For my low back pain babes: stop sucking yourself in.
I know this sounds almost backwards because we’ve been taught that a “strong core” means belly tight, ribs down, pelvis tucked.
But your body isn’t a statue. It needs to breathe, bend, lift, walk, and respond to the world around you.
When you learn to keep space through the back of your ribs while letting your thigh bones move back, you can maintain the natural curves of your body instead of constantly compressing yourself into one rigid shape.
And that little distinction can change how you approach everything from picking up your laundry to lifting weights.
Here’s your heads up: next month’s theme inside REVIVAL is “your back hurts”, so now’s the time to start building your foundation for it. This is exactly the kind of foundational work we’ll be diving deep into, practicing how to build strength while learning to move in a way that keeps you open.

If you’ve ever been told to pull your ribs down, suck your belly in, and brace your core harder, I want you to notice what happens when you live there.
You get smaller, shorter and more compressed. And your diaphragm, ribcage, spine, and pelvic floor all have to work within that smaller shape. I think this is one reason so many people can have a “strong core” and still feel like their body isn’t functioning the way they want it to.
And really, having a “stronger core” doesn’t make us any less likely to have back pain. I know, drop the mic. It also flattens are bum because it tucks out tail and makes using our glutes near impossible.
Real-life movement isn’t a pilates exercise with a perfectly timed inhale and exhale. You’re breathing while you walk, carry your groceries, pick up your kids, lift weights, and live your life.
I want you to learn how to create support without losing your ability to breathe and move.

You have been taught to be afraid of an anterior pelvic tilt, so much so that many people spend their entire day tucking their pelvis and sucking their belly back.
But your body is not meant to be in this rigid, flat position.
When your thigh bones can move back, your bum can lift, your pelvic floor can have space, and your ribcage can lift up off your pelvis, your digestive system can literally function better.
This is very different from just cranking into your a deep curve in your low back aka why anterior pelvic tilt has a bad rep.
I want us to stop being so terrified of the natural curves of the human body. You do not need to flatten yourself out to be healthy.

Here’s where I think we get ourselves into trouble: we keep adding exercises when what we actually need is to understand how to use the back of our body in the movements we’re already doing.
Your feet, calves, hamstrings, and bum are part of one connected system. If your thigh bones are forward and you’re living on the front of your body, doing more hip thrusts isn’t necessarily going to teach you how to use that back chain differently.
Start with the way you stand, walk, sit, and reach. Learn to get your bum behind you and let the back of your body participate in how you move through space. Then the strength work has somewhere useful to go.
That’s the kind of movement I teach inside REVIVAL. Comment REVIVAL and I’ll send you the link.

If you’re constantly compressing through your ribcage, pelvis, and belly, your mouth doesn’t exist separately from that pattern. It’s part of the same web.
This is one reason I don’t want to look at a narrow palate or a tongue that doesn’t seem to fit as an isolated problem. I want to understand what the rest of the body is doing to support it.
That doesn’t mean palate expansion or other interventions are “bad.” It means I want to look at the whole picture, not just push one area wider and call it done. I do find it sadly ironic that palate expanders teach you to NOT keep your tongue on the roof of your mouth — you natural expansion mechanism!
This is a huge mission piece of the clenching issue, too! I didn’t clench until I got an expander on the roof of my mouth (which I pried out as a little kid because it was so uncomfortable on my tongue). That had trained me to not keep my tongue suctioned to the roof of my mouth because there was metal in the way and guess who started down a journey of life altering clenching after that? Me.
If you’re ready to understand these deeper patterns, comment REVIVAL and I’ll send you the link to join me inside my movement membership. You will start laying the foundation in the rest of your body so when we do airway and tongue month in October, you’re more ready to change.

f you spend your day at a computer, your body can get very good at organizing itself around that position. And then we wonder why an hour of stretching or a massage only gives us temporary relief.
The part that changed things for me was realizing I didn’t need to make my body smaller to create better posture. I needed to learn how to create more space.
Your ribcage can expand in every direction. Your shoulder blades can stay wide. Your front and back can both have length at the same time. That gives your body a very different place to organize from.
And this is why I care so much about changing the pattern underneath instead of constantly chasing the tight spot.

Temporary relief is wonderful. Lasting change is even better.
I don’t want to give my body five minutes of relief. I want to teach it a pattern it doesn’t need relief from.
In a traditional side stretch, usually people just move from their waist & low back — which already moves too much! Instead, work on moving from each joint of your ribcage. And keep healthy curves in your low back and neck while you’re at it!

