Tapas – The Fire That Transforms
This July, we turn our focus inward to explore the concept of Tapas, one of the Niyamas in the yogic path, often translated as "discipline," "austerity," or more poetically, "the inner fire." Tapas is the heat that builds when we commit to a practice—especially when it’s uncomfortable. It’s what keeps us coming back to our mat, to our breath, and to ourselves when things feel overwhelming.
Yoga and Hypermobility
Hypermobility means your joints can move beyond the normal range of motion. The connective tissue or fascia around the joints are very flexible.
The Story of My Pelvis
The story of our pelvis is a combination of what we learn from our families, friends and media, the actions of others, and our physical health. Messages about our menstural cycle and sexuality are especially important. Sexual assult is so common in American society, I can't help but wonder the cumulative effects. Naturally if part of the body has been injured or hurt, there is a natural guarding. After years of guarding, the muscles shorten and become tense. Our pelvic floor muscles work in tandem with other muscles groups. Tightness in one area can affect the entire system.
