Figuring out handstands with my scoliosis 💪
😊
When I started Yoga for Scoliosis I really NEEDED it. It wasn't just a fun thing to do yoga for me. I wanted to learn and understand my body. I wanted to solve my pain😓
🧘‍♀️
So Yoga was and is my medicine. But as my pain dissolved and my fear of having pain again made way for trusting my body again. I can now find the fun in yoga again slowly. My body feels strong and movement doesn't feel forced or scary anymore. I am starting to enjoy it again.
🤸‍♀️
How do you perceive movement at this point in your life? Is it scary in any way? Or are you able to enjoy it?

Who do you do it for? Why do you want to care of your health and back?
💓
Seems like simple questions, and a simple answer. However, in the chaos of life and circumstances we get seduced and challenged. It is tricky to let outside factors be our motivation. Because those factors might change or dissappear. What happens then?
💓
If you are looking for sustainable results and a healthy lifestyle that suits YOU!, it is important to get clear on your WHY.
💓
How do you want to feel? What feels good to you?
💓
No comparison to others or how ot SHOULD be. This is your life and start figuring out what works for you, my love.
💓
You deserve the best life and feeling good, energised and loved 💖💖💖

It was really fun to teach a big online class last Sunday for @thepaigefraserfoundation 💙🧡
🧘‍♀️
Let's see if we can create a lovely group class online. Informative about scoliose, practical movement, mind challenges and support from each other!

You don't have to be alone in your scoliosis journey🌟

No, scoliosis is not only physical.💥 Yes, posture is important, but just think about what aspects in your life influence your posture. 🤔
I used to feel insecure about myself. Insecure about my capabilities and I tend to be harsh on myself. Meaning I would hold tension of worry in my shoulders and try to force movement and poses.
💫
Through yoga I learned to soften my body by letting go of mental worries. I learned to find a love of the story my body and scoliosis were telling me. And slowly learned to listen to unravel my physical and mental patterns. Because yes, there is definitely a connection.
🌟
Just find awareness today in how you are feeling and how your posture is being affected. Feel free to share any of your findings with me 👇

Puppy pose is one of the staples of Yoga for Scoliosis.🙏
🙆‍♀️
It learns to stabilize the shoulders and hips while lengthen the back in a neutral position. These actions are favorable in every day life. Because a lot of the time we tend to use the back instead of our joints probably in daily tasks. For instance with picking something off the floor of getting something from a higher shelf.
🚶‍♀️
A lot of poses in yoga (for scoliosis) help is in gaining awareness in how we move our body. And then we can take this learning with us in our daily life and see how we move our body through daily tasks. Just think about how you are standing when you are waiting for instance.
🧍‍♀️
Interested in learning more? It is always possible to schedule a private session. 🙏

I am a COMPLEX human being 🌟
⭐
I love the simple life with doing yoga and reading in a quiet space. AND I love to innovate and enjoy seeing my foundation @ilovemyback.nl grow💛
⭐
When I first started yoga and incorporated more of the philosophy and lifestyle into my life, I felt bad for also liking fashion and wanting to start a business.
⭐
Because if I am a true yogi, shouldn't I be detached from wanting anything other than yoga?
⭐
As I am growing as a person, I am learning about different sides of myself. And letting these come out. Because yoga is also about self-study, purpose and awareness.
⭐
I feel my purpose is to serve the scoliosis community. But how exactly, this can evolve. So let's evolve together 🤗

Do you know WHY we advice to first roll to your si

Do you know WHY we advice to first roll to your side before you come up❔
🙏
It is actually a really important part of the rest you just took for your back.
▫️
Just think about..
▫️
You just relaxed all you back muscles. Releasing them from the pull of gravity and relaxing muscles that usually work hard to keep your body up. Now you come up (without the side roll).. and all your back muscles need to work really hard against that gravity to pick yourself up. Forcing the back muscles. GONE all the hard work of relaxing🤯
🙏
Now, when you include a side roll and come up from the side. The back muscles can stay more relaxed. Finishing the resting pose as it should👌
👍
Ready to start the rest of the day💫

