Your core secrets and core transitions have transformed my yoga practice and that of my students.
I have shoulder impingement and a slight dislocation of the upper arm bone. Now I know HOW I got it!! I am currently receiving EdURep PT but thanks to you, I no longer have to continue impinging my poor shoulder.
I hope I can get to take your core yoga training as soon as i finish my 500 hour training this year.
Thanks! I have found that instruction often lacking in yoga, so now we can unite the Core Strength on yoga mats as well as Pilates' Great to hear from you...
haha, I ment heels (not feet) :DD problems with the english language xD Although it would have been great if I could stay only on my hands without using my feet:D
Although I was practicing yoga for about 2 years, I was doing the down dog in a pretty false way:D Thanks to your beautiful explanations, I was able to spread my shoulders open. After several (correct) tries I finally touched the ground with my feet:))) Now I feel the pose in a different way and I enjoy it more:))) THANKS, SADIE!!!
Your core secrets are just wonderful. I hope you will share more in the future. I'm trying to imporove my down dog but I always have a bit of a hunch back and can never get my arms in the same plane as my body. Is there another insight that I'm missing? Very best to you.
If you have scoliosis, that's one thing, but you can try bending your knees in the pose, arching your back a little more to put the lower bak curve in. At the SAME time, engage your navel towards your spine a bit. Then, roll your arms and shoulders towards your ears, and down onto your back. Think of lifting your armpits away from the floor, and then dropping your shoulders to neutral.
I found this video helpful. I use this move, (transfering into a downward facing dog), as part of a warm-up for kettlebell training. It's good to get some clarification on how to do the move properly and it actually feels a lot better doing it your way. Thanks for posting this.

Very good instructions as we do the belly button lift towards the spine and up with the pilates "scoop". Very effective indeed.
