classes or yoga on Russell island.

Are you Over 50? You need to Strengthen & Stretch your hips more!

Weak and tight hips is a common issue for over 50, which can affect your walking, cause knee and lower back issues, and increase risk of falls!

This Pilates exercise is perfect way to strengthen the important hip muscles such as the glute medius (side hip muscle) and hip flexors (front hip), plus work your other core muscles!

In this video my Pilates members are demonstrating wide leg raises with resistance band.

Tips:
1. Keep head/shoulders on ground if you have neck/shoulder issues.
2. Pilates beginners can perform this exercise without the resistance band.
3. Beginners can start with half movements.
4. Avoid arching lower back on ground.
5. Move slowly & smoothly & engage core.
6. Don’t forget to do your slow diaphragm Breathing!
7. Use a pillow under head if neck-shoulders are tight.

It’s time to slow down

🍁 Autumn Yoga 🍁

🍁Time to let go of our old layers, like trees let go of their leaves in Autumn.
🍁Time to slow down and be gentle.
🍁Time to nourish your mind & body.

My Top 3 yoga poses for Autumn are:

1. Puppy with twist: Pillow under head. Top arm either bent, straight or placed behind back.
2. Supported Fish pose: Pillow under head when your neck/shoulders/upper back is tight. Choose either bent legs, straight or butterfly.
3. Legs-up-the-wall: Optional bolster under hips. Legs can be close or wide.

Hold each pose for 2-3 minutes.

Our mind & body can feel unbalanced during Autumn season. Good time to let go of what is no longer nourishing you and boost your immune system.

Learn more about Autumn yoga poses in my live-stream yoga classes or Yoga on Russell Island.

You can also included the alternate nostril breathing to help you feel more balanced and calm before you practice these yoga postures.

Why Strengthen your glutes?

It’s important to strengthen your glutes (buttock muscles) when we get older to reduce lower back, hip and knee issues.

Strong glutes help support your spine, prevent injuries, stabilise your hips, improve your posture and walking.
Plus can shape-up the buttocks 😀

Key exercises to strengthen the buttocks are:
Bridges
Squats
Lunges
Clams
Deadlifts

Let’s talk about bridges

🌟BEGINNERS: Keep both feet on ground and lift hips and hold (traditional bridge).
Engage your core and breathe.

🌟One-leg bridge tips:
Keep hips level & stable.
Press heel on ground evenly.
Engage your core & move slowly.

🌟Try this resistance band exercise for 15-20 reps on each leg.

(Don’t do one-leg bridges if there’s lower back, hip, knee issues)

Learn more about bridges and the fun variations in my yoga & Pilates classes on Russel Island or live-stream online classes.

Yoga bolster stretches for your lower back and hips.

💜This is my favourite short yoga sequence for hips and lower back using a bolster.

Using a bolster (or folded blankets), under the hips provides support and allows for deeper stretches.

Setup: Place bolster or folder blankets under your lower back/top of hips.
🌟Video 1: Start with wide knee rolls slowly for around 1 minute or longer.

🌟Video 2: Hold single knee to chest for 1-2 minutes. You can bend straight leg if you are tight or have sensitive lower back.

🌟Video 3: Elevate the legs and hold 2-3minutes. You can place your legs against the wall for more restorative.
Perfect way to improve circulation!

Always allow the breath to guide you. Slow, gentle breaths for deeper release.
You can do anytime of the day.

🌟Squats with a ball🌟

Squats are number one exercise for aging!

What are the benefits of performing squats with ball between thighs?

1. Improves technique
2. Fires up your core
3. Joint-friendly for knees & hips
4. Inner thighs work more

Squats are great for strengthening legs, hips, core, & muscles around the knees.
Plus squats indirectly strengthen our bones (reduce Osteo).

🌟Important tips:
Beginner can use a wall for back support.
Use good breathing technique (slow, even breaths).
Engage your core.
Bend at hips first (imagine you are sitting back on a chair).
Press feet evenly & avoid lifting heels off floor.

🌟Variations:
Can hold hand weights for more resistance.
Hold longer (20s-2+min).
Can use a yoga block between thighs.
