Did someone tell you to stop practicing yoga because of your hypermobility?

I believe it is possible for hypermobile people to practice yoga safely. Here’s how:

How to practice yoga safely as a hypermobile person As someone who teaches yoga with the intention to reduce hypermobile symptoms, I believe it is possible for hypermobile people to practice yoga safely.

Got massage questions? I’m happy to answer them!

Hypermobility and anxiety are highly correlated - I hope answering some questions about what to expect at your massage will help relieve some of that anxiety 😌

Massage FAQs (underwear or no underwear?) I recently became a licensed massage therapist, and some of the stuff I learned in school needs to be public knowledge! It wasn't until my first day of schoo...

Goal achieved! I am officially a licensed massage therapist and am looking forward to offering therapeutic bodywork here in the Austin area.

I currently offer Cupping massage and Relaxation massage. Message me with any questions you may have ☺️

These past couple of months have been a time of trials for my friends, family, and myself. Do you feel the same way? Was it something in the stars?

If you feel that your life has been chaotic, turbulent, or overwhelming, I hope you enjoy this lovely chant of Om Shanti from Chantress Seba. It feels like a balm on the heart 💜

Om Shanti Mantra (1hr) - Deep Meditation Frequency - Channeling For Peace Om shanti is a mantra for peace, peace within and peace without. We invite you to sing the mantra with us or simply let go and listen. Breathe deeply and all...

The simplest way to strengthen in a safe range of motion is to practice your āsana at 70% (or less!) of your current range. For example, don't let your hips fall all the way down in anjayenasana (low lunge). Instead, keep your hips up a few inches above your regular spot, and you will have to use your muscles to keep yourself there. It may feel strange and difficult, and that's OK 👍 Practice, practice, practice

Najprostszym sposobem na wzmocnienie w bezpiecznym zakresie ruchu jest ćwiczenie āsana na 70% (lub mniej!) obecnego zakresu. Na przykład, nie pozwól aby biodra opadły całkowicie w dół w anjayenasana (niski wypad). W zamian, utrzymuj biodra w górze kilka centymetrów nad swoim zwykłym miejscem i będziesz musiała użyć mięśni, aby się tam utrzymać. Może się to wydawać dziwne i trudne, ale nie szkodzi 😌 Ćwicz, ćwicz, ćwicz

If you're super bendy, you might have Hypermobility Spectrum Disorder. Too much flexibility can cause pain. It's important to find balance through strength and stability.

The Downside of Being Flexible: Letting go of the stretch If you’re super bendy, you might have Hypermobility Spectrum Disorder. Too much flexibility can cause pain. It’s important to find balance through strength and stability.
