In the 25 years of being a physical therapist I've seen that people have become more restricted and less varied in their movement. In this episode I break down exactly what I mean by good movement and tell you how to increase your ability to move well. Make it your mission to move, and move well, each and every day. Also, examine the ways that you're not moving as well, and think about how you can be more efficient and more coordinated in movement.To learn more, and for the complete show notes, visit: movementbylara.comResources:Instagram: @lara.heimannFacebook: facebook.com/movementbylaraRedefining Yoga is a production of Crate Media Hosted on Acast.

Today’s podcast is about habit formation, and this is in lieu of New Year’s resolutions and goals because most people don’t achieve them. The problem is that they try to change too much too fast. Habits, on the other hand, are tiny little actions that build up, like compound interest. Listen to the episode for a look into the science of behavior change.
