YOGA & RANGE OF MOTION, THE EXERCISE YOU DO NOW WILL BENEFIT THE FUTURE YOU 😌
We’ve been told the same story for years:
“As you age, your body declines and there’s nothing you can do about it.”
But that story misses one key thing — the body loves to play.
Mobility and movement don’t need to be rigid or intense. They work best when they’re fluid, curious, and a playful. That restless, fidgety energy we’re taught to suppress when we’re children? It’s actually a powerful cue to move. Channel it — don’t shut it down - research shows now that certain people need that fidgety movement to help their brains process thoughts 💭
Recently, I’ve shifted toward lower intensity, slower movement, and the impact has been huge. Not dramatic. Just consistent. And that’s the key — consistency over force.
For the past 18 months I’ve been breastfeeding with a dominant side; Instead of pushing symmetry, I’ve leaned into slow, playful, asymmetrical movement — letting my body explore, balance, and stay mobile on both sides without restriction. I heard an analogy recently which went a little like this, keeping your joints mobile depends on how much you work on keeping their range of motion, if you don’t move it, you don’t keep it; much like flossing your teeth.. floss the teeth you want to keep 😬
We don’t lose movement because we’re aging.
We lose it because we stop exploring.
Mobility isn’t about perfect shapes.
It’s about freedom, adaptability, and letting your body move the way it wants to — safely, often, and with curiosity.
Move like your future and younger self is watching 🧘♀️
