The problem is not your hamstrings - it’s that you’ve forgotten (or never learned) to think of the body as a whole

Tom Myers Theory about Myofascial Meridian Lines can be a helpful support in understanding the body as a whole. No they don’t have the answer to everything (nothing does lol) but they can be helpful when we’ve forgotten that everything in the body is connected.

Try this;
- Bend your friggin knees in a forward fold (sometimes hihi)
- Tilt the pelvis (anterior/lift the sit bones)
- Dome the chest (keep your breathing free)
- Shift your weight in to the front of your heel + your big toe and sort of widen the sole of the foot
- Extra play; press slightly into hands on inside of the knee to activate adductors and make the hip hinge lighter
- Then keeping allll that; stretch/bend the knees and play with how folded/lifted your chest is

The concept of tensegrity helps us understand how the body-wide web of fascia links the muscles, organs, joints and everything together. The meridians act a bit like train tracks that distribute movement, strain and postural compensation. Especially the deep frontal line reminds us how the pelvis, the diaphragm and the throat is intertwined in all movement.

Having space for full 360 breathing is most of the time helpful in yoga, mobility and life, so give it a go🫀🌀🪷🥲

To learn more about the myofascial meridians join my upcoming course Embodied Anatomy yayyyy!! DM or comment BODY for a direct link🩻

i rarely call myself a yoga-teacher anymore. or a physiotherapist. or a somatic movement facilitator. or a mobility coach. even though all these things are true when looking at my papers, right now none of it feels fully like ✨me✨

i’m really in a space where i feel so disappointed in our industry. i don’t necessarily hate the players… but i damn friends… I’m starting to hate the game and I’m not sure how/if to keep playing

this industry is as cut-throat as the next one. exploitation. free labour. underpayment. lack of embodiment, education and *walking the talk*.

to me a lot of it, is just starting to feel like another attempt at turning the body and these various practices into something quick selling. profit over people. profit over practice.

I see the wellness, rehabilitative and somatic businesses having this seeming obsession with regulation, optimisation and always some sort of purification? a pain-free life? become a teacher/coach/preacher first (after you’ve paid 4000€ obvi) and a practitioner second?

our bodies are not problems to be fixed. we {humans} {nature} aren’t a collection of parts and pieces that should ever be separated, memorized and neatly organised. we’re alive. and being alive is extraordinarily messy, WILD, confusing (right?) and ever changing.

all I know is. MOVEMENT matters. and whilst I’m trying to find true and beautiful ways (for me) to still move with you, I have good news; put an X in your calendar on World’s Mental Health Day the 10th of October when *ANTI DESK CLUB* launches on my website <33

i try to create a space to feel
a space where it is safer
to respond to the world with emotion
energy in motion
when we deny our bodies to feel our feelings
especially in community
we deny how alive we are
we deny
how much life there really is
there lives this remembering in us
a reminder that playing moving dancing crying laughing
together
is touching divinity
without leaving the skin we’re in

thank you for a magical sweet movement-creativity-community-retreat dear students <3
i truly hope to move w you all (physically-emotionally-spiritually) sooner or later. we are not islands. may we be willing to remember again again again

this was my biggest retreat (maybe ever?) and with me i had the biggest team (definitely ever). it changed everything not to be at ‘the top’ all by myself. this is how i want to live. in community. in movement. in love. huge s/o to all of these babies + magic participants🪷🌺

I’ve recently been SUCH A BRAVE GIRL and even though it’s mostly cool to be cool right now, I still just want to be warm <3

A few weeks ago I posted this random rant on my story (swipe) after my latest trip and received more thank you-messages than ever before, so it felt true + beautiful to give these words more than 24 hours of life

__ let it be known that I didn’t GRIND AND HUSTLED AND THEN MY LIFE WAS SOLVED AND ONLY THEN I FELT BETTER

I started over. Fully. Softer. I unclenched the idea that it’s impossible to *feel good* before *doing good* (read that again maybe??)

I tried on the thought of backing myself. Now. *Without* having all the answers (any answers lol) and *with* the acceptance of all my unaccomplishments (last slide) (shame is so annoying but it only grows in the dark etc)

It took time. It still does. But it gifted me just enough space ___ to start over. Again

You will be ok before it’s all ok!! Anyway if this resonates with you today come say hiiiii <3

Ok, love us believe in us x nannnananananana by @move.w.nanna

belonging can feel hard in our silly silly world when you never learned to draw inside the lines ~ it’s easy to get bitter u know?? ~ but in this magic wood with these magic people __ I remember__ and suddenly there’s hope, hype and TRUST all around🌀🌀🌱 just yes. yesss yes yes yes

can’t believe I used to be scared of heights and now I *need* this stuff??🐭🐭🐭🫀🫀🥲 maybe the things we avoid really are the key to our liberation??

amazing team effort on this one! wowow thanks for the experience super spotters and crew from these last weeks <33

there she is again (I’m not crying you’re crying) (I’m crying we all know it) (lol)

I was so nervous for this trip. getting your confidence back after hibernation is hard (heart) work. but I needed to leave. it was time friiiends

reminding myself that I have two hands
hands that can hold doubt and trust
at once

it’s like we’ve been fooled into thinking that certainty is key. but I’m wondering if all we are is certain and sure, there is no space. no space to change. to move. (to live?)

and if (when!) things get too heavy to hold, there always is a bigger body to hold us. the mountain body. the river body. the collective body.

a body that will remind us how *the problem* is not *the problem*. a body that’s wiser and knows what we need __ my winter sucked. (on top of two last years that for the most part sucked too let’s be honest lolol) but without it

I wouldn’t be here right now. gone alone to these magical mountains meeting magical people and magical animals ~ and magical parts of myself that I thought was gone

may we forget and remember ~ again and again ~ that all feelings will pass ~ if we allow them to. and at the end of the day we’re dancing animals<33

don’t know if it’s cool to post stuff like this anymore but I recently saw these “flying dragon”-like shapes floating around this silly little app and remembered how BAD 2016-nanna practiced and played with exactly this🐭🐭🐭🥹🥹

I sometimes forget that. Yoga is the one thing I’ve stuck to. Nooo, not just the shapes (but if you ask me, they’re amazing too) but also the textbooks, the communities, the discipline - the SHOWING UP again again again… and then suddenly 13 years have passed??

I love this practice. I give the industry a lot of sjit for how it’s being treated. The performative element that seems to shine brighter and brighter. But/and (!) I still believe this is true;

that even though we come for the performance
the handstands, splits, flying dragons
*the content*

this practice
this philosophy
the science that is Yoga
was made to cut through that

so when we stick to it
it doesn’t matter what brought us there in the first place
suddenly 1, 3, 5, 8, 12 or 20 years passed and we’ve come so much closer. to ourselves. to each other. to nature. it’s bound to happen when we get uncomfortable (fall on our face) (and learn how to laugh at it + keep going) again again again 👁️🌀

~~
May we keep practicing friends🌱🪷🫀🐱

your body is not broken or dumb or weak or uneven or something to be fixed.

your body is you. it’s how you’re experiencing life.
it’s ALIVE, so instead of forcing another expensive method down your own throat - can you start with being kind?
hug yourself? touch your skin? get familiar with yourself? 
just.. spend some time in your body. (spend time with YOU). get intimate with your layers of tissues, kidneys, breath, brain ~~ BEING

you’re magic already

there’s so many wild claims being shared on socials. let me tell you; the more crazy, complex and HERE is the ONE QUANTUM TRUTH-ish it sounds... the more you probably should get out hehe :) tell your friends!
