I learned of segmental spinal awareness a few years back at workshops with @carrieowerko. We moved parts of the spine in segments with as much control as to minimally effect other parts of the spine, and we also we waved the spine as one piece as fluidly as possible. I recall Carrie using the imagery of Hokusai’s great wave 🌊 ⁣ ⁣ Moving the spine in a controlled wave-like motion can be observed in many positions and at different speeds. Not just downdog / updog as shown in the video. Here I just chose to try it through a vinyasa, and it may look smooth but I can see parts not moving as smoothly. It’s good to know where one has freedom to move segments of the spine and also take note where one is stuck. For many years I have worked so much on spinal extension that I seem to have comprised the ability to control spinal flexion well. Over all I have focused on stability and mobility, yet not integrated as much the two to move with fluidity. A spine that has total freedom can move in every direction and in every tempo. As I age, I wish to age gracefully— to move with grace and ease. 🦢⁣ ⁣ And if you really want to feast on some real deal spinal waves then check out the phenomal @yuenjon ! 👀 ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ 📍 currently posting from Montevideo, Uruguay 🇺🇾 workshop weekend begins this evening! ⁣ ⁣ Friday 5-7:30pm⁣ Saturday 9am-12pm⁣ Saturday 2-4:30pm⁣ Sunday 9am-12pm ⁣ ⁣ Contact @gabyabaloyoga for registration info ⁣ ⁣ #spinalawareness #segmentalspinemovement #segmentalspinalcontrol #spineawareness #stabilityandmobility #movewithgrace #movefluidly #spinalwave #hokusaiwave #carrieowerko #iyengaryogi #yogizain #travellingyogi #yogamontevideo #yogauruguay ⁣ https://www.instagram.com/p/B27LYuOpLZ8/?igshid=1tuuutglulcpk

#nonjob #job I wish to have the best nonjobjob. Waking up, willing to rise and ride the day. Getting to bed, willing to rest, so I can give you my best. . Therefore I wish to look at my fears and give in to tears. Therefore I ask the universe to give me my tasks that reveal my own masks. . Today I learned a lesson so big, incorporating it makes my knees, oh so weak. . It‘s not about me. It never was. Never ever did they wanted me to be their own. It‘s the energy. The kisses from heaven. The Devine touch. Supreme love. The happiness of the sun. Blessings from Mother Earth. Truth from father sky. . What about me? I can be happy that I am allowed to hold this energy in my body. That it doesn’t burn me. That it makes me shine even if I barely stand my own ground. In my weakest moments ppl who were closest said: but you look so cute when you cry! How can you be so sad, you are so pretty! - Drama of my heart, please ease. . My job, my best nonjobjob is now to learn how to take my ground. Stand all supreme truth with the earthliest smile. My best nonjobjob is to allow in deep awe this magic to unravel and flow free from ether to earth. From me to you. From him to her. From her to him. From them to them. Until we cover all wounds with love. So healing can take place and we finally can make some space. For the new. The new world. A world in wich we will raise children in wholeness. In love. In god. God as in magic. God as in love. God as in the blue of the sky. God as the yellow in the sun. God as in the leafs of spring. . Today I deeply bow. To every day I am allowed to help this mystery to unfold. May we get safe over to the other side. Just follow the stars. . #followers #smile #stardust #magic #serving #service #guidedmeditation #work #fineart #lessonoftheday #watchyourstep #spinalwaves #stayhealthy #weneedyou https://www.instagram.com/p/Bo-H2W3lgF9/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=fxhoi9kjrcee

Since I am on the topic of spinal flows, here is a variation of cat cow that I perform in my warm up before lifting. I'm trying to move each part of my spine independently. Think smooth and fluid like a fish swimming in slow motion. Video is sped up to 2x. PS this song is soo legit. #catcow #yoga #warmup #spinalsegmentation #spinalwaves #spinalflow #mobility #healthyspine #kfitpro (at Kempf Fitness Professional)

Spinal segmentation is a pretty standard opening to my movement practice. Here I am working some extension and flexion in the spine using the stability ball for feedback. The ball I have is a skosh too big but still helps me increase tension by squeezing the shit out of it. This allows me to isolate the spine more efficiently while producing more neural drive (electricity from the brain to the muscles that drives mechanical action aka movement). Video is sped up 4x. Each rep took about a minute. #spinalwaves #spinalmobility #backhealth #lowbackpain #chestopener (at Kempf Fitness Professional)