If you’ve been waiting for life to calm down before you finally take care of your body, let the hawk be your sign.
There is no magical season when you’ll suddenly have endless time. I know because I waited too.
For me, the relief never lasted because I was trying to change my body without changing the pattern underneath. I eventually had to completely rethink how I trained so I could keep building strength while allowing my body to heal. That became the foundation for REVIVAL.
REVIVAL is officially LIVE.
You’ll get:
→ Physician-guided 10–40 minute workouts that build muscle while keeping you open
→ Cardio that energizes you instead of depleting you
→ Fascial work for the areas you’ve been babying for years
→ Nervous system practices to help your body feel safe enough to release
→ New workouts every month
→ Biweekly live Q&A and support with me
And because I believe in this work so much, your first month is free if you don’t feel a difference. The first 200 members also get $10 off their first three months.

You can take incredible care of yourself and still feel stuck in your body.
I’ve learned that nutrition, sleep, time outside, movement... they’re all important. But sometimes there’s a deeper layer we’re not addressing: the patterns your body is practicing every single day. That’s what I wanted REVIVAL to help with.
Not another workout that leaves you tighter. Not another program where you have to choose between strength and mobility. A place to learn how to build muscle, create space, and understand your body along the way.
This is for the women and men who know there’s more vitality available to them and are ready to feel it.

I don’t think the answer to every problem should be another thing you take.
And to be clear, I’m not anti-peptide or anti-medication. There are absolutely times when those tools are appropriate.
But I think we’ve forgotten how powerful it can be to actually learn how to use your body.
Your muscles, bones, breath, fascia, and posture are not separate systems. They are constantly talking to each other. When you learn how to move and load your body differently, you can start changing the patterns underneath instead of spending your life chasing the symptom.
That’s why I created REVIVAL. I want to teach you how to build muscle, move well, and understand your body deeply enough that you aren’t completely dependent on someone else telling you what to do.

I built the thing I desperately wished existed when I was struggling with my own body.
I wanted to get stronger without losing the openness and spring I was working so hard to create.
For me, that meant letting go of some of the training I thought I had to do and completely rethinking what strength could feel like. I didn’t want another workout that left me tighter and calling it progress.
I wanted strength that supported my posture. Movement that gave my fascia the code it needed to heal. Cardio that didn’t leave me depleted. And a place where I could keep learning instead of constantly starting over.
So I built REVIVAL.
New workouts every month, biweekly live support from me, and 10–40 minute practices designed to help you become stronger without abandoning the body you’re trying to create.

I have a hypothesis that we’ve become afraid of one of the healthiest shapes our body can make.
For years, I was taught that any curve in my low back meant I was doing something wrong. So I tucked my pelvis, squeezed my core, and tried to stand as “neutral” as possible.
Ironically, I felt less athletic... not more.
The body isn’t designed to be held rigidly in one position all day. It’s designed to have spring, adaptability, and space. That’s why I’m much more interested in helping people create a body that can distribute load beautifully than one that simply looks “correct.”

Your posture might be doing more for your face than your skincare routine (or even what botox could do for you).
That was definitely true for me.
When I started changing my fascial patterns, it changed the tightness and the shape of my face, too. Not because I did anything specific to my face, but simply by working on the health of the rest of my body.
Botox is temporary. It can paralyze tissue for a short period. or you can repattern the patterns that shaped that area saggy or wrinkly in the first place.

I thought I would always have chipmunk cheeks that were tight from clenching my jaw.
I used to try and rub them out, practice relaxing them, do jaw relieving exercises. But nothing ever changed my pain and facial shape until I learned how to change my posture.
Your face is a reflection of what’s going on below it in your body. Change your posture, change your face.
Nothing changed overnight. It was the little things I practiced every day: letting my ribs expand, breathing without gripping my core, allowing my pelvis to find a healthier position, and finally sitting in a way that didn’t require me to brace against a chair.
The bonus I never expected? I didn’t just feel better physically. I felt lighter, happier, and so much more creative. This work changed far more than my posture.

It’s wild to look back on how I used to hold myself. Sure I was strong but I was constantly tight and uncomfortable. Now it’s no wonder why 🫣🤣
I’ve been working on this e book for what feels like forever (slight perfectionist 🙃). But I knew it had the power to really help you understand why what I’m saying is true. It goes into the top 5 things you need to understand to undo a lifetime of bad posture — pelvic posture, core work, ribcage expansion, hand & foot use and how that reshapes the head all on it’s own.
When it starts to open your life, share with your friends & fam. Our world needs to know the principles of how our bodies were made to work and heal.

I wish we talked about the pelvic floor as part of the whole body instead of treating it like its own little department.
One of the biggest things I’ve learned is that your pelvic floor doesn’t work alone. It’s constantly responding to what’s happening above it and below it. That’s why I’m always looking at someone’s feet, hips, rib cage, and breath, not just the pelvis itself.
I know it can feel discouraging when you’ve been doing all the “right” pelvic floor exercises without the results you hoped for. But sometimes the body isn’t asking for more effort. It’s asking for a better relationship between all of its parts.
That’s where this work gets really exciting.

