Movement essential for humans who sit in chairs too much ⤵️
Our hips often feel ’tight’ when really our hip muscles are weak and underused. I’m not saying you should never stretch, but because mobility exercises help you use and strengthen your muscles at their end ranges, they can be a real game changer for stiff, aching hips. Here I’m showing one of my favourite hip mobility options from @movnat - the best part is you’re also getting great loads for your core, ribcage & shoulders here too (and it feels amazing) - do 3-5 each side, 1-3x, slowly, as a movement break or a warm up. So nice! Share this with your friend who’s always looking for a new hip stretch - and be sure to subscribe to my movement newsletter for more essential mobility & movement tips to help your whole body feel better & work better! 😘🔗
Telling Stories Through Marks & Stitches
Mark making with holes and stitches is a simple yet powerful way to add texture, depth, and interest to your art journal pages or collages. Whether it's delicate perforations, bold wild stitches, or a combination of both, these marks become tools for storytelling. They bring movement, emotion, and layers to your work, transforming the way you express your creativity. #mixedmedia #artjournal #stitches #creativity
