Yoga Warning: Are You Putting Your Joints at Risk? with Lara Heimann (Ep 114)
In this episode of the Bendy Bodies podcast, Dr. Linda Bluestein, the Hypermobility MD, sits down with physical therapist and yoga expert Lara Heimann to uncover the hidden dangers of yoga for hypermobile individuals. As the creator of the LYT Method, Lara combines yoga with functional anatomy to ensure that movement is safe and effective for those with joint instability.

Takeaways:
Yoga for Hypermobile People: Hypermobile individuals can benefit from yoga if they focus on stability and avoid pushing into extreme ranges of motion.
Stability Over Flexibility: Building strength and stability should be prioritized over achieving deep flexibility in yoga practice.
Body Awareness is Key: Proprioception and awareness of body position are essential for safe movement in yoga for hypermobile individuals.
Props and Feedback: Using blocks, the wall, and other props can help provide feedback and enhance stability during practice.
Finding the Right Instructor: It's crucial to find a yoga teacher who understands the unique needs of hypermobile individuals and emphasizes stability over flexibility
