Many injuries are caused by muscular imbalances within our bodies. Also we can injure our bodies when we are tense or move without to be present and fully aware of the movements.
There are many causes for these imbalances; our posture, our breath, our emotions, our state of mind, the way we walk, bend over, sit, lie down, or work out this includes the way we sleep, or the way we talk… basically the ways in which we move. Most of us move incorrectly in some way or another, which puts too much pressure on some muscles and weakens others, causing an imbalance, causing unnecessary stress and using the wrong muscles.
In Yin Yoga we put emphasis on releasing our thoracic lumbar fascia, and all our Fascia network, targeting joint and relaxing muscles, breathing, calming our mind and letting our body talk and communicate from within.
I have had the magnificent experience to have had my own physical and emotional rehabilitation after 12 months from having had ACS with Diseconomy.
The way that we move may put too much pressure on the spine, hips, while weakening the pelvic muscles in the front of the body. Either scenario creates an imbalance, which means the body is much more susceptible to serious strains, pulls, tears or worse.
Yin Yoga and Pilates exercises promote an even musculature throughout the body by strengthening the Hips area, Sacrum, Core, Spine, upper limbs and lower limbs. As a Pilates and Yoga Teacher always I like to think that our body is a Work of Art. No matter what is going on with us at the present moment, we are all unique and we all have the capacity to embrace the present, we are ONE!
The Power House is considered the “center” of the body and consists of the deep abdominal muscles along with the muscles closest to the spine. And also as everybody know me I just redefine the Power House as a Unit and our entire body, mind and spirit. You can read about that in my past posts. https://luzlife.com/2014/05/26/defining-the-new-power-house/
Working also with Yin Yoga principles helping to release the tension created by my own traumatic experience. Realizing fiscally and emotional my entire humanity. That why I give to Yin Yoga all the credibility because prepare your body for the Pilates as a Yang exercise. As we know Yin and Yang are part of our inner Universe. As the Universe is outside, it is also within.
At LuzLife Private Studio we work with all the Pilates equipment necessary to give the necessary energies to spinal and pelvic alignment, which is critical in getting us to move the way we are supposed to move to avoid injury.
Based on the principles of the Pilates repertoire; breathing, core strength, even musculature, we work on Fascia release and deeper stretching of the joints.
Another reason is that it provides a greater degree of flexibility than most conventional forms of physical therapy. This is true because Pilates and Yin Yoga exercises can be modified for each person to be extremely effective. You can go from basic movements to very advanced, depending on how a client or student needs to progress or how badly they are injured. LuzLife Studio will take care of you, at the same way is taking care of me day by day.
Namaste.
