**Redefining Movement**

Redefining Movement, the LYT podcast, is hosted by two Physical Therapists: Lara Heimann, founder of LYT, and Kristin Williams, COO & Senior LYT Instructor. Together, they explore movement through the lens of physical therapy, neuroscience, and the lived experience of being human.

Blending scientific insights with soulful perspectives, Lara and Kristin transform our understanding of how our bodies and minds interact. Though the show has changed in several ways since the first episode in 2018, the mission remains steadfast and clear: to help us find freedom and feel empowered through intelligent movement patterns and a compassionate outlook, so we can all live more capable, connected, and uplifted lives.

356 | Wednesday Q&A with Kristin Williams | February 17, 2021 Feb 17, 2021

Show notes

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

Your questions:

Can posture make you have a hump at the top of your spine, and if you correct your posture, will it fix itself?
If yoga is used to move the spine in ways to improve posture, doesn’t it also work with the muscles to improve one's posture in a muscular sense, and does movement in a yoga practice train the nervous system to bring our bodies into a proper posture?
I’ve heard that massage can also help improve posture through manipulation of the muscle tissue. I’ve heard it’s especially helpful for people with rounded shoulders. Is this true?
What is the root cause of dorsal kyphosis?

348 | Dressage, Horsemanship, & Posture | with Karen Rohlf Jan 29, 2021

Show notes

Karen Rohlf is an expert dressage teacher. She pioneered a new niche in the horse industry by combining two seemingly different styles of riding, and she works with horses to improve their biomechanics by focusing on the mental and emotional components of posture and movement. She also mentors other heart-centered equine professionals.

Karen started as a horse-crazy kid. But the further she delved into the professional horse industry, the more she missed the feeling of riding for fun as a kid. So she ended up diving into natural horsemanship, where the partnership and relationship with the horse took priority.
