Yoga with Nadine

Are yoga teachers shift workers?

Nadine (@YogawithNadine) — Thu, 02 May 2013 07:01:02 +0000

There has been a fair amount of research to show that shift workers suffer similar symptoms – and endocrine changes – to patients with chronic fatigue syndrome. I’ve been interested in this for a while. Since, in fact, I started to suffer from symptoms that looked a lot like chronic fatigue. I couldn’t figure it [...]

Understanding the Pelvis in Posture

Nadine (@YogawithNadine) — Wed, 20 Mar 2013 22:09:05 +0000

So I talk about sacroiliac joints loads in this blog. Largely because you ask loads of questions! If you are in Melbourne, and you want to learn more in person, perhaps you can join me for a workshop on 21 April to learn about the pelvis,the SI Joints, and stability? It will change EVERYTHING.

Warrior 1 and your SI Joints.

Nadine (@YogawithNadine) — Wed, 13 Mar 2013 20:00:25 +0000

I had a question from a reader the other day. Yes, you may be noticing a theme lately in that all my blog posts are answers to questions I figure it’s really a rather solid idea to give people info they are interested in, rather than random stuff I think you might like. That’d be [...]

Setting an appropriate yoga teacher-student relationship.

Nadine (@YogawithNadine) — Tue, 26 Feb 2013 21:06:15 +0000

I had an email from a reader called Chris the other day. He was wondering what the bounds of an appropriate teacher-student relationship might be. He’s also given me permission to publish our conversation: I am new to yoga, but does one have to be spiritually inclined to be a yogi? I am an atheist, [...]

How do you know if it’s SI Joint pain & will yoga help?

Nadine (@YogawithNadine) — Wed, 13 Feb 2013 19:00:15 +0000

This blog post is in answer to a question from a reader, Shinaz. I’ve excerpted bits of our email correspondence for you, with her permission. Hi Nadine. I read something that you wrote about yoga being bad long term for people with SIJ problems. I have suffered a lot with that since the birth of [...]

Yoga & Anatomy Visualization [VIDEO]

Nadine (@YogawithNadine) — Mon, 11 Feb 2013 21:30:13 +0000

This video is from Bethania Bacigalupe. She’s wearing muscle leggings from Aussie company Black Milk Clothing. They also do leg bones. V cool. You can see how the muscles would move under the skin – obviously, the leggings are not stretching and contracting as our muscles actually do, but this is the best visualisation you [...]

2nd Feb giveaway: awesome Brokebot print!

Aldo Jeffrey is a Phoenix, AZ fine artist and video game creator (what a combo!). It might explain why I like his stuff so much. It has an element of storytelling in the visuals, and he creates more provenance by actually teling you the story of how each piece came to be. He produces his [...]

Melissa Ambrosini talks self-love

Nadine (@YogawithNadine) — Wed, 06 Feb 2013 21:00:36 +0000

I will be joining Michelle McGrath and Melissa Ambrosini for a Day of Self Love in Sydney on March 24 – if you’d like to join us too (go on you know you would) booking details are here. Mel was kind enough to do a little interview with me, sharing her story – read on! [...]

Do something today your future self will thank you for. (Plus a giveaway)

Nadine (@YogawithNadine) — Tue, 29 Jan 2013 19:00:58 +0000

The other day, I was having a conversation with a group of students – all wonderful, empowered women. I really admired their honesty when they told me that – almost to a one – they’d not started making any real provision for their retirement yet. One half joked that she was hoping some kind relative [...]

Squat to save your knees.

Nadine (@YogawithNadine) — Tue, 22 Jan 2013 20:00:34 +0000

It’s true. Squatting can actually make your knees SAFER and STRONGER. Your hip joints too. And your upper back, and your digestion… I stole this from the crossfit people, because it’s funny: Read the full article on the awesomeness of squats over at mm…Yoga! today.
