Redefining Movement

Today my brother, John Frank, is back to talk about “yoga butt” syndrome. John is a physical therapist, athlete, and fellow lover of movement! So just what is "yoga butt" syndrome? No, it’s not the perky butt that you’re thinking– it’s actually a pain located underneath the flesh of your butt, where your hamstrings meet your sit bone, and I’ve been hearing a lot more about it lately.   To learn more, visit: movementbylara.com   Resources: Check out movementbylara.com Online LYT Daily yoga classes with Lara: movementbylara.vhx.tv Connect with Lara on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/movementbylara/ Redefining Yoga is produced by Podcast Masters Hosted on Acast.

You hear me say this word a lot - so today is dedicated to ENERGY. I use it often in my own practice and understanding, but it’s also used in so many other ways. Almost anywhere you look, the term “energy” is everywhere; people want more of it. Today, I’d like to explain more of the science part of energy, the terms and how it can be affected by our movement.   To learn more, visit: movementbylara.com   Resources: Amy Cuddy Power Posing Check out: movementbylara.com Instagram: @lara.heimann Facebook: facebook.com/lara.f.heimann   Online LYT Daily yoga classes with Lara: movementbylara.vhx.tv Redefining Yoga is produced by Podcast Masters Hosted on Acast.

Today is an uplifting, but serious topic about the concept of sustainability. This topic came up because my daughter was writing an essay and wasn’t sure which relevant topic in today’s news she should write about. I mentioned sustainability because of a study done recently about our efforts in sustainability being not that great. The study stated that we have about 15 years to really fix things before global warming gets past the point of no return. I thought it would be great to talk about this on today’s episode because I talk about sustainable movement on the mat, and living on and off the mat in a sustainable way.   To learn more, visit: movementbylara.com   Resources: Check out: movementbylara.com Instagram: @lara.heimann Facebook: facebook.com/lara.f.heimann   Online LYT Daily yoga classes with Lara: movementbylara.vhx.tv Redefining Yoga is produced by Podcast Masters Hosted on Acast.

Today I’m talking all about growth mindset, and what better way to grow than to grow within your body and change your movement patterns? In some form or another, I’m always speaking about growth. My husband is currently in the midst of a 10 day silent retreat, and I’m realizing just how much growth that is going to help him grow. Today I’m going to share what growth is, and why it’s so important that we all experience growth in our lives.   To learn more, visit: movementbylara.com   Resources: The Nun Study Check out: movementbylara.com Instagram: @lara.heimann Facebook: facebook.com/lara.f.heimann   Online LYT Daily yoga classes with Lara: movementbylara.vhx.tv Redefining Yoga is produced by Podcast Masters Hosted on Acast.

Today I thought it would be fun to talk about several of the lessons that I have learned from my dogs!
