A yoga flow to open your chest & midback during pregnancy by Dr. Hailey Jackson
The female body is truly amazing when it comes to growing and expanding to create life. But with these postural changes come compensations in other parts of the body. Three specific changes I have noticed include thoracic kyphosis (hunched posture) due to more body mass in the front, forward head posture due to center of gravity changes, and hip external rotation to widen my base of support. I have also had a tendency to clench my glutes to stabilize. I am working on being more aware of that because I know the downstream effects that can cause.

Don’t Bump the Furniture by Dr. Juan Harrison
Alan Jackson used to sing a song that said it’s alright to be little bitty. Most of us didn’t have much problem with that idea when we first married. Everything was little bitty except our love for one another. One day I was looking around our house after almost 50 years of marriage feeling a little claustrophobic. In recent years my wife’s preschool took over my Gunsmoke watching room. Her school room takes up every inch of the den and has oozed out, threatening to take over the adjoining little dining room. My office has almost been backed into a corner as her backpacks, lunch kits, seasonal decorations cast a buzzard’s shadow greedily looking at my cluttered desk and file cabinet like that little old boll weevil just looking for a home.
