The blog of Jennifer's Mindful thoughts

Don't Squeeze the Abs! Please!

6/19/2024

Often in yoga classes and fitness classes you hear the instructors say these cues:
  • draw your belly button to your spine
  • pull the belly in 
  • engage your bandhas by pulling your navel to your spine
  • engage your abs
And you should ignore these cues!!!!
They are not helpful in creating stability and can even create back pain or even worse incontinence!

    Jennifer has helped countless students move out of pain using the Critical Alignment method. She would like students to walk away from her classes with a smile on their faces and a new awareness in their bodies. She hopes that they feel a strong connection to the Light in their heart and have created stillness of the mind.
