Protecting Your Back at Work

Backache in Pregnancy....

Backache is one of the top complaints with all my Pregnancy Yoga and Pilates students. The two most important places to protect your back is at work and watching how you sleep. Keeping active, using your ball and coming to class will help keep your back strong, but you MUST mind your back in work.

Please read below top tips from one of my FANTASTIC students who has worked in facilities management.

Yoga Home Practice

As a Yoga and Pilates teacher, I often get asked the following questions;
How often should I do Yoga or Pilates?
Should I practice at home?
What exercises should I do?
How can I remember what you do in class?
 
Everyone knows the benefits of coming to a Yoga or Pilates class, and students often ask me how often they should practice outside of class. The ideal yoga practice is a daily practice, I recommend students try do something 3-5 days per week.
 
I have recorded a one hour DVD suitable for home Yoga practice.

All Shook Up

Beginning yogis often shake a lot. As muscles become stronger from regular practice, the fibers learn to trade off between firing and resting with smoother coordination. Eventually, quivering subsides (though there will always be teachers who turn even the strongest students into yoga jelly). To calm the body, try to hug the quivering (contracting) muscle against its underlying bone and press the bone into the muscle being stretched.
 

Quivering is not necessarily bad, but it may be a sign that the body is overworked.
