ENHANCE. IMPROVE.
The content below is offered as a way to maximize your mobility self-care.
The resting postures below are designed to create mobility in the toes, feet, ankles, knees, and hips.
Getting mobility back into these areas will benefit and enhance your daily movement, like bending, squatting, walking, running. In addition, it will help you get the most out of doing the Phi Body System because the increased subtleness and pliability will have a positive effect on up the body.
TIPS:
Do a little bit in each position, throughout your day, every day.
Work up to at least a minimum time of 2 (two) minutes in each position. Use a timer on your phone.
Take long deep breaths.
Resting in these postures should grow increasingly more comfortable and adaptable.
Try gentle “rocking” or “pulsing” or “pumping” your body while in these shapes. Finding and feeling a rhythm helps the body relax into the tight spaces.
Do these positions after a workout, walk or physical activity that warms up your body.
Do these after a hot bath/shower or sauna session.
Think “outside the box”: Our Western living and working culture places emphasis on sitting in chairs and sofas. Try mixing it up and get on the floor. Incorporating low lying tables, mats and bolsters can be comfortable way to get work done, read, check emails etc. Here you have the opportunity to get things done, while also doing good things for your body!
