A big problem within the yoga & fitness industry is that we are often taught to “move through the pain”, “stretch out” tight muscles, or that flexibility is the key to better health.
Unfortunately, these misleading ideas cause people to stretch their muscles past their natural range of motion, causing weakness, instability, and stress. When muscles are weakened and compromised, then they can’t do their job of supporting your body. Hello injuries and chronic back, knee, shoulder, neck, and hip pain!
Join me for a 6-week strengthening yoga program so you can be pain-free!
This program goes BEYOND the AYAMA yoga classes I teach.
You will take a deeper dive into your anatomy, and through experience, will begin to understand the difference between “stretching” and “activating” your muscles for a greater range of motion.
Whether you are ahem, older and have faced a hip or knee replacement…
Whether you are an athlete that is recovering from an injury, or afraid of re-tweaking the injury…
Or whether you are still young-ish (especially at heart) and just want to prevent future injuries and/or surgeries…
This program will change how you approach fitness and yoga forever.
Come FEEL the difference!
You will learn…
How to understand what the pain in your body is telling you, so that you can take action to relieve that pain.
What yoga poses NOT to do, because they end up shutting down every single muscle in the trunk, hips, and back.
What it means when a muscle is “tight” and what to do about it…. hint, it’s NOT “stretching it out!!”
A short morning routine to set yourself up for a pain-free day.
And how to maximize muscle strength in the 7 main muscle categories:
trunk rotators (provides the greatest stability in your truck and spine)
trunk flexors (stable forward bending so you don’t throw your back out after you drop your keys on the floor and try to pick them up)
trunk extensors (backbends, being able to sit up straight, and preventing “hunch back” later in age)
side benders (stabilizes the trunk and back as well as all range of motion)
hip flexors (supports walking, kicking, bending, and going up stairs)
hip extensors (getting up from a seated position, walking, and running)
shoulders (provides stability in the hips and knees, and supports your neck’s range of motion)
