"I'm too stiff for yoga.
"I'd be the only one who doesn't know what they're doing."
"Yoga is for flexible people, not me."
Sound familiar? If you've ever talked yourself out of trying yoga because you felt too stiff, too out of shape, or too inexperienced, this episode is for you.
Here's what I want you to know: Stiffness isn't a barrier to yoga. It's one of the best reasons to start.
Think about what happens when stiffness goes unaddressed. You move less because it feels harder. Moving less creates more stiffness, and more stiffness leads to decreased mobility. It's a cycle of decline that can lead to losing your independence all together.
That progression doesn't have to be your story.
In episode #5 of Mindful Movement Matters, we have an honest conversation about the real concerns people have about starting yoga, and why most of those fears are based on misconceptions.
In this episode you will discover:
🏵️ Why "too stiff" is a reason to start yoga not a deterrent
🏵️ What we call the "muscles of youth" and why they matter
🏵️ How Fusion Yoga includes brain training for fall prevention
🏵️ Breathing techniques you can practice at home before your first class
