"Always try to extend and expand the body. Extension and expansion bring space. Space brings freedom. Freedom is precision and precision is Divine. From freedom of the body comes freedom of the mind, then ultimate freedom."

One of my students asked me about fascia. This article does a nice job of introducing you to yours! Sensing your movement with a whole-body perspective, you are one step closer to fully engaging with your amazing and intelligent body.

Here’s everything you need to know about the connective tissue known as fascia—and how to use this knowledge to deepen your yoga practice.

A good laugh AND inspiration to get up and MOVE!

Did I mention how much I love my students?! Just got this from a student who said they were up in the middle of the night and inspired to write:

ODE TO THE MIGHTY PSOAS

SO AS TO EXERCISE THE PSOAS, BE SURE
FIND WHERE IT IS, LIE FLAT, BE SECURE
VISUALIZE, SINCE YOU WANT TO DO IT RIGHT
YOU WILL STRETCH GENTLY, JUST DON’T FIGHT

TAKE A BREATH, USE YOUR CORE, THEN MOBILIZE
IN TIME IT’S SMOOTHE, YOU WILL SOON REALIZE
READY, SPREAD OUT OPPOSITE LEG AND ARM
BREATHE AGAIN, IT’LL BEGIN TO FEEL WARM

YOU FIND YOU WANT TO YAWN AND SMILE
YOUR BODY’S HAPPY ONLY TAKES A WHILE
DO THE OTHER SIDE, ENJOY, MOVE WITH EASE
THEN GO TO SLEEP OR DO ANYTHING YOU PLEASE.

*Do too much it’ll hurt, you betcha
Stop right now or Linda will getcha!
