Build Mobility Into Your Life

We need movement to keep our minds, bodies, and hearts functioning optimally. And it can be healing to move often and in different ways.

Yoga is one of many practices that helps us strengthen, stretch, balance and improve our mobility. We learn to move effortlessly and mindfully, letting each action originate from our breath, our center, and the extension and flow of our spine. This helps counter the stresses from our daily repetitive motions and the effects of trauma, gravity, and aging. Moving from deep within and with kindness towards ourselves, we can find inner stillness and release accumulated tensions in our nervous systems.

Advanced yogi's may look like they're tying themselves up in knots, but that's never the goal– we tend to already be all wound up on the inside. When we move with awareness, yoga helps us unknot ourselves from the inside out and to calm our revved nervous systems. Standing on your head isn't important; letting go painful habits, self-regulating, being content, well, and connected is. The ultimate goals of yoga are to create connection, wisdom, and happier living.

There's great creativity in movement, and infinite ways to move your body. Whatever your chosen activity, when you move, notice how it makes you feel. When you move often and in the best ways for you, instead of creating tension and pain, you can create ease and joy. So try standing several times in the day, take the stairs, ride your Peloton, do Yoga, swim, dance, or whatever you can do and prefer, and know you can create a healthier you.
