In this episode, you’ll learn about:

*Set Clear, Sustainable Goals* Maintaining health and wellness requires setting specific, achievable, and sustainable goals, such as aiming for gradual progress rather than quick fixes. A long-term vision aligned with your lifestyle helps you stay motivated and make better daily decisions.

*Consistent Exercise & Movement* Consistent exercise is essential for wellness, as it strengthens the body, improves mood, and boosts energy. However, signs like frequent fatigue, aches, or decreased energy after workouts may indicate overtraining or inadequate recovery, highlighting the importance of listening to your body.

*Prioritize Quality Nutrition* A balanced diet of whole foods, vegetables, lean proteins, and healthy fats fuels the body, while mindful eating focuses on how food makes you feel. Watch for signs like constant cravings, sluggishness after meals, or emotional eating, which may signal an imbalance in your diet.

*Mental Health & Mindfulness* True wellness includes mental and emotional health, and mindfulness practices like meditation or journaling can reduce stress and improve focus and mood.

*Quality Sleep* Sleep is essential for wellness, supporting recovery, brain function, and hormone regulation, with 7-9 hours of quality rest needed each night; trouble sleeping, waking up tired, or relying on stimulants may indicate a problem.

*Track Your Progress and Stay Flexible* Tracking progress can be motivating, but it's important to stay flexible, as setbacks are normal; avoid discouragement, rigidity, or losing joy in your healthy habits.

*Check-in With Your Support System* Having a supportive community is crucial for wellness, as accountability and encouragement help maintain consistency; isolation or unhealthy influences can hinder progress.

*Why Kindness Matters in Community Building* Kindness builds trust and fosters a sense of belonging, making people feel valued and more willing to contribute positively. It also promotes well-being, reducing stress and creating a supportive, collaborative environment where everyone can thrive.

Creating safe spaces and inclusive digital events ensures everyone feels comfortable and valued, strengthening bonds within the community.

By cultivating a culture where everyone feels valued and encouraged to contribute, kindness strengthens communities, making them more vibrant and equipped to thrive.

Incorporating education into movement practices is crucial for several reasons:

1.  **Improved Understanding**: Education helps individuals understand the principles behind movements, making them more aware of the correct techniques and the purpose of each exercise. This knowledge can lead to more effective and intentional practice.
2. **Injury Prevention**: With a better understanding of biomechanics and body mechanics, individuals can perform movements safely, reducing the risk of injury. Education on proper form and alignment is essential for preventing strains, sprains, and other injuries.
3. **Enhanced Motivation**: When people understand the benefits and science behind movement practices, they are often more motivated to engage in them consistently. Knowing how exercises improve health, well-being, and performance can encourage sustained participation.
4. **Personalized Practice**: Education enables individuals to tailor their movement practices to their specific needs, goals, and limitations. This personalization can enhance the effectiveness of the practice and address individual health concerns.
5. **Holistic Health**: Understanding the interconnectedness of physical, mental, and emotional health can lead to more comprehensive movement practices. Education can promote practices that not only improve physical fitness but also support mental well-being and emotional balance.
6. **Empowerment**: Educated individuals are empowered to take control of their health and fitness. They can make informed decisions about their movement practices and are less reliant on external guidance, fostering independence and confidence.
7. **Sustainability**: Knowledgeable individuals are more likely to develop sustainable movement habits. They understand the long-term benefits and are more likely to integrate movement into their daily lives as a lifelong practice rather than a short-term activity.
8. **Community Building**: Education fosters a sense of community and shared understanding among practitioners. When individuals share knowledge and experiences, it can strengthen group cohesion and support.

By integrating education into movement practices, individuals can achieve more effective, safe, and meaningful results, leading to a healthier and more informed approach to physical activity.

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).

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?

Yoga, stretching, and even walking doesn’t feel as good as pre-pregnancy because I lost my body and movement awareness. Thanks!

* A long-term yogi & friend (mid-60s) has recently been diagnosed with arthritis in her cervical spine, C2-C5. She has a fair bit of pain & is careful what she does in our LYT classes. In your opinion is there anything that I can do to help her?

In her effort to help people who don’t believe that yoga is for them for one reason or another, she’s ready to share what she’s learned about yoga history in her latest book, Yoga Life: Habits, Poses, and Breathwork to Channel Joy Amidst the Chaos.

In this episode of Redefining Movement, Brett takes us on a quick tour of how modern yoga came to be and why it isn’t always about following poses strictly. In fact, she encourages you to explore and find what truly works for you and your body.

