Credit to from @mrs_angemi (@get_regrann) - I love this artist! Her name is Lisa Nilsson and she does these anatomical cross-sections with paper! These pieces are made of Japanese mulberry paper and the gilded edges of old books. They are constructed by a technique of rolling and shaping narrow strips of paper called quilling or paper filigree. #iheartautopsy #iheartanatomy #anatomy #anatomicart #art #lisanilsson #pathology #medical #medicina #medicine #medschool #medstudent #oddity #oddities #humananatomy #human https://www.instagram.com/p/B1nB6ZJhK0o/?igshid=1hv9jl9wcibd9

#Repost @bodywelltherapies 💖🧠💖 (@get_repost) ・・・ Compression in yoga & massage: . . Muscle fibers are tiny contractile units within larger muscle bundles. When they contract and stretch, blood vessels (arteries & veins) are compressed between the bundles, causing a decrease in the amount and rate at which blood flows through. Reciprocally, when muscles relax, the blood vessels dilate, causing and increase in blood flow. . . Together, periods of muscle contraction and restricted blood flow followed by an infiltration of fresh oxygenated blood, support maximal function and health of the body’s tissues— replacing stagnant waste with life-giving nutrients. This is the main benefit of a long-hold practice (either contracting or stretching). . . The difference in holding a muscle in contraction or stretch, is its impact on the muscles themselves, and reactively the joints. Sustained compression in #massagetherapy has similar circulatory effects & can effectively release a lot of tension. . . In a long hold contraction (as in standing asanas), muscle fibers are waking up and recruiting one another into action. The first time a beginner attempts #navasana weakness is due to only a fraction of the necessary muscle fibers working. Through the process of trembling, slowly other fibers begin to wake up and help out, allowing more strength and less trembling over time. . . Similarly, in a long-hold stretch, adhesions between muscle fibers are breaking up and restoring a natural glide to the tissues. As a result, we are not only stronger, but able to move with increased ease while expending less energy. . . ©️this is a page from my modular 200, 300, 500 #yogateachertraining manual. 🔗link in bio. . . 📸 throw back to Costa Rica circa 2001.