Your body teaches your kids. I don’t think children need perfect parents. I think they need parents who are curious about their own bodies.
One of my favorite things about this work is that when you begin changing your own movement patterns, everyone around you starts seeing another possibility. Your kids watch how you sit, how you stand, how you breathe, and how you move through the world long before they understand why.
We often think teaching happens through instruction. I think some of the most powerful teaching happens through embodiment.

I spent years trying to “fix” my posture... and honestly, I think I was fighting my own body.
Every time someone told me to tuck my pelvis or flatten my low back, I’d lose the springiness that made movement feel good. It wasn’t until I started looking at my body as a connected fascial web that things finally began making sense.
I’ve learned to be cautious of blanket posture rules. Bodies are wonderfully nuanced, and two people can look similar while needing completely different things. That’s why I spend so much time teaching people to understand their pattern instead of chasing a perfect posture shape.

I wish more people looked at their feet at the beginning of their posture.
Your feet are having a conversation with the rest of your body every time you stand, walk, or breathe.
When I started paying attention to my own feet, I realized they weren’t just carrying me around. They were constantly sending information up through my knees, hips, spine, and neck. The body is always adapting from the ground up.
That’s why I get so excited about helping people build stronger, more responsive feet. They’re not just about avoiding foot pain, they’re part of the foundation for your entire fascial web.

If your jaw always tightens back up... there’s probably a reason.
I don’t think your body enjoys being tense.
I think it’s trying to solve a problem.
That’s why I’m much more interested in understanding why your jaw feels like it has to grip than I am in forcing it to relax. When your body finds a more supportive pattern, it often stops asking your jaw to do so much extra work.
Your symptoms are often messages, not mistakes. The more I study fascia, the more that idea continues to amaze me.

The first photo was one of the first bowspring classes I ever took and I remember feeling like my pelvic floor was so open 🤣 look at me now!
I wasn’t born like this! I worked to REPATTERN myself open. And you can join me in healing our bodies back into the curves they were made to have!
I know there will be some of y’all that come at me in the comments like I haven’t had thousands of hours of biomechanics training that told me an anterior pelvic tilt was bad.
Here’s the thing — they were wrong.
Some anterior pelvic tilts are bad (when your ribs are collapsed and you’re tightening your back muscles to get there). But a healthy anterior pelvic tilt is life giving and is seen is every great athlete out there…
I would have bet my career on the neutral pelvis I was taught though, so I get your hesitancy! But open your mind and your pelvic floor, and you’ll never look back.

What if your tight neck isn’t asking to be stretched?
I know... that’s not the answer most of us were taught.
I used to chase temporary relief because that’s all I knew. But the lasting changes happened when I stopped focusing on the symptom and started improving how my whole body shared the work. My neck wasn’t the problem. It was the messenger.
This work still blows my mind because the smallest changes in one area can completely change how another part of the body feels.

Because if I only tell you how many reps to do, you’ll always need someone else to tell you what comes next.
My favorite part of teaching isn’t giving people another exercise. It’s watching the moment they understand why something works. That’s when they stop chasing fixes and start making decisions based on how their own body feels.

What if the goal isn’t to have more visible collarbones?
For the longest time, I thought that look meant I was doing something right. But my neck was constantly tight, my shoulders felt heavy, and my jaw was always working overtime.
Now I’m much less interested in how posture looks and much more interested in how it feels.
I want my body to feel soft, supported, and springy, not held together by tension. That’s one of the reasons I love teaching fascia. It shifts the conversation away from appearance and back toward function. Ironically, that’s usually when posture starts looking beautiful too.

Inspired by my teeth cleaning this morning 😜
Comment REPATTERN for the class that is transforming hundreds of peoples jaw, airway and palate from the bottom up.
If you can’t get the tongue suction because your palate is too narrow, you desperately need the class. Because you’re narrow.
Not just in your palate but everywhere.
Because like how a tree can only get as wide as its roots, your palate can only get as wide as your hips & ribs.
Unless your force it open, which again like a tree, makes the system more prone to imbalance and weakness in the storms of life.

I think we’ve been taught to see posture as something local... your neck, your shoulders, your upper back. But I have a hypothesis that posture is really an expression of how your entire connected web is organizing itself. That’s why working on one tight area rarely creates lasting change.
When your ribs learn to move differently, they’re not working in isolation. They’re communicating with your spine, your pelvis, your breath, and the rest of your fascial fabric. That’s why such a small daily practice can feel surprisingly profound over time.

You spend about a third of your life sleeping... so your sleeping position is teaching your body something.
If you wake up feeling stiff in the same places every morning, get curious. It might not be your mattress. It might not even be that you “slept wrong.” Sometimes it’s simply that your body has spent years repeating the same pattern without another option.

