Psoas lengthener
This movement is a way of lengthening the psoas muscle (one of the hip flexors) which has a number of key steps to it. These are using the mechanics of the body to try to focus the movement into the psoas and countering typical avoidance movements. This is an...
Weebles wobble
Here we go again. My winter blues has been really strong this year. This is a post that I started writing in February, and I've ciome back to the post a couple of times in the months since. I have thought long and hard about whether I want to share what's been...
Pelvic scritches
This is a lovely movement that I find helps to soften the low back and pelvis. Is similar to the Scapula Scritch, but the other end of ths spine. Why do I call it a scritch? Well, it's a word I've (possibly) made up that is kind of like a scratch or an itch. ...

Foot yoga

This is such a classic stretch that many people do, and it can be seen as variation of Pigeon pose from the Yoga traditions, or the Sign of Four from Pilates. It can also be done lying on the ground and I have also shown it as part of my "Meeting Stretches" but as...
