Try these cues to fire up your pigeon pose 🔥

It’s a fun (and pretty challenging) way to add some mobility into a class / practice.

Another way to cue the legs could be to try to “drag” the front knee back and the back leg forward without actually moving them (an isometric contraction).

I often like to cue this approach to pigeon to feel the 🔥 before easing into a more passive, relaxed variation of the shape.

Try it for yourself or with your students and let me know how it feels 👇

With love,
Daisy Jane

P.S Questionable song choice I know. The nostalgia of shouting ‘this sh!t is bananas’ at full blast got me 😂

I love this approach to teaching. Learn a little bit of vocabulary together, and then take time for a ‘closed improvisation’ where the invitation is to explore using the vocabulary learnt, to play with transitions, speed, dynamics . To make it your own without loosing the task at hand (it’s not any / all / ‘free’ movement)

Do you enjoy learning like this ?

‘Cat-cow’ is a great way to warm up the spine- but why limit them to table top?

Adding spinal flexion and extension to different shapes is a great way to introduce variety, add novelty and explore how different shapes create different challenges and dynamics , whilst developing greater body awareness and control.

Here are some ideas of places to play with this.

Remember, not every position will create a dramatic looking ‘cat-cow’. Sometimes the movement is subtle, but the intention remains the same. Focus on the quality of the movement, rather than how ‘big’ it looks.

Let me know what other poses you try this in 👇

Much love,
Daisy Jane

As far as I know - we get one of these incredible, wise and adaptable human bodies.
Remember to explore it, move it, love it, honour it, appreciate it.

Movement is life. Whichever way you look at it. We are made to move.

How? Now there is a big question. I’m not here to tell you this way is the way. Nor do I believe one method, protocol or path could ever be for for everyone.

What I do believe is that for the most part, it isn’t about finding the ‘perfect’ routine you will do when you finally have the time or space - it’s about incorporating more variety of movement back into your daily life.

I believe it is what we do (not what we say we are going to do, or talk about) that counts.

So if its 5 minutes, 10 minutes, in your kitchen, with your baby in your arms, in your bedroom, in your pijamas, in your work clothes. Then that’s where it’s at.

Get up, get moving.
Have fun. Be kind.

If you want to watch the full follow-along 10 minute practice - comment MOVE below and I’ll send you the link to it.

Big love,

Spinal explorations • investigating head / pelvis initiating and leading movement - looking for fluid and organic pathways through the body.

Here I am trying to focus on being honest with what part of me is really initiating, noticing if I am anticipating / deciding to make something specific happen or really allowing the movement to travel organically, and also paying attention to the sticky places and pathways 🌀