If you’ve ever crossed your legs before a sneeze or laughed while secretly hoping for the best... this one’s for you.
Can we normalize talking about this?
So many women have been told leaking is just part of getting older or having babies. While there can be many reasons this happens, I’ve found that we often overlook how the whole body works together. One of the biggest concepts I teach is that a compressed rib cage can increase pressure on the pelvic floor. Instead of only focusing on tightening the pelvic floor, we can learn how to offload it at the root by changing the way the whole body organizes itself. That’s why I love helping people understand how the rib cage, breath, and fascial web all support one another.

Your dentist’s mouth guard is not a TMJ treatment, and I will die on this hill.
It protects your teeth. That’s real and worth doing. But it does not touch the reason you’re clenching, and I have a hypothesis that it can actually increase the grinding because your nervous system is now working against a new obstacle.
What blew my mind when I finally started understanding fascial patterning: clenching is often a breathing strategy. The front of the body collapses, the airway narrows, and the jaw grips to compensate. So telling someone to “manage stress” or quit coffee (F, by the way, I tried it, I was miserable, it changed nothing) is like telling someone with a broken leg to walk it off. You’re not talking to the pattern.
The pattern lives in the whole body, not the jaw. Comment REPATTERN to start understanding yours.

I was the person who clenched without realizing it. My traps (upper shoulders) were always working overtime, and I assumed I just needed more massage, more stretching, or another tool. None of it lasted because I was trying to quiet one part of my body while the rest of my fascial pattern stayed exactly the same.
We don’t realize how often we are holding our head. When the chin is dropped and tucked, the jaw compresses and everything tightens. For this to really heal you, you also need a curve in your low back (nothing in your body works in isolation).

Our quality of sleep changes the quality of our lives.
Instead of scrunching yourself up when you sleep, pull yourself long. If you imagine your airway like a fabric straw. You’re pulling it open and long so you can get better air all night! This can be life changer is you’re living with mild sleep apnea or teeth grinding!
The principals are this
- Pull your ribcage away form your pelvis
- Open belly and throat by a curve in your back and neck
- Small pillow
- Tongue to roof of mouth (it will fit better and want to stay there with these cues)
We are looking into mattress options and I’m thinking about making a guide for y’all. Would that be helpful? Tell me below!

For my jaw clenching loves, I need you to hear the part that actually matters.
Your jaw isn’t the problem. That’s the piece that took me way too long to understand. I chased my jaw pain for years with the exact thing we all get told to do, tuck the chin, flatten the neck, sit up “straight,” and it never worked because the tension was never local. The front of my body was tight and shut, the back was long and weak, and my jaw was just the loudest place that pattern showed up.
Here’s the reframe: a tucked chin doesn’t relax your jaw, it shortens it and shrinks your airway so you’re literally breathing worse all day. And let’s be honest, it doesn’t even look good. Tucking your chin compresses everything at the front of your throat, makes your jawline look smaller, and gives you a double chin. That’s not posture, that’s collapse. Your jaw can’t rest inside a body that’s braced.
I have a hypothesis that most clenching isn’t a bite issue at all. It’s the whole front of you asking for space. Give the throat and belly room and the jaw finally stops holding on.

I seriously thought that achy knot between my shoulder blades was just mine to keep forever.
The “good posture” everyone teaches, squeezing your shoulder blades back and down, feels like it’s helping because your chest opens. But you’ve just signed your whole back up to be tight all day. That’s why the sore spot creeps up into your neck and never lets go. You’re bracing, not opening.
What changed everything for me was realizing my ribcage was collapsed, not my back being weak. When the front of you stays compressed, that pressure doesn’t disappear. It travels. I have a hypothesis that this is exactly why my jaw and even my pelvic floor stayed tight for years, all of it downstream of a caved-in chest I didn’t know I was holding.
You are one connected web, so when you fix the ribs and things you never linked to your posture start to soften.

Yes, rocks/ weights will be included sometimes! But know I spent months not moving weight so I could change how I was moving in the first place. My class REPATTERN walks you through how to do that.
And now, I feel supple and flexible without stretching and so strong and I can hike and hike.
Back in my home of the Sierras, celebrating this wild country and peak of summer! The most exciting thing of our lives just happened so stay tuned for our next chapter!
Love y’all so!

The form cues underneath what is taught in “exercises” is the difference between someone that can do any workout without pain and get fit or someone who gets hurts doing anything. The difference between someone who can bag any peak without training and have little soreness or not be able to hike without pain. Or someone who excels at a sport they have never tried versus feeling uncoordinated and fragile.
Our bodies have a code of alignment that makes us strong and able. This code isn’t a list of exercises from your PT or trainer. It is the way you hold your ribs, the tone in your palms and soles, the way you use your core.
If you’re ready to learn how to use yourself, comment REPATTERN for my class.
Happy holiday weekend y’all! Hope you get outside with the people you love!

