This children's song is to get kids moving, and to teach very young ones to identify body parts. (By the way, the adult version is "wallet, glasses, keys, and phone .) I think it's a great reminder that everything on our body is connected.
As I was moving and unpacking last week, I found myself feeling sore and stiff in many parts of my body. I normally do a personal yoga practice every morning that incorporates the whole body, but I skimped on it when things got busy. I only did stretches for the specific areas where I have the most tension (back and feet).
This was a reminder to me that you really can't "spot treat" body areas. Big muscles have smaller assisting muscles, nerves, tendons, and connective tissue. Joints have connections to muscle via ligaments. As we are complex 3D shapes, what we do on one side of the body also affects the opposite side.
So for example, when dealing with low back pain, there's no one magical pose that does everything. Instead, what's needed is a combination of movements for mobility, strength, and flexibility that address the back and everything surrounding it.
That's why each class I teach, whether chair or mat, includes a well-rounded practice from head to toe. Just don't ask me to sing!
If you would like to explore yoga that helps you feel better from head to toe, you can work with me in group classes or 1-on-1 sessions via Zoom or in-person, and video recordings.