In this episode, you’ll learn the following:

• There’s no right or wrong way to practice yoga. It’s rooted in personalizing the practice for your specific needs.
• Yoga is a physical practice and also a mindset you inhabit.
• You don’t need a long yoga session to experience its benefits if you understand what your body needs at the moment.

On this episode of Redefining Movement, Katie emphasizes the paramount importance of self-care and underscores her belief that health is the ultimate wealth. She also discusses her mission to bridge the healthcare system's gaps, particularly aiding those with hypermobility conditions like HSD and Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome.

In this episode, you will learn the following:

• The healthcare system primarily treats rather than prevents medical issues. Investing in your health can help avoid common health concerns like diabetes and heart attacks.
• A diagnosis of hypermobility or EDS doesn't condemn you to a lifetime of suffering. Proper movement and habits can help you manage these conditions and live healthier lives.
• Success, like health, requires daily effort, even when immediate rewards are lacking. Over time, you'll be amazed at the progress you've achieved.

In this episode of Redefining Movement, Jill talks about the influential role branding plays on the success of a fitness business. She also shares her experiences with understanding moderation in her diets, taking discipline to the next level by learning to trust herself, and lessons she’s learned about starting an online business and developing a recession-proof brand.

In this episode, you will learn the following:

• Understanding what you can and can’t control is powerful knowledge you can use wherever you are, whether it’s about fixing your diet or running your business. 
• Another name for branding is trust-building, and that takes time. You need to develop your patience and endurance for providing value to your clients daily if you truly want to succeed as an entrepreneur in the fitness space—or any space, for that matter.
• Being authentically yourself online differentiates you from other businesses since it’s what allows people to trust and eventually follow you and your business when you decide to expand or pivot. Always remember to show your energy to attract people who are more likely to want to work with you.

In this Wednesday Q&A, we answer your questions about practicing yoga with different leg lengths, diastasis recti, and relaxing the pelvic floor.

Your questions:

1. I got a really good question from a new student. She has different leg lengths that in daily life is adjusted by different thickness of the soles of her shoes. However, she's questioning how to take this into account and how and where to adjust when doing yoga. What would you advise in this case? 

2. I'm 38 years old and currently 18 months postpartum after baby number two, I'm dealing with diastasis recti. I probably always had it a bit, but worsened it a lot after baby number one when I started my normal yoga practice about four weeks postpartum. My midwife realized the separation got bigger after a checkup, about four months postpartum by then. After that, I continued my yoga practice as normal, but did some physiotherapy. My belly wasn't as flat as before pregnancy, but that's okay after a baby and I had no other problems. After baby number two, I was very aware of the D.R. issue and tried to do everything right. No normal yoga - any kind of backbend, chaturanga, one-legged, and so on. But the separation was five fingers and only went down to about three fingers, max. I tried, as I mentioned, to avoid many kinds of movement which is very hard for someone who loves to move. Is there something that can be done? Can I reverse this? 

3. I feel like I'm strong in my pelvic floor. I don't leak. I can do all kinds of exercises. But I see all over Instagram and social media this call to relax, relax, relax your pelvic floor and now I feel confused.

In this Wednesday Q&A, we answer your questions about sciatica, shoulder positioning, and warrior 1 back leg. 

Your questions:

1. I've been listening to your podcast for a while. After hearing the question from the lady about sciatica, I have joined your platform. I recently had a flare-up of sciatica in my right leg and I started doing the classes that Kristin has online for sciatica mobility, hoping it will ease. I know from previous MRI scans that I have mild disc herniation L4-L5, L5-S1. My pain is like a tight wire down my back of my leg and calf and heel. Sometimes it's in the front of the shin. I'm struggling with the inconsistency of pain. It's definitely worse in the evening. I try to be as mobile as possible in the day, but do have a desk job. I've also had a prolonged issue with my right knee that has improved, but I know my mobility and right hip is much more limited than on the left side. I wonder if you had any further advice. I think your podcast and online classes are excellent. I'm passionate about functional movement for others and now I need to help myself.

2. She says some people seem to have trouble with lifting their arms and softening their shoulders. It looks like they always pull their shoulders up towards their ears when they go into cactus arms. What is the cause and what can I do to help/fix this?

3. In Warrior One with your back toes turned out about 30-45 degrees. If you pull the hip of the back leg forward, just enough to feel a good stretch in your back calf without feeling your knee being talked or twisted. Is that safe for your knee or does any action of trying to bring the hip of your back leg forward with the back hill down and your foot slightly turned out and angle twist and hurt that knee?

In this Wednesday Q&A, we answer your questions about handstands, intermittent back pain, and Bell’s palsy. 

