Hip alignment can be challenging—perhaps more so than the alignment of any other joint in the body. This is true not just because hip tightness is such a common phenomenon. It is also true because we don’t spend much time bringing awareness to our hips and core. Poor hip awareness in turn makes it very challenging to place the hips intentionally, but learning to do so produces many amazing benefits. Read more>>

As your awareness of your body grows more subtle, you may notice that your head is not really where you thought it was, namely balancing on top of your spine. This postural misalignment is called hyperkyphosis/head forward position. To address this problem, you need to focus on opening the front of the chest and strengthening the upper back. Equally important, however, is learning to let go of neck tension, because neck tension and hyperkyphosis mutually reinforce each other in a vicious cycle, while also contributing to chronic stress and depression.

When you look at photos of people in super-deep backbends, it often looks like they have a sharp 90 degree kink in their lower back. It looks that way because they do. They have a hyper-mobile lower back. That certainly seems advantageous for deep backbends, but it is not something you want to emulate if your back doesn’t do that naturally. And even if it does do that, it might still cause problems for your lower back. This week we will focus on how to align our hips to create more balanced, more spacious, and safer backbends.

In order for mere mortals like us to deepen our backbends, we need to focus on opening everything else, which includes our upper back and our shoulders (next week’s theme), and our hip joints. The beauty of learning how to align your hips in backbends to get more movement out of your hip joints is that it also is the key to protecting your lower back. Read more>>

Do you frequently wish you had more energy? Do you drink coffee or tea to energize? Caffeine is by far the most-consumed drug worldwide, and the reason is simple: we all want to have more energy. Unfortunately, caffeine is generally not the best way to get it. After a caffeine-induced energy boost, your energy levels tend to crash to a new low, requiring ever more caffeine. Instead, have you tried energizing yourself with yoga? Yoga can provide you with a sustainable energy boost that does not cause your energy levels to plummet later. All you need to do is to fine-tune your practice to emphasize the generation of energy. Three simple ways to do that is through increased breath awareness, an emphasis on mindfulness, and the inclusion of backbends and inversions. >>read more