Our butt is our powerhouse, our motor. When you aren’t able to use it because of the fascial patterning you’re holding, things start to hurt — knees, feet, hips and low back.
There’s no isolated exercises that will bring back your connection to your butt. It is deeper but also simpler than that. It’s about the connection to your taco foot and your thigh bone sitting back so you’re in what looks like an anterior pelvic tilt.
Comment REPATTERN and I’ll teach you how in my signature class that’s changing lives.
All my love,

Comment REPATTERN for the link to virtual class that teaches you the foundations of how your fascia is made to be. This work still blows my mind. I spent so much time stretching, doing release fascia work, massaging, and doing exercises that didn’t really work. Now, with the code of how the fabric fascia of the whole system should be lying — I have a whole new body… sounds dramatic but this is why I encourage people to take lots of pictures before they start my class. I honestly wish I took so many more of myself because the change is stark. All my love! Dr. Lily #foothealth #bunion #bunionrelief #bowspring
We are now in an air b and b where there’s only one comforter and all I want is to sleep on the floor again!!! It’s so weird how firm ground feels like it helps me heal instead of get tighter while sleeping… I know I would have never thought this could be real for me but now that my fascia is more balanced, I’m more like a cat that can sleep on a rock lol. Except for airplanes. I usually can sleep hard with my sheepskin but somehow always wake up with some weird kink. #goals #bowspring
People pay me a lot of money to show them this. Because we all need it more than we realize! I’m still getting better at keeping the fascia over my kidneys and my adrenals lifted. But this has transformed that part of my body which always felt tight.
This area is where your kidneys and adrenals live. I have a hypothesis that at least some of our “adrenal fatigue” is actually just so much fascial pressure on the adrenals that it distorts hormonal flow.
I know I feel and interact with stress so different now that my fascia is more balanced… your nervous system is inside your fascia!
If you want more detailed help, comment REPATTERN for my class. I have a free guide I wrote to understanding this concept that’s almost done, too. So stay tuned.
Love y’all!

Have you guys felt your bum lift up yet? 👇🏽👇🏽
I was always so confused by how to use my butt the right way when doing something like a squat. What you get told is to clench your butt at the top and that just never felt natural.
Turns out it isn’t. It just makes you a tight ass 😜
We think and teach that the glute only contracts with full hip extension, which when you look at the animals who are in deep hip flexion at all time, makes zero sense.
If you get the top of your thigh backwards, your glute can engage up to the rim of your pelvis instead of down to your sitz bone.
Isn’t it wild how my much my butt changes with just this action?!
Your taco feet play a role in this, too. Because we need to learn how to shorten the whole backside of our legs because the front is so tight it pulled it long. Which is why you struggle to feel your glutes in the first place.
Share with someone you know wants to grow their glutes for a healthy body!
Love y’all!
Dr. Lily

I seriously thought my traps (upper shoulders) would just never soften. Then I started doing bow and they would be soft when I laid down and I knew I was on the right track.
Then I learned this move from @desispringer and got my under shoulders to work. This made it so my traps actually can be soft. And you know what likes that? My neck and my jaw. The relief is indescribable.

I know the internet is full of scammers who aren’t good at anything other than making content. This is the thing I’m the worst at 🤣 as someone wrote today:
“The value of the class is indescribable. I don’t know how to say this that you will hear it and not think I’m lying. But the value of compared to anything else on the internet, the gym, an osteopath, or pysio is immeasurable. This work is completely life changing. I went from feeling fragile to taking long hikes again. I got my life back.”

My original title for this was “cues that are fucking your posture” but I went a lil more PG for y’all. But that’s the truth. I know because I lived it, too.
I’m working on a dissertation explanation of all of these, so stay tuned (can you work on a dissertation not in a PHD program? I joke with my husband — when we are retired I’m gonna go get a PHD or three lol)!
Helping you understand how to hold yourself so you can feel good in your body, feels like the most important work of my life. Because there’s so much incorrect info out there shaping us into pain. As someone commented recently, “I’ve got trust issues from influencers.” I could agree more, sister. ME TOO.

I needed to stop adding weight and start shaping myself into the health I wanted. And turns out my glutes can fire waaaaay harder when my fascia allows it then when I simply load them more.

Spent a lot time writing the most succinct way to respond to this one because in all honesty I could write a dissertation on this.