Your questions:

1. I have a handstand question for the podcast. I am following the idea to pull the femur up and I'm quite stable in my handstand hop until I have to inhale again. Then all falls apart and I sink down. Do you guys have any tips?

2. How do I know if my intermittent back pain is a disc or a muscle?

3. One of my dearest friends’ husband has Bell's palsy. He was bitten by a tick about two weeks ago, and shortly after he woke up looking like he had a stroke. They ruled out the stroke, thank goodness. But one side of his face is drooping and he can't close one eye. Drinking is not easy. Whistling is out of the question had been told by his neurologist that it could be at least three months before any possibility of improvement occurs and that 80% of people will improve, hopefully returning to normal facial structure and nerve activity. I do not blame him for not wanting to wait and see. He is seeing an acupuncturist and after one session he felt a little better but no change. What experience do you have in treating Bell's palsy, if any, and what are the suggestions that you have for me to pass on to them? He's also on doxycycline for Lyme disease, but he has no symptoms other than half of his face being all kinds of droopy. He did start practicing gentle yoga online, which can only help. Of course, I believe that LYT yoga can be helped so much of what ails us humans. I wonder if the neuro programming can somehow help his face. I know it will help the rest of him and his mood too. And you never know. I really feel for him. And my friend too. Thank you.

In this Wednesday Q&A, we answer your questions about wrist pain, yoga in the sand, lower thoracic pain, and thumb pain.

Your questions:

1. My active cyclist, sixty-year-old student has been practicing LYT with me for more than a year. We celebrated the relief from chronic neck discomfort last winter. Remarkable improvement in his left hip mobility, where it was always painful for him. But the one thing that is not improving at all is his left wrist. He even feels discomfort when he is cycling. He can't weight bear on it. I believe it is coming from his left shoulder, the more immobile side for him. Can you please advise what I can do further to help him?

2. What are your thoughts on practicing yoga in the sand? Is the ground, as in grass-covered soil, the best surface for yoga or are different surfaces good for different goals?

3. I have a desk job, I'm becoming very creative in moving and supporting myself when at work. If you could, I want to hear more of why the spasm and pain are only showing at areas T8 through 12. 

4. What would you advise best for discomfort from the thumb from typing or holding the mouth? Do we focus more on mobility and stretching or do we want to strengthen it?

In this Wednesday Q&A, we answer your questions about can you achieve perfect posture with a broken bone, distal finger proprioception, disc function and spinal alignment, and bunions.

Your questions:

1. Can you achieve perfect posture if you’ve broken an important bone like the collarbone?

2. I have a podcast question about proprioception motor control hypermobility in the distal finger joints. I have known for a while that a sign of EDS, Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome, a hypermobility syndrome, in kids is fine and gross motor skill development, which I had. I recently learned that in addition to being clumsy and running into things, EDS folks tend to drop objects a lot due to proprioceptive issues. My phone currently has a lot of cracks in it. Do you guys have any ideas on how to improve distal finger proprioception?

3. What is a disc and its function? And what are your thoughts about chiropractic adjustment or muscle strengthening for better spinal alignment?

4. I've never had a problem with bunions until recently, although I've noticed the bony bump on the joint at the base of my big toe when I bought a new pair of trainers comfortable with wide enough toe space, they were rubbing a little bit on that bone. It didn't really hurt, but I could feel it after a couple of weeks, it started to become really painful and inflamed. I'd like to think that I'm doing the correct things by wearing correct toes. There's the toes, spacers, exercising, massaging my feet, walking, barefoot, posture, etc. I also got myself a bunion cushion for when I'm wearing shoes that that does not seem to help. My question is whether that can be caused by an inflammatory disease such as rheumatism. I had a blood test a while ago and it turned out that one of the markers was elevated. It would be great if you could discuss bunions and how to treat them on the podcast.

In this Wednesday Q&A, we answer your questions about bursitis and tendinitis in the hip, mouth taping, and why we don’t do seated forward folds in LYT. 

Your questions:

1. I have a yoga student that was diagnosed with bursitis and tendinitis in her left hip. She's 33 years old. She had a scan three weeks ago, then had a cortisone shot just after that. The cortisone shot has not given her any relief at all. She has been in a lot of pain. Both sitting and standing. Has seen a physio on a few occasions and has been given exercises but unable to do them due to too painful. Her previous exercise included gym work with weights and some cardio. Lately, she has been doing quite a bit of lifting and moving heavy objects around as she has a little business with pots and ornaments. She was advised to ice it, but she has found that heat has given her a small amount of relief. She's going back to her doctor next week for further advice. I would appreciate any suggestions you can give at this stage to help her.

