Redefining Movement

Welcome to Wednesday Q&A, where you ask questions and we answer them!

In this Wednesday Q&A, we answer your questions about tongue placement during yoga, how to approach coccyx pain, and how to know if yoga teacher training is right for you.

Your questions:

* I thought I'd ask about tongue placement in the mouth. I've seen many people who I respect here on the internet saying that the tongue should generally rest on the roof of the mouth with the tip of the tongue behind the front teeth. Do you and Kristin have any comments or info about this?

* I have coccyx pain. What's what's the best approach to to deal with it? 

* I'm not sure if I want to do a yoga teacher training, but feel inspired to learn more about the LYT method, yoga as a modality, and more. How does one determine if training is the right choice?

Welcome to Wednesday Q&A, where you ask questions and we answer them!

In this Wednesday Q&A, we answer your questions about how to know how much to move, strategies to help people fine-tune their core engagement, and thoughts on PRP and/or stem cell therapy. 

Your questions:

* Can you discuss the importance of listening to your body and finding the balance between pushing yourself and practicing self-care in movement?

* I have a lady when doing abdominals that “puffs” her belly up when she lifts up. Creating (to me) a lot of intra-abdominal pressure. I give all the cues (engage the diamond, draw lower ribs down). But nothing seems to help. What can you suggest, as I’m assuming she is putting a lot of pressure down into her pelvic floor as well.

* I'm curious of your thoughts on stem cell and/or PRP therapy.

Join Lara & Kristin this month for a deep dive into how physical therapy is woven into the LYT blueprint.

In this episode, you’ll learn about:

* about the importance of physical therapy in addressing physical impairments and pain.

* that physical therapy goes beyond just treating symptoms, but aims to restore function, improve mobility, and enhance overall quality of life.

* the significance of neurodevelopmental patterns, particularly how they shape our cognitive, motor, emotional, and social abilities from conception to adulthood.

* the significance of motor development in brain and nervous system maturation, using the example of a baby's progression from crawling to walking.

* the concept of neurodevelopmental training, which views the body as an integrated whole and aims to restore or improve brain function, particularly in cases of brain trauma.

* the importance of postural control and balance, highlighting how these aspects impact overall well-being, mobility, and even breathing and stress management.

* the concept of neural plasticity, which refers to the brain's ability to change and adapt.

* the benefits of applying orthopedic physical therapy principles to a more holistic and fun approach, such as using the body's natural movements and focusing on posture and core strength.

There’s a lot to cover, so let’s dive in!

Welcome to Wednesday Q&A, where you ask questions and we answer them!

In this Wednesday Q&A, we answer your questions about remedies morning low back pain and stiffness, advice on a stress fracture in a toe, and advice on balancing exercise amongst everything else in life.

Your questions:

* Do you have a favorite stretch or exercise to alleviate low back pain and stiffness in the morning?

* I recently developed a stress fracture in my 4th metatarsal. I healed quickly, but was quite surprised when it happened, as I thought my feet were relatively strong. I've had my LYT practice for years, and I run, hike, strength train, and do lots of plyometric work. I suspect rucking on the treadmill in my minimalist shoes contributed to the fracture. What are your thoughts on footwear for these activities? 

* Can you give me advice on how to balance exercise with all the other activities and responsibilities in life?
