Q: Hip-opening yoga poses are those that specifically focus on stretching tight hip muscles. Technically, all yoga poses can be considered hip-opening poses because yoga in general is designed to help your hip muscles. But there are some very specific poses that target this area and also help improve your range of motion, blood circulation and reduce back pain. Exercises focused specifically on the hip muscles will probably make them sore and stiff, these yoga poses will help release that stiffness. The following poses are recommended to help stretch your hip muscles: The happy baby pose. The reclining bound angle pose. The frog pose. The 'thread the needle' pose. The half pigeon and double pigeon poses. The camel pose. The hero pose. You hip joint is a very stable joint with lots of muscles and a large range of motion. Activities where you aren't using your hips muscles in the way they were designed to be used (i.e. sitting at a desk all day) can cause them to tighten up and be painful. Stretching your hip muscles is a great way to loosen up this whole area, maintain good posture, and keep your spine aligned properly. There are several hip stretches you can perform to help loosen the whole area: The hip flexor stretch. The hip rotator stretch. The hip adductor stretch. The hip extensor stretch. The standing hamstring stretch. The iliotibial band stretch. Ideally, your hips will become bigger via an increase in the muscles in that area. The muscles will increase because of the exercises you'll do to target that area. To get the energy to keep up your exercise routine, and to keep exercising long-term, you need to consume carbs. You also need to consume protein that will help build that muscle. The average person should eat a decent meal 1-2 hours before they exercise, and have another decent meal 1-2 hours after they exercise. As long as the meals are balanced and nutritious, they will provide the carbs and protein you need to have energy and build muscle. An example of a pre or post workout meal for a women might be: a small handful of almonds, a deck of cards size of meat, a handful of vegetables, and a handful of rice or other grain. An example of a man's meal would generally be larger, depending on his weight and height, but up to double what is recommended for women. You should also be sure to consume water throughout and after your workout in order to stay properly hydrated. If you're really serious about increasing your hip size, and you have sufficient funds, you may want to consider hiring a personal trainer. Most personal trainers will have been certified by 1 of many certifying bodies (such as the American Council on Exercise (ACE), the National Academy of Sports Medicine (NASM), the International Sports Sciences Association (ISSA), and others). Most personal trainers work through health centres and local gyms, which means you will also require a membership to whatever place your personal trainer works from. Many cities offer personal training options through their city-wide recreational programs and centres.

Article: Too often, non-autistic people write about autism without consulting real autistic people. They may come up with inaccuracies, laughable misconceptions, or extremely negative viewpoints on differences that don't hurt anyone. Autistic people can provide you with a more accurate and well-rounded view. The Autistic community often describes autism in a neutral or positive light. This may help you gain a more holistic sense of autism, as opposed to seeing only the negatives. Autism is a complex neurological condition that comes with several blessings along with its impairments. You may experience some or all of the following: Deeply passionate interests. These can lead to tremendous expertise, and possibly a very successful career or fun hobby. Helpfulness. Autistic people, in general, have a high sense of social responsibility, or the desire to solve problems and help others. Precision. It is often noted that autistic people focus on the small parts, rather than the big picture. This can lead to remarkable detail-oriented work, where a neurotypical person might be unable to focus so clearly on the individual aspects of something. Visual intelligence. Autistic people have tested higher on visual and nonverbal intelligence tests. Sincerity. Autistic people tend to mean what they say, and act as a "voice of reason" without becoming mired in social complexities. Your honesty and genuine spirit can feel refreshing to others. Creativity and a unique perspective. Autistic people can learn in unusual ways. This provides insights that neurotypicals may never realize, and can become a great asset in collaboration. Plenty of famous people have been diagnosed or thought to be autistic. Strong special interests, focus, and a unique perspective can lead to innovation and creativity. Historically, Einstein, Thomas Jefferson, Emily Dickinson, Mozart, and more people were thought to be autistic. Famous autistic people today include Tim Burton, Susan Boyle, Adam Young (from Owl City), Temple Grandin and more. Special interests are a clear upside of autism: you have an incredible memory about these facts, intense focus, and the ability to act like a walking encyclopedia of information whenever you want. You also get to have a lot of fun doing the things you love. Most non-autistic people would be jealous of the way you can recall and discuss information. The social model holds that disability is not caused by defects in the brain or body, but by society's failure to accommodate and accept a certain variation. For example, most nearsighted people are not disabled: they are fully accommodated within society (glasses, contacts), and have the same opportunities that non-nearsighted people have. Their body can't do the same things, but technology makes up for that, so it is not an issue.

Q: You don't have to apologize for being tall, and the girl you're hugging doesn't have to apologize for being short. There's no need to say "Guess I'll need to bend down" or "Sorry I'm so short." Two people hugging will always recognize the size disparity between one another. However, there's always room for some playful honesty in moments like this. It won't hurt to be upfront and say "Okay, how would you like to do this?" Plenty of guys might overthink the situation and wonder if it isn't better to just allow the girl to position herself however she's comfortable and let their own arms rest wherever seems appropriate. This, however, isn't really fair to whoever you're hugging. Be sure to be proactive at the start of the hug. As suggested, be sure to bend down if hugging from the front or move your arm(s) out when hugging for the side. It's not a terrible instinct to allow the shorter person to position themselves, but you need to meet them halfway by doing some positioning yourself. In either a side hug or a front-facing hug, your arms may very well be at the level of the shorter person's head. Since when two people of equal height hug they simply put their arms forward, the instinct is to do the same with any other hug. As you can imagine, having your head squeezed doesn't really constitute a great hug. Unless the girl you're hugging is your significant other, don't assume that just because a girl a short and you're tall that she'd like to be lifted into the air. Some might assume it's a playful and comical way to address the height difference, but it can quickly turn into an uncomfortable experience for the person you're hugging.
A:
Don't make it awkward. Don't just stand there. Keep your arms away from their neck and head. Don't lift her up unless she asks.
