Dear Yogis:

Aches and pains are not the only dangers of poor posture. When your ribcage is distorted, vital functions of your body, breathing and digestion, are disrupted. Chronic slumping or leaning actually reforms the bones of the ribcage and spine, creating your own scoliosis. the misaligned ribs and vertebrae shift the line of pull on the most important muscle of the body, the respiratory diaphragm.

The diaphragm becomes loaded with trigger points, stiffness, or weakness which directly link to your stress response and the emotional centers in your brain. Improper breathing puts the body in sympathetic overload, anxiety, and out-of-control feelings in the nervous system.

Your diaphragm is also directly connected to the connective tissue of the heart and its main blood vessels, the aorta and vena cava, impacting blood flow over time. Because the diaphragm is a soft tissue partition
penetrated by the esophagus, slumping posture can weaken the esophageal junction and create gapping of the sphincter within the esophagus. This leads to backflow of food, also known as reflux or heartburn.

I don't need to remind you that YOGA hugely focuses on postural alignment to avoid all of this.

Dear Yogis:

Sitting in a cushy sofa, chair, or car seat? You are probably tipping your pelvis forward or backward
and making it difficult for your pelvis to locate itself. The illustration says it all, but here are the tips for good posture when sitting:

1. Your ischial tuberosities or sit bones need to be in contact with the surface you are sitting on.
2 .Your knees need to be a few inches wider than your hips to stabilize your pelvis. Your toes are pointed forward, and your feet are flat on the floor.
3. Engage your core muscles enough that your ribcage is directly over your pelvis. This stabilizing tension is greater than when you are standing because it is more difficult for the muscles to do their job when you are sitting. That's why sitting can be more fatiguing; it takes more energy to keep those muscles awake.
4.Your eyes and head are looking straight ahead.
5.Your shoulders are directly under your ears. If you activate the muscles in the back of your shoulders and upper back, your shoulders will descend and move slightly back.

About those sleepy buttocks! As soon as you sit, those buttock muscles are completely stretched, so they lose their effectiveness at supporting the position of your pelvis. They take a nap because they no longer have to hold you up against gravity. This weakens your base of support, so your core and spinal muscles have to work much harder to keep you upright. This is why we shift in our seat after sitting for long periods, to find another way to stabilize the fatigued trunk muscles.

Next week, the hidden costs of bad posture!

Dear Yogis:

Continuing to explore different breath techniques this week, The Reversed Three-Step Breath builds your time in exhalation and down-regulation or relaxation. In this technique, the inhale is a full abdominal-thoracic breath immediately followed by one exhale that is temporarily interrupted by two controlled pauses and one involuntary pause.

Get comfortable and think, "I have the power to pause." Intentionally exaggerate your next inhalation, a full abdominal thoracic breath. Slowly breath out through you nose, exhaling only a third of your breath. Pause and hold your breath for 3 to 4 heartbeats or 2 to 3 seconds. Slowly release another one-third of your breath volume and hold again for 2 to 3 seconds. Then let the rest of your air exit and rest until your body needs to breathe in again. Repeat his three-part exhale for 3 to 10 minutes or 6 to 20 rounds.

Dear Yogis:

It is interesting that although our survival depends on touching and being touched, its value has only recently come to light in the scientific literature. The science of palpitation (touch) is 150 years old, but the science of self-myofascial release is only 30 years old. The term "myofascial release' originated from the founder of osteopathy, A.T. Still.

Because the therapy balls we use in class are designed to grip and move not only myofascial tissue, but also mobilize fluids (blood and lymph), activate immune cells and neural and vascular tissues, and also bony structures, they work better than hard tools which may activate the body's innate defense system, a
protective mechanism counterproductive to relaxation and recovery.

Self-massage has a number of additional benefits that encourage relaxation, recovery and even performance. I had a friend who was training for a race. After doing ball therapy, she texted me and asked, "what did you do to me?" She had gone for a run after the class and cut several seconds off her best time!

Benefits of ball therapy:
Improvement in movement and coordination
Increased torque
A decrease in muscle fatigue/ soreness/delayed onset muscle soreness
Decreased pain
Reduction in arterial stiffness and improvement in vascular endothelial function
Inducement of psychological relaxation and increased parasympathetic features
Reduction in lymph edema
Helpful for individuals who are touch averse (1)
Helps major depressive disorder(2)2020,

Dear Yogis:

Before discussing "dead volume," a few cautions about mouth breathing. As convenient as mouth breathing is, it is not as efficient as the nasal passages. Mouth breathing invites a shallow breath, requires more energy than nasal breathing, and creates sympathetic response or fight or flight. Because mouth breathers rely on neck and chest muscles, overuse in these muscles occurs resulting in stiffness and fatigue. In addition, mouth breathing dries out the gums and tongue allowing bacteria harmful to the teeth to develop.

So, what is "dead volume"? This refers to the left-over breath suspended in the upper chambers of the lungs. We know that we process 6000 liters of breath in and out of the lungs every day, but not all of the gases are released in one breath cycle. The result is that each successive inhale is mixed with the remains of the previous exhalation. This adds up to a reservoir of deoxygenated "dead air" polluting the top of the lungs.

When we are sleeping or at rest, we do not need to use the full lung volume, so the upper portions of the lungs become a reserve space for emergencies or activities that require more oxygen. But, these reserve spaces in the upper portion of the lungs must be activated to keep them strong so those areas can be mobilized to force more blood to move through all the tissues of the lungs picking up oxygen while dropping off CO2.

To refresh the upper portions of the lungs, practice inversions which saturate lung tissues with oxygen-rich blood. Also practice "The Dead Volume Refresher" breathing. First, observe your relaxed, passive breath and the diaphragm's natural contraction as it descends. Then observe your natural exhale as the diaphragm relaxes and floats up. When the exhale ends, squeeze out a gentle last puff of exhale and return to your passive breathing and observation. Try to practice this for 3-5 minutes. If you find your abdominals are seizing on your exhale, you are pushing your second puff of exhale too hard. Make this a breathing meditation!

The human body has an incredible ability to regenerate. From your skin renewing itself every 28 days to the brain repairing itself over the course of years, each organ has its own timeline for regeneration. The heart, for example, regenerates about every 4.5 to 5 years, while muscle tissue takes 4-8 weeks to heal.

Understanding your body’s regenerative abilities can help you take better care of it. Whether you’re recovering from an injury or just trying to maintain your health, regular exercise and a nutrient-rich diet support these natural regeneration processes. Even your liver regenerates in just one year, showing just how resilient the body is when given the right tools.

Make sure you’re nourishing your organs with vitamins, hydration, and rest to help them regenerate effectively. Your body is capable of amazing things—help it achieve its full potential. 💪🌱
