SUMMARY:CE Workshop | The Myth of Yoga and Flexibility
DESCRIPTION:As yoga teachers\, an assumption we often hear from non-practitioners is that they are not “flexible enough” for yoga; in reality\, placing too much emphasis on stretching may actually be harming our students in the long run. Join Yogi Aaron\, creator of AYAMA (Applied Yoga Anatomy + Muscle Activation™️)\, as he disputes the flexibility myth and explains why we should place focus on activating and strengthening muscles instead. Come ready to gain a new perspective on stretching\, flexibility\, and yoga that will transform how you teach and practice.\n \nIn this workshop you will learn:\n \n· How stretching disconnects the body and mind\, weakens the muscles\, and causes misalignment\, instability\, and chronic pain\n· A popular yoga pose you may want to avoid teaching\, and why\n· A simple muscle activation practice for you and your students to instantly feel stronger and more stable in the body
