We see this all of the time. Always a good reminder. 💚 This is the kind of stuff we will be talking about in the upcoming postpartum series, and you will also be learning some proper functional techniques and movements for carrying your baby and things like those awkward car seats! 😳 Repost from @mamastefit using @RepostRegramApp - // Carrying Your Human //
.
.
Collapsing into our joints is the easiest way to carry our little ones and all the accessories of small humans (cart seat, diaper bag, toy bag, snack bag.....). .
.
However, collapsing into our joints may not be beneficial in the long term and may actually cause more discomfort or pain. So while it’s the easiest, it also may end up being why your low back hurts all the time. This will be even more true as your baby grows heavier and heavier.
.
.
If you find yourself leaning backwards or popping the hip out sideways to support your baby’s weight, consider lifting out of the joints and standing more upright. Your core canister is more optimally aligned to stabilize and support you during movement. .
.
It will fatigue you quicker than slouching over, but it supports your healing and helps alleviate the discomforts that can be associated w motherhood. .
.
Take a look in the mirror at how you’re carrying your baby, and if you find or feel that you’re collapsing into your joints, see how lifting out of the joints feels in comparison. .

Perspective. ❤️ Repost from @birthfit using @RepostRegramApp - “Picture this scene: you are wrapped in a nice, cozy, warm blanket constantly being rocked to sleep with music always playing. That seems pretty fantastic, right? Well, not so long ago that is where your baby was at while in the womb. Being rocked back and forth in a pool of amniotic fluid, wrapped in the warmth of your body, listening to the sweet sound of your heartbeat. Now that they made their great escape, everything is different. It’s cold, they are no longer wrapped and rocked to sleep and they have this newfound freedom to move while noises and lights are are all new to them. The only thing that isn’t new is the comfort of you. Of course they want to snuggle up and be next to their protector; you’re the only thing they recognize in this new world! It is not only common, but it is normal in those early days for babies to want and need to be held. They are not trying to be spoiled or manipulate you, they are simply seeking the same comforts they had while on the inside—a steady heartbeat, warmth, and the gentle movements of your breath.” - Dr. Lauren Keller of @birthfit_chicago_western_burbs 💚 #birthfit #fitness #nutrition #mindset #connection #birthfitbaby

This makes so much more sense to me since I have been incorporating breath work and the functional progression into my daily yoga practice! When you understand the natural biomechanics and function of the core, movements beyond that are not always idea for your body. Love this! 💚 Repost from @enlightened_savage_101 using @RepostRegramApp - Do you even Yoga!
.
Yoga can be a hugely beneficial practice, therapy, exercise and stress reliever.
.
But ... are you doing too much????
.
The range of the movement you are doing should only stay within your body’s neutral limits.What does that mean?
.
Keep the "canister" stacked by maintaining ribs over the pelvis and a neutral spinal position.
.
Coming out of the posture some while keeping the ribs and pelvis neutral, you can see relaxed erectors in the second picture. .
Also, notice there is no hyperextension in the lumbar.
.
Another key in the second picture is that the glute is full and rounded, acting ideally as a stabilizer.
.
Better positioning = better activation = pain free yoga.
.
More yoga posts, videos and fixes coming soon.
.
.
Stay centrated my Friends!
