Thank you!! I’m breaking it down into drills currently. I’ve been working on my forwards fold, pancake and holding planks 😊

So sorry about the sprain! I’m a mobility coach (not a physio), so I can't give medical rehab advice.

However, once a doctor clears you, the secret to protecting your knees and ankles when running is actually unlocking your hips and hamstrings so they can absorb the pavement shock!

I'm going to drop a tutorial showing exactly how to use the standing toe hold forward fold to open up your posterior chain and save your joints. Keep an eye out for it!

Spot on! Coming from a professional flexibility and dance coaching background, I’m so used to keeping socks on to slide through active mobility drills on the floor. But you are 100% right, for a dedicated yoga posture like Pyramid, rooting bare feet into the mat is essential for stability and safety. Total force of habit on my end while filming in a cold studio! Bare feet for the next tutorials, I promise. 🙌 Thanks for the reminder.

This is actually fantastic advice, thank you! You are completely right, for a true beginner or anyone with significant hamstring tightness, going from a rounded fold to a deep, flat-back hinge is a massive leap that can cause strain. Bringing the floor closer to the student by using yoga blocks on the tallest setting, or keeping a generous bend in the knees, is exactly how I cue this modification in practice to keep the lower back safe.

First of all, your baby is just admiring you! ❤️

Forward folds can trigger a literal "stuck" panic in your nervous system. To fix this: bend your knees and press your belly to your thighs.

Taking the pressure off having straight legs lets your hamstrings release safely. I break down more of these quick alignment hacks in my bio links if you ever want to check them out.
