From the DNS perspective, Bear position is a developmental, weight-bearing position that emphasizes organization and stability under load, rather than flexibility. Rooted in how infants learn to support themselves through the arms and legs, the focus is on joint centration, diaphragm-driven core control, and efficient load sharing through the limbs.

Calm, 360-degree breathing allows the diaphragm and deep core to create stability from the inside out. This helps maintain a balanced rib cage–over–pelvis relationship, keeping the spine long and supported while the arms and legs share the work.

When practiced this way, Bear position becomes an integration exercise—improving postural control, joint support, and efficient movement—shifting the focus away from forcing a stretch and toward building coordinated, strain-free stability.

Have you heard cues like “belly button to spine” or “flatten your lower back into the mat”?

While these cues are often intended to protect the spine from excessive arching, they’re sometimes misinterpreted as meaning a posterior pelvic tilt or a constantly flexed spine. Over time, this can limit how well the core actually supports movement.

Ideally, core training should teach us how to stabilize in a neutral spine and neutral pelvis, allowing the body to generate support without over-tucking or flattening. This helps muscles work together more efficiently and supports better movement, posture, and load tolerance in daily life and exercise.

The DNS Modified Oblique Sit offers powerful benefits for core control and efficient movement. It trains the diaphragm, deep abdominals, and spinal stabilizers to work together, rather than relying only on the larger, outer muscles.

This position promotes better joint alignment, allowing the hips, spine, and shoulders to share load more evenly. It also encourages healthy glute activation without excessive gripping or stressing the low back. By building rotational control, it supports everyday movements like walking, reaching, and turning, and teaches the body to stabilize before moving.

Because of this, the DNS Modified Oblique Sit carries over well into real-life transitions such as rolling, getting up from the floor, or shifting weight to stand. It’s especially helpful for individuals who overuse their back muscles, feel unstable through the hips or pelvis, or feel “stuck” when rotating.

When practiced with relaxed breathing and slow, controlled movement, this position helps retrain the nervous system to move in a more supported, efficient way.

In Dynamic Neuromuscular Stabilization (DNS), transitional movements are essential because they train the nervous system to maintain stability while the body changes position—just as we do in everyday life.

One of the most important transitions is sidelying to side (oblique) sitting, a developmental milestone that typically appears around 6–7 months of age. This pattern integrates breathing, deep core stabilization, and joint centration while the body supports itself asymmetrically through the arm, shoulder, trunk, and pelvis.

As weight transfers through the supporting arm and pelvis, the diaphragm, deep abdominals, and pelvic floor work together to generate controlled intra-abdominal pressure, stabilizing the spine without rigid bracing. This transition also builds scapular and shoulder stability, improves trunk integration, and teaches efficient weight-shifting—skills that later support upright posture and coordinated movement.

Practicing this transition helps restore natural motor programs, enhance functional strength, and improve posture and movement efficiency in both daily life and sport.

The side plank is an excellent exercise for improving stability through the trunk, pelvis, shoulder, and hip. However, many people experience shoulder, neck, or rib cage discomfort, and sometimes even numbness or tingling down the arm after performing it.

One of the most common reasons this happens is poor shoulder alignment, specifically how the shoulder is positioned in relation to the chest. The shoulder blade is not designed to lie completely flat against the back. In a natural resting position, it sits about 30–35° forward in what’s called the scapular plane.

When the chest is forced to face straight forward during a side plank, the shoulder can be pushed out of this optimal, centrated position—placing unnecessary stress on the neck and shoulder.

If you’ve felt symptoms in the neck or shoulder during side plank, try performing it as demonstrated in the video to keep the shoulder better aligned and supported.

When the adductors become tight or overactive, they can inhibit their antagonist muscles—the glutes—leading to reduced hip stability, poor joint centration, and compensatory movement patterns. This imbalance weakens glute activation during activities like squatting, running, and single-leg stance, causing the body to rely even more on the already tight adductors.

Using a DNS approach, particularly the sidelying hip opener, helps recenter the femoral head in the hip socket and restore efficient, reflexive glute activation without excessive adductor gripping. This exercise emphasizes stacked hips, neutral alignment, diaphragmatic breathing, and small, controlled ranges of motion—allowing the glutes to engage while the adductors relax.

The result is improved hip centration, better lateral hip stability, and a stronger foundation for efficient lower-body movement.

In our recent workshop, Dominica explained how holding the stomach in all day—whether from posture habits, tight clothing, chronic stress, or years of being told to “pull your belly in”—can actually weaken the core, disrupt breathing, and contribute to digestive, pelvic floor, and musculoskeletal symptoms.

True core support comes from coordination and breath, not constant tension. Sometimes the most helpful cue is simple: give your belly a break.

Initial glute activation is essential for stabilizing the hip beneath the pelvis without creating excessive shear or compensatory movement patterns. When the glutes fire appropriately, they help maintain pelvic control and allow the hip joint to accept load efficiently.

Joint approximation plays a key role by increasing sensory input to the joint, which helps activate and co-contract the muscles surrounding the hip. This coordinated activation creates stability through proper joint centration before movement begins.

Exercises like a pull-to-stand with joint approximation replicate early developmental loading patterns, teaching the nervous system how to activate the glutes during initial weight acceptance. This improves feed-forward control, movement quality, and hip-pelvic stability—reducing reliance on compensations during daily and athletic activities.

When you pause and breathe more deeply, your nervous system can shift out of fight-or-flight, giving both your muscles and mind a chance to recover and reset. Intentional breathing supports relaxation, improves movement quality, and helps your body respond to stress more efficiently—both physically and mentally.

Sinus pressure and nasal congestion can do more than make breathing uncomfortable — they can create tightness within the fascia and dural system inside the cranium, contributing to headaches, facial pain, and a sense of pressure.

When tissues in the head become restricted, normal fluid movement and subtle cranial motion can be affected, increasing discomfort. This relationship can also work in reverse: restrictions within the cranial system may worsen sinus drainage and congestion.

Using the Cranial Series from the , we gently encourage movement in restricted areas of the cranium to help decrease pressure. Restoring balance and mobility to these structures can support improved sinus function, reduce tension, and relieve headache and pressure symptoms.

In today’s in-service, we worked on manual treatment of the stomach.

When the stomach becomes elevated, restricted, or inflamed, it can contribute to symptoms such as reflux, nausea, headaches, dizziness, or even back pain. These symptoms often show up far from the source, making them easy to overlook.

Gentle manual release of the stomach, surrounding fascia, and the nearby rib cage and diaphragm can help reduce tension, ease symptoms, improve breathing mechanics, and calm the nervous system. Subtle work here can have a powerful whole-body effect.
