128 | How To Stretch The Hamstrings Aug 28, 2019

Show notes

Asking how to stretch your hamstrings is like asking, what's the meaning of life? I say that because, although I get asked how to stretch the hamstrings all the time, there’s no simple answer. In this episode I want to expand your idea of what the hamstrings are and what stretching them actually means.

127 | Life Training Aug 26, 2019

Show notes

This podcast is about how movement practice can be seen as a preparation for life. Movement has to do with life and transitions. Life itself is one movement after the other. We move through stages. And even within the cycle of a day, we're moving. Our movement patterns can offer us a unique opportunity to pay attention and improve the way we respond to and interact with situations in our life.

126 | How To Lighten Up Aug 23, 2019

Show notes

Today’s podcast is about lightening up. We can tend to get stuck in the things that bog us down. So how can we lighten up emotionally, mentally, physically and in response to situations? By connecting to and strengthening our core center, our physical and spiritual self, we can get that feeling of lightness and that belief that we can handle anything, even when things don’t go our way.

125 | Stop The Snowball Effect Aug 21, 2019

Show notes

Today's podcast is about the snowball effect. A snowball that rolls down a hill, gathering more and more snow can have a massive impact when it gets to the bottom, kind of like a runaway train. So what happens when we let our thoughts or suboptimal movement patterns snowball? In terms of our mental state, we get more and more overwhelmed. With movement, one thing compounds another and we can end up with a repetitive strain injury or movement dysfunction that’s difficult to correct.

122 | Seated Forward Folds Aug 14, 2019

Show notes

Today’s episode is about why I don't teach or practice seated forward folds. I'm not saying they're bad, but there's a lot of reasons I don't do them. Primarily I want to make sure that people get the most bang for their buck out of any movement they do, and this is particularly important for people who don’t spend a lot of their day in movement.

121 | Neutral Pelvis Aug 12, 2019

Show notes

The position of the pelvis is fundamentally important for the alignment of the spine, all the way up into the skull. It forms the basis for our movement patterns and for our energy levels, and that’s why today’s episode is all about creating and maintaining a neutral pelvis.

120 | What We Can Learn From Athletes | with Lara Heimann Aug 09, 2019

Show notes

Today's podcast is about what we can learn from professional athletes. Athletes are so fascinating to observe because of the discipline involved when working to be one of the best or the most elite in your sport. They can also teach us a lot about the power of drive and determination and inspire us to think about the potential of our own bodies. For instance, what would happen if we put a little bit more effort and energy into our own movement and aspirations of being more physically fit? Another thing we can learn from athletes is more of a what not to do. Many athletic endeavors are just too demanding to do long term, and there’s such a big difference from that high level of performance to being retired. Whatever we're doing, we want it to be sustainable so that we don’t injure ourselves or experience burnout.

119 | What Causes Stress | with Lara Heimann Aug 07, 2019

Show notes

Today’s podcast is all about stress. Whether it’s physical, mental or emotional, stress is not a bad thing per se. It helps us to be motivated and get things done. If we didn’t put any stress on our bodies or our minds, we wouldn’t grow stronger or improve. But it’s also easy to get too stressed, and sometimes that point of overwhelm can come on quite quickly. Too much stress can lead to injury, illness or fatigue. In this episode I cover how to manage stress so that it doesn’t become overwhelming or cause health problems.
