🟡Hi Movement peeps,
Recently, I’ve been keeping my movement practice gentle and focused on nervous system regulation, especially through breath work. Most of my time has been spent on soft, restorative routines that leave me feeling refreshed and balanced. I find that dedicating even 10 to 20 minutes a day to these practices helps me stay uplifted.
🤗Here’s a quick look at what I’ve been doing:
- **Myofascial Release:** Gentle movements to keep tissues nourished and fluid. I’m focusing on the lower leg to maintain mobility and comfort.
- **Weight-Bearing Exercises:** Simple four-point kneeling positions, sometimes with a dome or rolled-up towel under my ankle or foot for support. This helps build dynamic stability in my arms and shoulders and connects body and mind to the DFL (Deep Front Line—the body’s myofascial core).
- **Sidelying Exercises for TFL Lubrication:** Targeting the Tensor Fasciae Latae (TFL) on the outer hip and thigh helps release tension in the IT band and improves hip mobility. This is especially useful for runners, cyclists, or anyone with tightness in the lateral hip.
Tone Regulation: Fluid flow. Including Movement sequences that promote tissue hydration and glide. Breath work. Spinal movement, Focus to introducing gentle exercises neck massage. Easy and gentle twist that feel good for my hip and spine. Inviting calm.
🟢I make sure to keep everything slow and mindful, focusing on gentle breath work and meditation as my main priority. When I have the energy, I add a short mat routine, but I always listen to what my body needs.
🟣I’d love to hear what movement routines you’re enjoying this summer, or if you’ve discovered any new practices that help you feel your best! Sharing our experiences can inspire and support each other, and I always appreciate hearing what everyone is working on.
🟢Remember, small consistent steps make a big difference—keep moving and enjoying summer! Looking forward to connecting with you all and hearing about your movement journeys.
