If you wake up stiff most mornings and have started to assume that's just part of getting older, there's a physiological explanation, and it's more changeable than you'd think.
This is the first episode in a five-part series taking you behind the scenes of the Lifelong Yoga Method, one pillar of movement longevity at a time. Today it's joint-freeing mobility, and why Mikah starts almost every class she teaches right here. She covers what your cartilage needs to stay healthy, why small and gentle movement does more than it looks like it's doing, and the three places we lose mobility most as we age.
If you've been told your stiffness is just arthritis, or you've assumed that movement has to be hard to be worth doing, this episode is for you.
In this episode, you'll learn:
Why cartilage depends on movement in a way most tissue in your body doesn't
The reason your joints feel stiffest first thing in the morning
Why gentle, small-range movement is doing more for your joints than intense exercise
The three places we lose mobility most with age, and what each one affects