Your airway is a tube. If that tube is being collapsed by bunched up fascia, air can’t move through as easy. Then your body compensates — maybe with clenching, maybe with an open mouth, maybe with snoring.
Which kind of sleeper are you? And really, you’re gonna love around at night but having the option for length because of how you move during the day, is what is vitally important.
I rarely sleep with my arm under my head all night. I start there and then replace it with a tiny sweater and bring my arm in front of me (mostly because there’s always walls above beds lol).
I just had a client yesterday tell me that her watch is telling her she’s getting good rest for the first time ever, after 2 months in my course. It changed my life and I’d love to help you change yours 🫶🏼

Can we stop with the Diastasis recti protocols like hypopressives, core tightening and kegels? Every baby is born with DR and you’ll never see them doing anything like that to heal. We aren’t really healing ourselves, we are just temporarily tightening and torturing ourselves. Love y’all so much tag a sister who needs to see this.

If you have prolapse, usually somewhere else is too tight all the time and pushing things out of place. Kegels will not fix that. Otherwise, your pelvic floor is already too tight. Comment REPATTERN if you want to start to learn how to heal your core holistically from Ribcage to pelvic floor to your feet.

I still sometimes clench! I’m a human! But it is 2% compared to when I could only eat smoothies because the jaw pain was so bad. Here’s the basics, you need the tongue on the roof of your mouth or else you can breathe through your nose. You can’t get your tongue to stay up there if your fascial system is unbalanced. Now your mouth breathing, but your tongue gets in the way because it can’t stay where it was meant to so now your clenching to try to create a more rigid and open airway for you know, air. This isn’t a quick fix, but it’s the only real one I’ve found and man it really helps the rest of your body and life, too. Love y’all #bowspring #tmjpain #tmjdisorder #jawtension #tmd

I don’t do this every single time. There’s no need to be perfect, but sometimes doing it this weird way can be really relieving to our necks (which are often tight from moving too much while the ribs don’t move enough). This is always so funny to watch someone learn. Teach a friend and try not to laugh at yourselves 😜 if you ready to learn the details of healthy, mobile ribs, comment REPATTERN for the link to my class. #bowspring #neckhealth
Share this with a friend you know gets pain while driving! Open posture and a body that doesn’t hurt is partially about how you learn to hold yourself and partially about the spaces we let shape us. Car seats are one of my biggest pet peeves!! Since repatterning myself the mismatch between how I normally sit and how these seats force us to sit is honestly astounding. Comment REPATTERN to join the over 500 people already getting their posture transformed with my virtual class! I am so honored you all have invested your precious energy with me — it’s an honor.
Some ladies can just hit the progressive overload of weight and have it work (and I know y’all are gonna come at me if this was you 😜). For me, I needed to learn to use my hips differently. I couldn’t do this and lift any weight at first, but I would get more sore, more fatigued and look what came of it! Our muscles don’t care what the numbers are, it cares about 1) safety to recruit 2) amount of tone. I’m not doing yoga to get this, I’m engaging isometrically (but my muscle are in a lengthened position) really hard with really good alignment. #bowspring #glutegains #glutegrowth oh ya and I know this isn’t a huge ass, I don’t want that. I want to look like a tribal person with no pain in my back or pelvic floor. #glutegoals
It physically hurts me to see the reels that have tons of views about
— “tightening your core in this special way you never learned”
— “flattening your core”
— “proper core engagement” aka creating a shit ton of non functional tension at rest
— “strengthening your pelvic floor”
— “holding a blueberry in your vagina”
Here’s some general rules to know if you should try what the influencer tells you to do
1. Can you breathe while doing it? If the cue is to do something specific on your exhale with your core, how are you supposed to be able inhale? You have to be able to sustain whatever core control you have while carrying something and still getting oxygen… so…
2. Does it make your core come tighter into your spine? If so, you are displacing volume and that volume has to go somewhere. Either to your pelvic floor to the point where it can physically push the organs out of your body (I’m not kidding this is more common than you think) or crushes your digestive organs.
3. Can you have an open pelvic floor while doing it? If it makes you tuck your tail, that’s disarming the strongest spring in your body instantly.
4. Everyone has core muscles and if you don’t eat enough, you’ll see them real clearly. So don’t think that you need to follow everyone’s advice that has a nice looking core.
Eat breakfast and enroll in my class. The first module is all about understanding your core, pelvic floor and breath. Comment REPATTERN for the link.
Love y’all so much! Share this with a baddie mama you know! We need to change the normal ways women (&men) think they have to use their core, for the love of not peeing ourselves and living our best lives 🫶🏼🫶🏼🫶🏼

