Let go of sadness
I’ve been feeling some sadness the past couple of days and I could feel the tension building up in my lungs. It feels heavy and tight and can almost make it hard to breathe. This move paired with breath has been a lifesaver for moving the sadness through my body so it doesn’t consume my day. You can repeat for about a minute or longer (just keep any eye on the breath so you don’t get lightheaded) #chinesemedicine #movement #movementmedicine #qigong #qigongforhealth #griefsupport #movewithpurpose #emotionalhealing #emotionalwellbeing

Low back & pelvic floor release
This is an incredible restorative stretch to do after a long day of all things mothering, baby wearing, nursing, or working at the desk. This stretch helps relieve the lower back and well as relax your pelvic floor if you suffer from a tight pelvic floor. As I’ve shared before the pelvic floor is very much connected to the vagus nerve. If our nervous system is dysregulated, if we are stressed and sleeping poorly this can cause tension in the body as well as our pelvic floor. This relaxing, restorative stretch activates the parasympathetic nervous system, encourages long deep breathing which tells our vagus nerve is safe to relax and in turn our pelvic floor also! It also supports our lymphatic and glymphatic systems, relieves pain and tension in the legs and feet. It’s just a yummy
