118 | Overactive Muscles | with Lara Heimann Aug 05, 2019

Show notes

Today's episode is what to do about over-developed or, as I like to think of them, over activated muscles. I get a lot of questions, particularly about the upper trapezius and the latissimus dorsi, otherwise known as the traps and the lats. As always, share this with friends, especially anyone who has been complaining about neck or shoulder tightness.

115 | Hiring a Yoga Teacher | with Lara Heimann Jul 29, 2019

Show notes

Today's episode is all about what to look for when hiring a yoga teacher. It’s important to have some kind of standards when you're hiring, and especially for yoga studio owners. Because when we hire yoga teachers, those teachers are branches of us, they're representing the studio motto and studio ethos.

114 | Forward Folds | with Lara Heimann Jul 26, 2019

Show notes

In today's episode I cover what to do instead of a seated forward fold. I get this question a lot. When I say I never do it, I'm not saying it’s wrong. If it feels good, I'm not telling you not to do it. But I'm offering you some other ways to get that same feel-good sensation from a forward fold. When people do a seated four fold, and they really love it, what they love is the feeling of that pull. Because the back part of the body, if we're flexing a lot during the day, meaning we're just compressed, that back part of the body wants to do the opposite. So we want to open that up and extend it. Tune in for a few alternative poses that will give you a better, safer stretch.

113 | Connect To Your Core | with Lara Heimann Jul 24, 2019

Show notes

Today's episode is all about connecting to your core without doing abs. In other words, the traditional kind of sit-ups or anything that involves getting on the floor. I really love doing those at the beginning of class because there's something about awakening these muscles before you ask them to do the job that they're supposed to do, which is primarily to hold your center steady and strong so that you can move your limbs with ease.

112 | What To Do About Knee Pain | with Lara Heimann Jul 22, 2019

Show notes

Today's podcast is all about knee pain. I have so many people ask me on a regular basis what they can do about the pain that they are experiencing in the knee or knees, and the knee is one of the most common body parts to get injured. The types of knee pain that people experience are due to a variety of causes and a lot of it is to do with the anatomy of the knee itself. The most common thing that I deal with is overuse injuries, but so much of this can be avoided or can be remedied when you work on your overall mechanics of the body, and that starts with how you stand.

110 | How to build new neural pathways | with Lara Heimann Jul 17, 2019

Show notes

Today’s episode covers what you can do to build new neural pathways. The brain is like a muscle, it can grow and change. Fifty years ago, scientists believed the brain was rigid and wouldn’t grow after a certain age. Now we recognize the neuroplasticity of the brain; the ability to reorganize neural pathways.

109 | Taking advantage of summer to look after yourself | with Lara Heimann Jul 15, 2019

Show notes

Today’s episode is about summer self-care tips. Summer is such a great time for looking after ourselves. It’s a time of freedom and enjoyment — we’re hard-wired to believe that as kids— and we carry that into adulthood. However, looking after yourself in the warm weather is very important and here are some summer self-care tips that I use to take advantage of this time of year.
