LENGHT and STRENGHT are scoliosis' best friends👭
☝️
The curves with scoliosis are being challenged in our daily life. Simply because of gravity and the pull down. Therefore, we need to use this knowledge in our advantage to create lengths in different ways. And gravity can actually be used in this process to strengthen the back while in a lengthened position 🤯 How you ask?
💪
Well, see this pose above. Because I am horizontal my body is fighting to not fall down. Of course I am grounding my hands and feet to anchor myself. However, while lengthening myself, my back muscles are working hard against gravity. It is not felt that much, because the tiny postural muscles are being activated. But it is super valuable because
✅ lengthen and strengthen at the same time
✅ less tired back
✅ being able to sit longer
✅ feel more balanced
🙏
Looking forward to teach again each Thursday at 17:30 @bluebirdsamsterdam. And on Tuesday I still have online classes.
💕
Just dm me if you are interested 🤗

A grateful and tired face 😌 We had an amazing scoliosis awareness weekend with our foundation @ilovemyback.nl 💛
🤗
4 groups of teens and tweens got to a attend a My SelfLove workshop by @patriciawinklaar.coach.trainer & @beyoutifulwhitmey 💕
And I got to share a little bit about Health Coaching and my personal pain story.
💪
I hope we gave them tools to feel stronger, voice themselves better and hope that living with scoliosis can rather be seen as an inspiration than a burden.
💛
Looking forward to future events, getting to know the scolisquad better and growing it even more here in The Netherlands! 💕
And special thanks to co-founder @charlottebeatrice for all her hard work in putting this event up.🙏

My back is unique. It carries me through my life and has experienced many highs and lows with me. I am grateful for what is has taught me and what it enables me to do at this moment.
💕
I had times I hated it. Lots of frustration. Usually this comes from a lack of understanding and missing a sense of control.

However, it is not about gaining control, but about becoming aware of the choices I make and learning to trust my body and the universe. This is actually way harder than it sounds. But practice makes progress.

Life will always bring us new situations to challenge us. But what we can always can count on is ourselves. Find what is important to you and voice who you are, then the right people to support you will come your way. Maybe I am one of them. I am happy to guide you in your health journey 🙏

Take care of your back and the relationship with yourself 💕 #internationalscoliosisawarenessday

Great to be able to see students again and help them in their scoliosis journey🙏

Start with water 💦 If you want to do anything for your health, simply start with water.
💧
Though I notice it is not always that simple. Our body needs around 2 to 3 liters of water a day. How much are you drinking?
❌ tea doesn't count
❌ coffee doesn't count
❌ alcohol doesn't count
🚰
Just tap water (depending on where you live) will do. It is possible to bring a little taste in it with fresh fruit. However, I like my water just plain and simple. So refreshing and calming to my nerves too!
💧
When I was struggling with sugar craving just increasing my water intake helped a lot! And in my Health Coaching training I actually learned that cravings for sugars can be a sign of dehydration. So check in with yourself and grab another glass of water 💦

I have been stuck in the health care system. And it sucked🙇‍♀️
🏥
As a young adult I got a lot of back pain. And as the western health care system did all their tests and didn't find anything, all they wanted to do was drug me or kill my nerves. That felt so ridiculous to me 🤯

I am a young woman, this shouldn't be life!

I started looking at other directions and learned there are so many other ways to look at conditions 🧐 And learning how magnificent the body is and how every cell of my body renews itself in different time specs, I knew it would be possible to heal myself.

But how?

I went to different specialist that have been valuable to me, a chiro, a guided liver cleanse, yoga for scoliosis teachers and a mesoloog. (Sorry, if I forget anything). But what has helped me the most is to take responsibility for myself and take at the bigger picture in how I take care of myself. My daily habits have the most power 💥

I was my own coach through this process. Which is hard AF. But all I wanted to do was learn about my body and what I needed. And get rid of that annoying pain.

Which I did after 3 years.

It took a lot.

A lot of frustration, tears and wanting to give up.

But I persisted. And so can you. Maybe you want to become your own health coach, then the program @nutritionschool is a great start!

Or maybe you want guidance and a friend by your side. Just send me a ❤ to receive more information.

Het laatste weekend van juni is International Scoliosis Awareness Day!
💛
Stichting I love my back organiseert net als afgelopen jaar een gratis jongeren bijeenkomst, alleen dit jaar digitaal ivm corona.
💛
‘Scolisquad’ evenement wordt verdeeld in twee ochtend sessies op 27 en 28 juni. Voor twee leeftijdsgroepen (12-17 en 18-33). 💛
Er worden per dag twee inspirerende en interactieve workshops gegeven samen met Fre-Fu @patriciawinklaar.coach.trainer @beyoutifulwhitmey en erna een korte workshop over wat gezondheid met je scoliose eigenlijk is met mij!
💛
Tijdens de Fre-Fu workshops ontdekken we samen hoe je van je zelf van binnen en buiten leert te houden. Een portie positiviteit, ondanks de belemmeringen die scoliose kan geven. Je gaat je sterker voelen dan ooit!
💛
Jana neemt je mee in een verdieping van health coaching. Welke elementen in voeding en welzijn zijn extra belangrijk als je scoliose hebt?
💛
Schrijf je snel in, want dit jaar hebben we beperkt de ruimte. Wil je een goed gevulde goodiebag? Laat dan je adres achter, dan krijg je het via de post!
💛
Ga naar @ilovemyback.nl voor meer info en aanmelden!

