Good night sleep will give you back patience, nervous system regulation, a will to decide what to do with your life, strength to perform the change, will help you find joy in everyday moments, sense and fullfilment in longer term. Will erase permanent tiredness, brain fog, mood swings, irritation and... belly fat.

😴💤🛌

Just this one thing - proper sleep - no tablets, gummies, powders sold to us as menopause suplements.

These three poses release tension from your hip and lower back area. We tend to store stress there a lot!
How:
Hold your poses 1-10mins each. Breathe. And see the tension leaving the body, get clearer mind in time for bed.

This on its own can improve sleep quality.

Part 7 of Full workout - glute muscles and hip mobility.

Exercises:
🌱 clamshells 10-20 reps
🌱 side leg kick 10-20 reps
🌱 front-back kick 10-20 reps
🌱 hip mobility circle 10 reps
🌱 figure 4 stretch 30 sec- 1 min

You should be feeling your glutes by now, but if it's not enough, do 2-3 series.

And why we're doing these?
Glute muscles support your lower spine (work in the office? You may know what I'm talking about). By strengthening your glutes you build your spinal health and get rid of the lower back pain.

Belly button in and you have abdominal workout.

Hip mobility declines with age and occupation, re-build it with me.

Stretches after strength training - that's how healthy muscles are done.

Part 4 of full workout - hamstrings and hips.

Tight hamstrings may contribute to lower back pain and our hips are one of the areas that tend to store stress.

Addressing these is ever so important not only to manage healthy joints and lower back but also to relieve stress which works especially well when you focus on your breathing.

A quick note, it is not recommended to go into full forward fold in serious lower back issues - hence my position during the fold. You still get beautiful hamstring stretch, no need to lay your head on your laps😎

We work from the hips not from upper back or neck. Feel it!

Going to give it a try?

I will be adding full workout here, day by day, so you have a preview what to expect in my classes. Each part to be performed separately as you please.

Part 1 - warm-up spinal mobility

1. Cat-cow 5-7 reps
2. Chest circles (thoracic mobility) 5 reps each way
3. Side body opening, hip to shoulder 10 sec hold each side
4. Thread the needle 5 reps plus inside of the leg stretch 5 reps

As you can see I have hypermobility in my elbows and knees, these are absolutely safe for it. And, every single exercise in my class is safe for your back, but also helps restore its mobility and support the spine to help you live back pain free.

Classes are designed to build strength with no weights, improve mobility and flexibility and bring you peace.

We do mobility for the ease of movement in everyday life, strength with no weights and resistance, body weight only, flexibility for healthy tendons and some laughing too - for the joy of being together🌈

This class helps get rid of back pain, neck and shoulder, hip pain. Build your muscle mass (we heard that we lose it with age), stretch tight muscles, get energised but also find inner peace, connect with your inner self and relax. And, what matters, fight anxiety and depression.

During most difficult times, this few minutes you can give yourself to take care of your health is truly precious.

Even a few moves, few exercises is your defence force, your shield against stress, overwhelm.