Healthy & unhealthy labels are the top are backwards 🫣Y’all love the walking stuff. Here’s a less exaggerated version of open postured walking. I do all the versions (even sometimes just unconsciously walking hard!). But I love being able to load my glutes while walking. The pinnacle of my class is opening your airway on your back (feels like a whole body orgasm, I said it) & healthy walking patterns. I’ll send it to you if you comment repattern below 🫶🏼🫶🏼 #bowspring #gait
My hypermobile brothers and sisters, I know what it’s like to feel tight and unstable at the same time. Our bodies are craving the code for the stability that makes us feel more open. I made my class because I want this for you. And yes, these applies to all bodies but ours are more sensitive. #hypermobilityspectrumdisorder #hypermobilityspectrumdisorder #hypermobility #hypermobile #bowspring
I don’t wake up with teeth clenched anymore. I breathe through my nose all night (unless allergies which decrease with more sunlight exposure). My face is getting prettier and more balanced. This is the kind of fascial shifts you can expect with my virtual class. To feel like you can breathe easy and be at home in your body. Your body or nervous system won’t relax if it can’t easily get air. You’ll always be in fight or flight. Your airway isn’t just in your mouth or throat, it’s the tube supported by your entire fascial system. Even if you do decide to get the palate expansion or tongue tie release or even Botox/ filler, your body still needs to hold it. Comment REPATTERN if you’re ready. #bowspring #airwayhealth #tmjtreatment
Why your low back hurts. Many people say, “Bowspring hurt my low back.” It’s means you’re making the curve by contracting your low back muscles. So you have to let go of the way it looks and learn to move your hips back and keep your ribs expanded. It looks similar but it a whole different thing! Getting to the end of the batch of reels I made, tell me below what you guys want to learn about next! And as always, when you’re ready to learn all these details for real (not from a reel lol) COMMENT REPATTERN for the link to my class 🫶🏼
I get more fatigued and muscle burn than squatting 145 pounds… this is learning how to create tensegrity where all your muscles are synergistically working around your joints and engaging long. This runs literal bioelectric current through your stuck fascia and unbinds it. You can see me here running so much current I am vibrating. Afterwards, you feel bouncy and vibrant and emotionally regulated. It’s how we were made to be. Join me in learning the basics so I can take you to the open, supple human you were made to be. COMMENT REPATTERN to learn. #bowspring
Ya I know it could still be bigger and if you’re looking for that huge ass I’m not your girl at this time but mad respect go get it sister! Hit up @bretcontreras1
I tried all the traditional glute bridges, banded monster walks, heavy weight lifting
And it helped a little forsure
But it would tighten my pelvic floor at the same time
Or make my back hurt
I needed healing of the foundational way I used my hips, core and pelvis… and putting a bigger engine in or doing fancy moves or loading more weight wasn’t helping
Some of us move perfect naturally, so we can just load more to grow muscle
For me, I needed to REPATTERN how to recruit my glutes before I loaded them
Otherwise I was just going to think living with chronic hip and pelvic floor pain was normal
If you’re like me comment REPATTERN and I’ll show you how, step by step in my virtual class
Hint it comes from your connection to your taco foot!
Also for the record, science is learning that your muscles don’t only grow in response to heavier loads but any high tension movement (Bowspring is eccentric muscle engagement against yourself on all sides of your joints, I’ll post a video of how hard I shake with contraction soon so you guys can see this isn’t fucking yoga) or changes in blood flow, can have massive muscle growing effects. Let alone that this type of repatterning work increases the neural connection to muscles so they are denser, more metabolically active and stronger for their size (think people who do martial arts & gymnasts).
Second for the record, I get real frustrated with people telling me I should hide my butt to be more professional. It is vitally important that we stop thinking human bodies are something that should be hidden. I don’t trust a doctor that won’t show me their butt to prove they walk their talk. And the world is overly sexualized because we hide bodies so when we see them, they seem sexual. It’s just a body! And I want to be apart of showing healthy, supple & natural bodies to the world. We need it! This is my professional stance!!

When I watch this I’m like it looks almost exactly the same! But that’s the point. Our fitness and health advice focuses on what it looks like, but my loves, you can make a shape in so many different ways. This is the deal with us being told anterior pelvic tilts are bad for us. If you do it badly, they are. But why would something that is natural for most people, babies and most animals be the wrong thing? I would not have believed me until I started to feel it. But now I see the anatomy in a new way — ie the shape of our spine is wedged and our hip socket is neutral when there’s a so called anterior pelvic tilt (my class explains that in detail and if you scroll back far enough there’s reel for it too). So now My back doesn’t hurt anymore. Not because I flattened it out but because I learned how the curves are made to be supported to be springy and healthy.

I specialize in pelvic floor disorders because I went to every PT, tried every modality and still had chronic pain and sex hurt — I knew I had to figure it out and help other women.
After years of helping my patients I made my class with the principals that work to teach you how your whole core system was designed to work. No it isn’t kegels. No it isn’t hypopressives.
Start with my class and book a 1:1 with me virtually. It will change your pelvic floor and therefore your life. Sounds dramatic but your pelvic floor is the physical power, sexual, and emotional center of our bodies.

