Most people aren’t tight in yoga and stretching.They’re structured different.In this talk, I challenge one of the biggest assumptions in modern training/yoga/movement: that there is one correct way for every body to move.Informed by over two decades of anatomical study and teacher training, Dhugal explores why bone structure — not effort — often determines range of motion.When we stop forcing bodies into averages, training becomes intelligent.Effort becomes precise.And progress becomes sustainable.For teachers. For trainers. For thinkers.Because injury is not opinion. Health is.

We yoga teachers are a bossy bunch: 'put your foot here", 'feet parallel', 'square your hips', we use phrases like 'simple poses' and 'advanced poses'.

Let me show you why this is all because we don't know enough. We don't know enough about deep human difference. By showing you how we are all so very different deep down in our bones, you can instantly see how all the cues you've learned as a teacher are at best on shaky ground.

At worst, they injure your students. This info should change the way you think forever as a yoga practitioner and teacher. It did when I found out! Come join me.

in this second of a series of mini podcast lectures on the theory of yin yoga (see episode 48 for part 1), I talk about the biochemistry (and qi theory of) why we must exercise our joints.

this is highly relevant in a culture where everyone has bad backs, bad knees and bad hips... even professional sports people.

how do we still not know how to work with our bones? what can we do to fix ourselves?

in this first of a series of mini podcast lectures on the theory of yin yoga, I present why we practice yin yoga.

yin has become so popular over the last few years i feel we have lost the original idea of the first to curate and make this the practice the center of their yoga life... let's get back to basics

Most yogis (and yoga teachers) think we cannot do yoga poses because of tension in our bodies.

You've heard this, your hamstrings are tight, lengthen here... or your shoulders are not open, you need to be more open...

But, what if there was a MUCH more obvious reason why some can't do a yoga pose, but another can? What if this reason is not known by most yoga teachers (even the most famous ones).