A Yummy and Tricky pose for my Scoliosis ⚡
🙋‍♀️
Because my main curve is in my upperback (thoracic), I struggle the most with aligning my shoulders. One has plenty of space because of my curve going in and the other wings out and drops forward. This makes it challenging to work with the shoulders similarly. Therefore, I need different cues depening on the side I am working on.
👩‍🏫
In October I am hosting a workshop in Amsterdam on working with the shoulders with scoliosis.
🤓
If you are interested in learning more through private (online) sessions, just shoot me a message.
🙏
In the mean time tune in with your shoulders. What pattern do they have? And what information are they providing you that you can work with?
💖

I NEED this reminder on a daily basis 💖 💖 E

I NEED this reminder on a daily basis 💖
💖
Everyday I need my practice to take care of myself. Yoga and becoming a Health Coach have given me a lot of tools to choose from. But I still need to consciously make the choice to take care of myself.
💖
Being kind to myself is still a big practice of mine. I can be quite harsh on myself. Though I definitely have softened the last couple of years.
💖
What helps me a lot is to recognize how these patterns have developed in my youth and upbringing. This then enables me to let go of the attachment, I think, they have. And start choosing and integrating new patterns. Through love for myself and a belief in abundance.
💖
Are you harsh on yourself? What are some kind ways you take care of yourself? Would love to hear from you!💖

Start opening the shoulders🙆‍♀️ Especiall

Start opening the shoulders🙆‍♀️ Especially my convex shoulder of my upper curve always wants to chill forward. This stretch definitely helped fix that 👌
💪
Strengthening the shoulders is great. But not so great when they are not aligned. For me it helped to first learn to open the shoulder, find alignment and then strengthen the joint.
🤗
First, be kind the the body. I used to get frustrated with my shoulder, which made me move with tension. Through kind listening to the body I got to hear what it needs. Through stabilization of the other areas, I make the body feel safe and I can guide my body in the stretch softly. When moving in frustration, we usually cause more harm than good. Even if it is well intended.
⚠️
Opening the shoulders can be sensitive. Please listen to your body and don't force any stretch!
🙏
Reach out for guidance to make sure you are moving safely🙏

In my yoga class I always let my students bring their arms up🙌
💫
Just like bringing the legs up, bringing the arms up is great for your body's system. It helps with lymph drainage, loosening the shoulders and increasing movement of the upperback.
🤔
Also think about it.. How often do you raise your arms in your daily life? Sometimes just these little addition can do so much for your body 🙌
💗
Leave me a heart if you've put your arms up today!

Do you give yourself CREDIT for your little wins along the way? 💗
💗
It easy to forget what is achieved, when the focus is on a bigger goal. However, this may lead to anxiety what isn't achieved yet. Therefore, it is valuable and mind easing to see what little wins there are in the journey. And give credit, where credit is due.
💗
I can be my own worst critic. Relatable? And I have to acknowledge that the most valuable are these little steps I am taking and congratulating myself on them. This keeps me motivated. Eager to move forward. And curious about the bigger results ahead 💗
💗
My little wins are
💦 Drinking enough water
🚶‍♀️ Going for a walk
📧 Answering email
🧍‍♀️ Awareness of my posture
🛌 Finding rest
What can you give yourself credit for today?

From now on putting my legs UP the wall will be a part of my night time routine ✨
💫
This pose does so much, for many systems in the body! It calms the nervous system, slows the heart rate, improves leg circulation, massages the thyroid that regulates our hormones and can decrease lower back and hip issues. So what is not to love about this resting pose!💗💗💗
💫
Make sure to feel supported, so you can really relax. If pressure in the lower back, heigthen the lower body. If tight hamstring, move away from the wall (maybe place s block, so your butt still touches something). If your legs flop out, strap them in on hip width.
💫
Give it a try for 10 minutes. And let me know how you feel afterwards 🙏
