  6. Inner Destinations • Disclaimer: Check with medical professional before beginning this or any exercise program • Carol’ recommendations: • Step out the door and get out for a walk • Get out into Nature – the Great Outdoors • Having a gathering? • Before the guests arrive, block out 40 peaceful minutes for YOU! • Breathe more deeply and be conscious of it, M • More oxygen to brain • Stand up tall, head reaching for the sky

  7. Inner Destinations Carol’ recommendations: • On each exhale, tighten your core muscles • Abdominals contract • Pelvic floor muscles lift • Sitzbones draw closer together • Bottom of pelvis

  8. Inner Destinations • Bodies are meant to move! • Remember, we are designed for movement • Stretching up to pick apples • Bending to pick them up off the ground • Running to hunt game • Hunkering and squatting around a fire to cook

  9. Inner Destinations • Feel where your spine is in space – • Where it is in our bodies • Become aware of how important your spine is- • Even while you’re sitting

  10. Inner Destinations • If you have any back pain, don’t do this exercise – check with your doctor first • Benefits: More oxygen, Avoid pain, Avoid headaches, Lighten mood • Seated, picture the position of your spine • Feet flat on floor, quadriceps (thighs) parallel to floor

  11. Inner Destinations • Sitting on your sitz bones: • (bony landmarks at base of pelvis) • First, making small moves, tilt or rock pelvis slightly forward (sitz bones pointbackward) • Then tilt pelvis back (sitz bones tucked under & forward) • Return to the center, sitting on your sitz bones. • You may have felt a mild stretch at your low back

  12. Inner Destinations • We sit too much in our cars, at our desks – • This can result in back, shoulder & neck pain and potential headaches • What’s the solution?

  13. Inner Destinations • Try some standing activities: • Get up from sitting at your desk every 30 minutes - use a timer • No need to lose productivity – sort files or mail – do standing tasks • Talk on phone with a headset that allows you to stand, which relieves neck tension • Walk around the office or even just around your chair

  14. Inner Destinations • The Power of Posture and Emotions • With respect to our families: • Carol in her family kitchen • Father & son • Awareness of our emotional state and our posture The Elephant Man • Analogy of how we can shift our posture

  15. Inner Destinations • In emotional pain? • Alone during holidays, • Judy: Myfirst Christmas during my divorce, I took action and moved – • Go out for a hike, even just lift your UB off your LB • Lifts mood, breathe better, focus outward rather than inward, feel stronger, more at peace

  16. Inner Destinations • Bonus tip: SMILE! • Did you know there’s a connection between the tension in our jaw and the tension in our hips? Smiling releases the ‘kinks’ and helps prevent tight shoulder and tension headaches!
