  • PART 2.. How to fire up the deepest core muscles (TVA or Transverse Abdominal Muscle, Uddiyana bandha im yoga)
    In the previous post I already talked about how we sometimes confuse activating the abs/six pack (rectus abdominis muscle) with the TVA.
    Here’s how to activate the TVA and how to test if you are dominantly using your abs!
    1. Lay comfortably down on your back with the knees bent and the feet flat. Then wrap your hands around your waist.
    2. Take a deep breath, then exhale and pull your lower belly in and up towards your spine WITHOUT tucking your tailbone in and holding the rib cage in place.
    3. Now lift both feet up and keep the heels in line with your knees and keep breathing.
    If your TVA is working, your belly should stay flat. But if your belly rises up like a mountain range and it gets harder, then you’re dominantly using your abs (rectus abdominus).
    The goal here is to also to be able to activate the TVA as much as the abs. Because that is your main stabilizing core muscle to protect and hold up your spine, not the abs.
    You can practice with me, access over 100+ flows and tutorials library and get tons of tips like these on Patreon. Link in my bio❤️

    This was super super extremely helpful. Thank you very much. All the details about the tailbone and the back not being flat on the floor were extremely helpful. You highlighted the differences between tva and ab so so well

    I learned about my tva when I started doing vacuums and ab exercises correctly and my lower sides and abs would all hurt and I thought I was doing something wrong and my PT was just like "were just working your deep core muscles" any how it's definitely worth it 3 months later and now my posture is better and over all I'm happier

    So your lower back should be elevated slightly above the floor even after you lift your feet?

    • @AznUzer
      @AznUzer Год назад +5

      Yes (for majority of people). When you do squats and deadlifts, you’re not generally flexing your spine which is what compressing your lower back towards the floor replicates. Keeping a neutral spine is what most people should aim for and that’s what keeping a slight elevation looks like in these types of movements.
