They are reaching through their foliage to celebrate!

Weeding is good for human bodies, as long as we move with mindfulness. Notice if your shoulders creep up to the ears. Let your core initiate movements. Tune in to bodily tension, and see if you can breath a little more fully.

And if you don’t feel like weeding in the heat, you can celebrate National Sewing Machine Day instead! Or, go find your Pilates mat and make a date with The Hundred.

You’ve heard it before: use the best muscles for the movement. Give the other ones a break!

Alas, some of us have worker bee Nervous-Nelly butts — so busy gripping and clenching (“helping”), they start altering the mechanics of the pelvis, and they inhibit the activation of the transverse abdominis muscles.

That’s where YOU come in. Take time to tune in to your body. If you recognize derrière tension, slow down, and invite it to shift. See what happens.

Once you identify a pattern, you really can affect change. Not overnight, of course (and pressuring yourself may just get those glutes going). But, little by little, and with support from a Pilates instructor, if you’re lucky enough to have one you can call on.

Tag an instructor who helps you with this! Tag a friend who knows about grippy glutes!

Even when the world is doing cartwheels on a teeter totter, you can create your own stability. And after that, you can do it again.

Before we begin:
Notice the location of your bottom rib.
Let your collar bones be wide.
Feel your scapula reaching for your back pockets.
Allow your ears to stretch away from your shoulders.
Let go of the tension in your feet if you can.
Tune into your breath.

Ok, maybe that’s SIX steps. What am I forgetting!?

As the conductor of your own bodymind, you get to make the decision to pause and give this a try. You don’t even have to be on a mat or cadillac (since most of the magic is in your own mind).
