Lights You Up - be fully engaged. 02:00 Lara's background in yoga - a sporty athlete who recognised the mind-body connections after a dance injury. When she ran a marathon her mind gave up before her body. 05:30 My perception of yoga was meditation and stretching. 06:30 Anatomy based yoga. The investigation of the internal workings of our body, A big pillar is eduction - we aren't taught about our bodies. 16:00 Typical vinyasa sequences are lacking intelligence because we are carrying natural imbalances. I do a reset at the start of class - neuro-development patterns,. 12:30 Most people don't use their glutes enough. Retrain neutral pelvis and work the glutes. Stabilise the skeleton with proximal muscles - those closest to your skeleton. 14:00 Working with rowers. We use large muscle groups repetitively. If the underlying stabilisers aren't as strong there will be an imbalance. 20:00 Rowers learn with mimicry. The instruction is so clear you can inhabit and embody it. 21:00 How to be better? How we execute posture, alignment, hip hinge, stabilisation in a plank. Doing it properly. Find the inner hip hinge, plank and lunge.
