Here’s me, moving thru 2 different classes in my yoga & movement app. Just practicing. My own classes 😜 We are halfway through my October Practice Challenge & it’s been so fun to see those of you participating in classes that are new to you, or rediscovering old favorites. 🌀The 1st class I’m moving with here is a fan fav, a short looping vinyasa flow with unique transitions. 🍑 The 2nd class here is a new mobility session that focuses on hip rotation + glute strength. There are over 200 classes in my Solar Movement Space app, with new classes added monthly. I am a non-traditional teacher with years of experience in various movement modalities. If you enjoy creative + challenging ways to move, like to learn new things about your body & gain new skills, and appreciate support + connection to a human coach, you might love my app ☺️ Hop in on the practice challenge - or keep the effort going crew! Have you done these 2 classes I’m practicing here? Which ones are your favorites so far? ⏬️ #yogaapp #yogapractice #yogamovement #mobility by @nickisilvermoves

In yet another episode of Looks Like Nothing / Feels Like Everything! 🥵 I used to see videos of these stank faces - people looking like they were horribly constipated while performing the most seemingly-static exercises. 😖 Some of these videos were of people I now call coaches. And now I get it. 😅 I have years of context, training, knowledge + application. This isn’t nothing, although I get how it can look that way at first. When done properly, applying effort + power at a specific angle, a specific direction, with high internal tension (and INtention), this work becomes EVERYTHING. And requires the best ‘focus face’ you got from way deep down to your core. Cuz literally everything is working. Shown here : 💪🏼 Shoulder ER with flexion - I love the TRX for this ISOmetric setup. Grip feels great + I can pull at max effort. Important combo of angles to train for any overhead athlete. 🦵🏼Hip extension with IR bias - leveraging the bench to bring my back hip into slight internal rotation while in a lotta hip extension. Great prep for deepening front splits, or for runners needing more hip ROM from these angles. It’s all ISOmetrics, but with very specific directional force. I’m not saying these setups are only good for the above mentioned activities. Also not suggesting you stop, drop & try these at max effort. I do think it’s funny that now I’m one of the stank faces out here looking like I’m dying while not moving. If you want to learn how to train like this to open up more usable range of motion and then strengthen that range, check out my app Solar Movement Space (link in bio) for classes you can do anytime, from anywhere. #frc #isometric #shouldermobility hipmobility by @nickisilvermoves

Some of my fav pics from a few years ago - playing around town during the most vibrant fall I’ve ever seen. Colors are turning in middle TN, but it’s not the same show out as the aspens. Do you live in a place with fall colors or evergreens?🌲 🍃🍁🍂 📍Steamboat Springs, CO #autumncolors #yogaoutside #colorado by @nickisilvermoves

HOW TO: DIY mobility sticks 🤙🏼 Don’t want to spend $60-$90 on an orange mobility stick? I gotchu - I’ve made countless PVC sticks for studios, teacher trainings, myself, and sometimes even for in-person clients upon request. Each one costs about $5 🤑 Just as effective/same use as the orange ones for a fraction of the cost. And you might get funny questions at the hardware store about what kind of plumbing project you’re getting into 😜 Also important: pet-approved 🐈‍⬛ #mobility #mobilitystick by @nickisilvermoves

Familiar with Controlled Articular Rotations (CARs)? *and not just from trying to copy a rando on YouTube 😜 If you’ve actually been taught the how/why/what of the patterns and practice them, then don’t be afraid to add some 🌶️ to the setups. And not because it’s bad or wrong to do them the same way all the time. Consistency can showcase setbacks + progress quite well. But if you get bored easily (like me), and like to shake up the set-up, try putting your body in a different position, and then do the CAR pathway for the joint space you are moving. You may notice an alternate angle & new relationship to gravity provides a new stimulus🫯 In this poolside practice, I added various shoulder + scap CARs, and some other wrist + spine motion because it was relevant to what I was warming up for. In this video: - neck - spine - shoulders - scaps -elbows - wrists - additional wrist warmups - shoulder - hip - interlude cuz it felt good - another shoulder - spine segmentation - more scap movement If you’re interested in learning to care for your joints + the connective tissue responsible for allowing you to MOVE, come hang out with me in my Solar Movement Space yoga & mobility app - 🔗 in bio for your 7 day free trial to check it out. #frc #functionalrangeconditioning #cars by @nickisilvermoves

THIS is the @naboso_technology neuro stick. To be honest ya’ll - I am really bad at carving out recovery time. So adding recovery-like aspects to my everyday movement feels like an efficient win. This lightweight textured stick rolls easily on your skin. Depending on how much pressure is applied, it creates varied levels of stimulation to the nervous system and can help improve circulation. It’s like an acupressure AND myofascial tool in one. As a handstand coach, I of course enjoy applying most things to handstands, so massaging the forearms + palms, plus some extra grip squeezes felt great. The sensory socks are also rad. The inside sole is the same patented texture so each step is like a mini foot massage. No real effort needed, I just wear them for an hour or so and let the socks do their thang. Especially after a hefty cardio day, when my feet feel swollen or sore, these babies are my rescue. I appreciate all this company is doing in the neurosensory field. I not only use these products for myself + with my clients, my dad also uses them to aid in his neuropathy struggles. Check out Naboso if you like unique things that feel good. You can even use my discount code for any product, any time - NICKISILVER #naboso #nabosotechnology #sponsored #massagetools #athleticrecovery by @nickisilvermoves

Ahhh the practical usefulness of good shoulder mobility. The shoulder joint’s primary function in the human body is to ROTATE. If your shoulder does not rotate well (or at all), then you do not have a shoulder; you have an arm that kinda moves in a few directions. These are 3 of my fav rotational drills to help discover/maintain range of motion in the GH joint: 🌀 Shoulder CARs (Controlled Articular Rotations) - the ‘apple a day’ movement that takes the GH joint thru every degree/angle of motion it is meant to go 🌀 Capsule CARs - position the head of the GH joint in one spot and rotate externally/internally from there. I am doing these with a light external load here. 🌀Shoulder Swimmers - this pattern is a go-to for my own training as well as when I teach group classes. Can you spot the moments of rotation? Some of this may even look familiar - for my yogis, giving Gomukasana arms and binds? 😉 How often do you rotate your shoulders in isolation to really test how they are moving? Or to be able to apply sunscreen to your own back entirely 😜 Tag me if you give any of these a go! 🍎 #shouldermobility #shoulderrotation #frc by @nickisilvermoves
