    12 | How to Reset During the Holidays

    With it being the day after Thanksgiving, we are talking about doing a post-Thanksgiving reset. Reset is an idea that we have these buttons within ourselves that we can press in order to start with a fresh plate.

    By having the option to press this nonexistent button, we don’t have to go through the processes of repatterning. Oftentimes, the holiday season tends to give us the “blues” which is caused by pressure, high expectations, and overindulgence.

    Reset Acronym:

    • R: Release
    • E: Exercise
    • S: Service
    • E: Evaluate
    • T: Thanks

    10 | Neutral Pelvis: The Secret to a Strong Yoga Practice & Life

    A neutral pelvis is so important for our movement patterns and for our energy level, and that’s why today’s episode is all about creating and maintaining a neutral pelvis.

    What does “pelvis” mean? Where is the pelvis?

    In Latin, pelvis translates to “acetabulum” meaning, basin.

    The pelvis is where your lower limbs come up and meet at the hip joint. The illium, the pubic bone, the sacrum, and the tailbone all meet to create the pelvis. The tailbone actually serves as an attachment point for the lower muscular system.

    What is a neutral pelvis?

    The pelvis provides the foundation for the spine. When thinking about energy exchange and how we hold onto energy within the body, a neutral pelvis is fundamental for that. If you go against a wall and find your sacrum, pushing that against the wall will help you see where your pelvis aligns. If you find that it’s difficult, this probably means the front of your hip is tight and you have an anterior tilt.

    Why is it important?

    A neutral pelvis is important in supporting the spine, this way no excessive strain is placed on your spinal cord. It is also important for proper joint movement, and fundamental for taking big, deep breaths.

    Neutral Acronym:

    • N: Neck in line
    • E: Elongate
    • U: Un-clench your jaw
    • T: Tailbone down
    • R: Ribs broaden
    • A: Abdominals drawn together
    • L: Line between the pubic bone and tailbone