2. What do you think about melt tape for sleeping? I sleep with my mouth open, suffer from dry mouth at night and was thinking of trying it thoughts. Good, bad?

3. Can you speak to why we don't practice traditional seated forward folds in the lip method? And what are the more optimal ways to achieve similar benefits of seated folds?

In this episode, Dooley shares his story of how youth sports massively affected his career choice and how he uses this unbridled love for fitness to up the ante in the digital world. We talk about the effects social media has on the contemporary business structure and what the future might look like. Dooley also talks about the importance of variety in routine and what it means to finally take responsibility for your own actions and how that creates a positive E.F.F.E.C.T. on overall health and well-being.

In this episode, you will learn the following:

1. Being persistent with your passion is integral to maintaining growth. The short-term bliss of taking a break is often outweighed by the time you lose when you lose focus.
2. By incorporating variety into your routine, you provide yourself more opportunity to stay dedicated. There are fewer chances of becoming bored and losing sight of what is important.
3. When you choose to accept responsibility for your own life and successes, you rewire your system to stop holding back.

In this Wednesday Q&A, we answer your questions about right leg pain, gentle ways to build core strength, and osteomyelitis.

Your questions:

1. I have pain deep in my right glute that shoots down the back of my leg. It started back last July after I finished my first half marathon. A few weeks after the race, I developed horrible low back pain that shut down the right leg. The doctors wouldn't give me a firm diagonal diagnosis without an imaging test, but he prescribed muscle relaxants, anti-inflammatories, and told me to do piriformis stretches. The meds and rest eventually put it into remission and I stopped doing all seated forward fold postures and never stretched my hamstrings without bending my knees, trying to be very mindful of neutral pelvis and to protect my SI joint and lumbar spine. But in February or March this year, it came back. This time I had no pain in the low back, just the glute in the back of the leg. It's worse first thing in the morning and sometimes it wakes me up at night. I've been working with some functional movement practitioners for about a month now, trying to relieve and correct the issue. But it's truly a roller coaster. Some days I take two steps forward, I think it's getting better, and then the next I take three steps back and can hardly walk without medication. Sitting aggravates it the most, especially sitting in a car. I have a desk job and I've been using a standing desk exclusively since March. When doing windshield wipers with my knees, I find that internal rotation is much more accessible and pain-free on the affected side. Any insight is greatly appreciated.

2. Having connective tissue disorders, there isn't a whole lot I can do without making matters worse for myself by way of inflammation. So I stick to movement, “gentle stretches,” and things like qigong. This has always worked well since I'm naturally long and lean, but I'll be 50 in August and I'm in menopause and my middle is getting icky. Is there a gentle way to tighten this area without hurting myself? I can't plank because of what it does to my neck and shoulders. Physically, I can do almost anything. I'm not weak, I'm just very flexible. But my fascia is apparently a mess. 

3. I have a friend recovering from osteomyelitis of the lumbar spine. While bloodwork and scans show the infection is going away, maybe two more weeks left of antibiotics, and he is moving better. He still has pain with bed mobility, rolling supine-to-sit and sit-to-stand, especially first thing in the morning. Any thoughts on exercises to help his back feel better, less stiff while he is recovering? As a clinician, I have never seen lumbar osteomyelitis and I am unsure how to proceed.

In this Wednesday Q&A, we answer your questions about hyperlordosis, ischial bursitis, and releasing stress.

Your questions:

* Why do you think it is that you could have two people the same age with hyperlordosis, for example, one of them goes through life with no pain and yet the other has been suffering with chronic back pain or hip pain for years?

* Ischial Bursitis, a friend of my husband's has this. They are kayakers and train 4 to 5 days a week. He's in extreme pain. Any suggestion? Lots of rest, but anything else you can recommend?

* How do Lara and KB (Kristin) release stress? You both seem so cheery, but I imagine you must have some stress.

In this Wednesday Q&A, we answer your questions about back pain, wrist pain, and how to protect your lower back.

Your questions:

* How do I know if my intermittent back pain is a disc or a muscle?

* I lead a pretty sedentary lifestyle, work at my computer ten plus hours per day for my job but try to workout/practice LYT yoga 2 to 3 times per week. I get flare-ups of tendinitis in my wrist and I notice it sometimes gets worse if I do too many weight-bearing poses/exercises after many days of not working out. Is there something I can do on a daily basis to prevent these flare-ups? Not sure if stretching or muscle-building stuff is better for injury prevention in the wrist.

* How to protect the lower spine with lots of folding, including down dog.