I GRADUATED as Health Coach! 🥳
Last March I finished the Training @nutritionschool and recently got my diploma in the mail. It was a personal and business journey for sure. I got more aware of some of my own limiting beliefs and was given the tools to empower myself in my business and life🌸
🌿
Information and awareness are key. They help me in making conscious choices that feed my body, mind and soul. Helping me to function at my best. No, I am not perfect. And I am also still on my healing journey. But I am grateful for the tools learned and being able to share this knowledge through my coaching.
🥳
Yeah, for Health Coaching!

The FRUSTRATION of my body not moving like a want

The FRUSTRATION of my body not moving like a want it to 😖
🌸
I never realised that frustration and judgement about my body can be considered as hating my body. If years ago someone would have asked me if I hated my body, I would probably have said no. However, I was definitely frustrated with it when I was in pain or during my early yoga practice.
🌸
Through yoga philosophy I have learned about 'ahimsa' or non-violence. Not only to other, but especially towards ourselves. My inner dialogue wasn't always nice. And even now I can still struggle with it. However, I have learned to break the spiral.
🌸
With a lot of mental and physical hardship it is not really about solving so it no longer exist. It is more about becoming conscious of my mental and physical patterns, acknowledge them and choose a healthier option. Use the input that my body is giving me as guidance instead of sabotage. This gives a new perspective in the mental or physical experience.
🌸
Get to know yourself, your boundaries and what you love in life. If you need any help, I am happy to guide you 🌸

Got downward dog you down? It had me for a long time.
🐶
In general yoga classes downward dog is used as a transition pose. Through sequences is used a lot and is considered to be an easy pose. However, with scoliosis it can be quite challenging.
🐕
In this pose I struggle with my hyper mobile arms and to not fall into my scoliosis pattern in my back. Meaning going into my curve more, not getting my convex shoulder blade in my back and my concave rib popping out at the front.
👇
My tips for you are
✔ keep the elbows looking towards each other and slightly bend
✔ push both hands well into the floor and the concave arm a little more
✔ don't straighten the legs, but focus on straightening the spine
✔use your core❕
💪
Hope this helps! Or come join me for class or a private session sometime🙏

Do you believe in magic? 🧚‍♀️ I do. 💫

Do you believe in magic? 🧚‍♀️ I do.
💫
Isn't it magical how the body can just heal a cut, without any help? How our mind can come up with so many stories and ideas? Do you dream about a certain life you want to live? Why don't you do it?
💫
Yes, you might not be there yet. But a lot is possible in this universe. And the first step is to set aside your fear and start stepping in who you want to become. One step at a time. Until one day, you wonder how you ever doubted yourself that is was possible at all.
💫
Belief is the first step in achieving. If I never believed in a healthy body, I would have never be able to solve my pain. If I got stuck in my limiting story because of my scoliosis and pain, it can actually prevent the body from healing. So start believing and slowly start taking your steps to a life without back pain.
💫
If you need any guidance, just send me a PM. Happy to help you on your way.

What does your best self looks like? And I don't mean comparing yourself to others, but for you personally💫
🌸
To me it means
✔ drinking enough water
✔ make whole foods meals for myself and enjoy them
✔ go for a walk
✔ do yoga
✔ be kind to myself (no emotional eating or picking my skin, but recognizing my feelings and giving them space)
✔ do something that makes me smile
✔ serve my scoliosis community
🌸
It took me some time to realise what is important to me, what nourishes my soul and how I can contribute to society. Do you know this for yourself? You can always start by journaling about it. And then each day start showing up in just a little bit of a higher vibration.
🌸
Are you looking for guidance in this journey? Then I am happy to help you out in my 6-month Health Coaching program. Just send me a PM for more info.

Looking forward to hear from you. Or leave in the comments what you visualize as your highest self💫

Length is my scoliosis' best friend 👯‍♀️

Length is my scoliosis' best friend 👯‍♀️
🧘‍♀️
Length sounds so easy. Just straighten yourself up, a lot of people would say. How often people with scoliosis hear just to 'sit straight' is so annoying. Because it is actually way harder than it seems for us.
🧘‍♀️
Luckily Yoga for Scoliosis provides clear cues to start working with your back. Not lengthening our joints, but learning to lengthen the muscles. And becoming aware of which parts of your specific scoliosis pattern needs lengthening, activation and/or stabilization.
🤫
In June I (and someone else) will have something for you. Stay tuned if you are interested in more specific guidance in Yoga for Scoliosis🙏

Hi 👋 from me on my walk.
🌿
Walks are great for the nervous system 🌿 and a healthy nervous system means a healthy body and mind.
🌿
Nature, fresh air are so important for our health. Also recent studies about the covid-19 virus show that closed off buildings/rooms carry the virus the best. And that going outside is not a risk in contracting the virus. Therefore, let's enjoy going for walks.
🌿
And a lot of being inside and sitting still may cause back issues. So another reason to move yourself outside.
🌿
When will you plan your next walk?

Change is all around us. Whether we like it or not

Change is all around us. Whether we like it or not. It can feel like change is forced upon us or.. can there be an or?
💟
Yes, it can be possible to choose change. To step into transformation. This is usually not easy, I know. It can feel comfortable to not change. But this can make me feel stuck. And I like to grow. Get better, be better.
💟
Man, it is hard. But so worth it. Like taking care of my back used to be such a struggle. But now it is more integrated in my life in little daily habits. What used to feel like super big changes, I now hardly notice anymore.
💟
Yes, I have had anxiety lately. And I think this is, because a change is coming my way. And I want to not let my anxiety keep me stuck, but rather practice openess for all the new good things come my way. My healthier, thriving self.
💟
I envision myself being able to achieve and manifest everything that I want and deserve. Being able to take of myself, my loved ones and students is my highest goal.
💟
What do you envision for yourself? Are you stepping into change?
💟
