10 Tips of Christmas. Tip 1. Breath work. My fav breath methods.
For this first tip I am sharing what I believe to be another key pillar to peak performance, Breath work!
I’ll share my favorite breath work methods to practice from enhancing energy to finding calm.
Restmas. Day 10! Full body into gentle splits.
Enjoy your last day of Restmas. A full body flow into splits – splits are optional – you can relax at that point!
*I noticed that I missed a single leg extension from downward dog on the left side – oops! see if you pick up on it and feel free to add it in 🙂
Restmas. Day 9. Hips – Turnout focus.
Restmas. Day 8. Posture.
A lovely sequence including breathwork, relaxing through the shoulders, chest and hip flexors. Enjoy it!
Restmas Day 7. Gratitude meditation.
It’s a lovely time of year to bring in some gratitude.
“When we focus on our gratitude, the tide of disappointment goes out and the tide of love rushes in.” – Kristin Armstrong
Restmas. Day 5. Lower legs & feet.
Self massage anyone? grab a little cream and a yoga block if you have one and enjoy nurturing those feet 🙂
Restmas. Day 2. Spine flow :)
Our spines are flexible and strong and we wanna keep it that way. It’s not an area that dancers tend to think about when wanting to improve flexibility etc but it’s an important area to mobilise. If your upper back is very tight, then the nerves and fascia that lie along the spine can get restricted. (More on this in my christmas tips) In the lower back, tension in the muscles either side of the spine can restrict the mobility of nerves that pass through them and travel down into the back of the legs. This then restricts our hamstring flexibility. Isn’t the body fascinating?!