Desi is way more than a bodyworker. She’s my mentor and friend and was curious enough to see movement in a new way to co create Bowspring. In her own words “I didn’t invent anything, I just uncovered nature’s way.”
When this code is respected, bodywork isn’t done to you it’s done with you creating the tone your body is asking for. It isn’t tight or hurting because it is dumb, it’s tight because the positions you spend time in require it to be. When you get out of those positions and create gentle muscular alignment and tone there, instead of having to torture yourself better, you open yourself better.
Don’t get me wrong, unwinding still hurts sometimes but it’s completely bliss to be repatterning the root of why it was tight in the first place instead of just bandaging it or softening it temporarily. Important to note that any kind of bodywork requires you to be taking good care of your body battery via sunshine, the ground and electrolytes/ minerals. It’s creating a window that you have to have the energy to keep open, or it can make you reflexively close more.
These principals have completely shifted the way I care for my patients and every section of my virtual class has self fascial release practices and how to create tone so they last (that you can also do to your fam and ask if they’ll do to you, start a trend 😜). Comment REPATTERN & I’ll send you the link.

I haven’t had the pleasure of being a mama yet, but my work has always centered around them. Because really, the world is centered around them. The lifelines of our families, the trend setters of our communities, the holders of what we all really need — motherly love. What I get to help mamas with most often is getting more springy so the load of being a lifeline doesn’t make them smaller but shine brighter. I get asked this all the time and yes, my class is made for moms of all stages.

My loves, the way we were taught to use our core isn’t serving us. We need the canister of our entire core system (Ribcage to pelvic floor) to have balanced tone and expansion, just like how a can full of coke can take a beating before it explodes, or how a piston works. If you are dealing with diastasis recti, pelvic floor issues, hip or low back pain, or you want to birth a baby vaginally or simply live with without wearing out your spine, you need to learn this. I’ve changed thousands of people’s life with this info & there’s many more because I didn’t make this up. This was learned by watching babies and nature do it, not your Pilates teacher. Comment REPATTERN for my class that spends the entire first module on breathing, bracing & core repatterning. Your nervous system, your digestive system, your fascia is asking you for this. All my love, Dr. Lily #bowspring #dnsrehabilitation #corehealth #pelvicfloortherapy
I am consistently amazed by how many people report less bloating and better digestion from my class, without changing their diet. I’m not saying all the possible digestive issues are going to be healed. What I am saying is that your organs do mechanical movement as part of digestion and if they are adhered down and surrounded by tight fascia, they don’t work as well. Learn how to balance the strength of your core and Ribcage and amazing shit happens (literally 😜). “In awe that so many years of bloating can simply have been something with my breathing/mechanics.

I get asked this question ALL THE TIME. Yes your flared ribs are showing you your posture could use some help. No you shouldn’t try to tighten your core to get them to come down. I can fix people’s flared ribs in minutes with understanding how the back ribs need to expand to bring balance. Which had systematic effects on low back, shoulder and neck pain, because your ribs are made to suspend the rest of your tissues. Try it right now and tell me how it feels below!!

When I say current, all I mean is the minerals that get moved to create action potentials. How many of you have tried my moves and couldn’t do it at first? That’s being unable to run the current because you’re bound down and haven’t practiced! When you can move more current, your capacity for healing expands, too. All my love, Dr. Lily #bowspring #nervoussystemhealth #nervoussystemcare #nervoussystemreset
Comment REPATTERN If you find yourself stretching your back over and over again, without lasting relief. Stretching releases feel good chemicals, even if it isn’t actually healing you. Low back pain doesn’t mean you should flatten out or stretch your spine into flexion! It means either your ribs are collapsed or your hips are sucked forward. Here I am repatterning my low back fascia with this move I learned recently from the ever genius @desispringer ! #bowspring #lowbackpainrelief #lowbackpainexercises #lowbackpainprevention #fascialrelease
Comment REPATTERN to get your fascia flowing current enough to connect with mama earth. If we are insulated, she’s calling us but it’s going to voicemail. The spiritual foundation of what I do, Bowspring, is all about this. Taking accountability for yourself and your ability to connect to life, nature, the divine. Okay in the shore break, loves. Tell me below how you’ve connected with her lately and maybe we can get nature to go viral instead of people coming at me because they don’t realize form matters more than load 🤣 #bowspring
Comment CHALLENGE for my free YouTube video where you can learn the beginning and REPATTERN for my class that gives you the details. Your pelvic floor is asking for your support, are you willing to listen? Love, Dr. Lily #bowspring #pelvicfloorhealth #pelvicfloorexercise #pelvicfloortherapy #kegelexercises
