.r.ethink the path. . Here's something I learned today at #shalayoga after the #tapasya #vinyasa #hatha class when challenged by @kristincampbellyoga to take a familiar pose and deepen it. This is by no means a polished Asana... but that is not what life is about, is it? . To me life used to be about the perfect presentation of myself to the world.... Now it is more about how I move in this place and space, and can I do it with grace, whilst being centered, and enjoying it simultaneously?! . As I learn, I become more and more enamoured with my practice every day... it sure does helps to have a great space and teachers to guide you as you bump along tho'! . #yoga #yogapose #thatsastretch #yogaeveryday #kindabendy #challengeyourself #fitness #flexibilitytraining #focusandconcentration #tattoosandyoga #inkedyogi #inked #tattedman #transformah #ballcapyogi #recoverygangster #postconcussionrecovery #squamishyoga #squamishyogi #domoreyoga #healthyhappylife #rawrtransformations #rawr #returntoplay (at Squamish, British Columbia)

.r.eturntoplay - pelvic instability is no joke. . In this short my lovely model demos a simple sit to stand from a 90° bend. . Just before her knee reaches 90° (the hardest point for this joint) you'll notice an inward wobble of the knee. . Pelvic and lower back injuries (especially those involving the nervous system and joint laxity from shearing forces) often result in instability when pressing through the legs. . By strengthening the "core", (see my previous video on core), stabilizing the hips and lower back, and enhancing balance through imbalance we can better her patellar tracking and decrease her overall pain and enhance her wellbeing. . If the client can visualize weight distribution into a "footprint in the sand", with a slight outward push to the knee we can better engage the side line. Training the ankle, feet and strengthening the arches helps our alignment. Also if we can fire up the transverse abdominus before she performs the action we can ensure that her pelvis is level before she attempts the lift. Lastly re-teaching the glutes to fire in sequence gives her more confidence moving through her hip joint and low back. . Injured? Want to know how to get better? I can help. . #returntoplay #recoverygangster #backinjury #seatbeltinjury #caraccident #tva #arches #patellartracking #peripheralnervoussystem #onelegsquat #pistolsquat #theoriginal #rehab #injuryrehabilitation #roadtorecovery #stormstrength #knee #glutes #core #lowback #ankles #nomorepain #pelvicstability #anklestability #changethegame #injuryrecoverytraining #transformah #readyablewilling #rawrtransformations

.r.etrain and rebuild yourself from the ground up, and the core out. . Movement pattern # 441 1 leg alternating overhead kettlebell press. . Focus: balance, proprioception, core stability, grip strength, shoulder strength and pelvic stability. . Difficulty: 13/20 . Location: #storm in #squamish . Wearing: #lululemon #underarmour . Having to rebuild strength after injury is a humbling process... so this time I'm doing it right; slow, steady, functional, and with lots of core stability, ensuring my stabilizer muscles and my flexibility (through yoga via #shalayoga )and listening intently to what my body is saying to me. . Give it a try and tell me what you think! One of my classes this week will get this!! . #workout #wod #workoutoftheday #exerciseoftheday #exercises #kettlebells #balance #core #corestability #gripstrength #recoverygangster #postconcussion #oldandfat #stillgotit #headinjury #tbi #rehabilitation #rehabjourney #rawr #rawrtransformations #ballcapyogi #fitandflexible #yogaandfitness #yogafied #personaltrainer (at Squamish, British Columbia)

.r.eclaim your life "The person is not reality" I am that - Nisargadatta Maharaj Sometimes it is a challenge to figure out who we really are. Are we our habits, our upbringing, our friend groups, our musical preferences? Are we our thoughts, our emotions, our past experinces? Take a second and observe your thinking. If you can do so, then you have reached an enlightening stage, for you can see at the base of it all you are the observer. Swayed by all the aforementioned things, but not them.... #enlightenment #thinkaboutthinking #youarenotyourcar #iamthat #takethepowerback #soccerball #greengrass #nikeswoosh #sponsormybabbling #wiseguyz #spirituality #findyourself #findmyself #theself #thewho #reading #bookclub #booklist #readme #wisdom #yogi #yoga4life #readingforbrains #meditateonthis https://www.facebook.com/RAWrTransformations

.r.ethink aquaculture One mans waste is anothers goldmine. A few little beauties help convert this wealth in my systems, two of them are found here; Lacuna lemnae (duckweed) and aquatic snail. Duckweed at 35% protein is a great nutrient sink and water purifier, but also feeds the fish. Snails clean algae (which reduces oxygen) from tanks housing fish. #aquaculture #betteraquaculture #healthyfish #nosuchthingaswaste #aquaponics #fish #koi #trout #tilapia #fishtanks #duckweed #snails #letthemeatalgae #ecosystems #modifiedecomachine #waterremediation #swimfishy #happyfishy https://www.facebook.com/RAWrTransformations

.r.eflect your highest desires for the world Meditation is not about "not thinking" or being perfectly still. The human mind likes to chase its tail, so let it... but be reminded that you have the ability to observe the mind. You are therefore not your thoughts, but are indeed subject to their meanderings. Deep breathing and stillness slow the heart and in time bring the brainwave patterns into Delta state. In this place it is easier for us to feel our truest sense and slowly, with practice, we can relax into watching the show unfold without attachment. Simply do not get caught in its grasp and return to your breath and you will reap the rewards of meditation. #Meditateonthis #asabovesobelow #yogisofinstagram #notjustposes #purposedriven #heartopener #deltawave #brainwavepatterns #neurology #neurophysiology #meditation #breathwork #breathoflife #shamanspaces #attachment #thelastlesson #reiki #healingisnotwhatyouthinkitis https://www.facebook.com/RAWrTransformations

.r.etrain your green thumb Ecology is greater than the sum of its parts. Creating abundance in a garden comes from understanding natures meta plan and engaging on her terms. Fight nature and u will lose. Embrace nature and she may snuggle you back. Realize that mother nature creates no waste! Pest tip: Slugs and Snails do not like some of the compounds in eggshells. Use your waste shells and Build a wall to keep out the bad hombres. Remember to wash the eggshells or you'll attract rodents and other creatures. #gardener #permaculture #yellowpeppers #slugs #snails #badhombres #buildawall #thegreatcheeto #onlythiskind #farmtips #trashpanda #rats #bears #RAWr #eggshells #chickens #pestmanagement #nosuchthingaswaste #onemanswasteisanothermanstreasure #greenthumb #gardenyoga #theyogaofgardening https://www.facebook.com/RAWrTransformations

.r.ethink your relationship food .r. is a move towards reflection. It is a pause in a frenetic world. In every moment there is a chance to move towards what you need mentally, physically or spiritually. This pause allows healing, compassion and is the definition of patience. As the cold and dark seeps back into the Canadian landscape don't forget to be good to yourself. The body wants to store fat, so listen, but do not become entranced by her sweet story. #mmmcookies #mymum #baking #standupcookies #partyfavorite #pause #patience #higherpurpose #grumpycat #RAWr #baking #tistheseason #fatbelly #vs #flatbelly #relationshiptofood #relationshipwithmyself #conversationswithayogi #trainertalk #personaltrainer #nutrition #willpower https://www.facebook.com/RAWrTransformations

.r.emember where you come from! Your path may not have been straight, but it is the only reason you stand here today as you. This is a throwback: This was my path for many years.... After over 10000 hours of personal training, rehabilitation, health education fitness classes, yoga, meditation, martial arts, self-defense, infrared sauna and Reiki I came out a very different person. Now to reshape and grow that person on that journey once again in Squamish.
