Stretching isn't the best for tight hamstrings...❌Instead, strengthening the hamstrings can be effective in reducing both pain and tightness! Stretching may actually increase irritation to the muscle. Specific strengthening exercises can make your hamstrings feel flexible and mobile again. One of the main reasons muscles become tight is due to weakness. Your body then turns to tightening the muscle to achieve stability. This is why hamstring strengthening can be incredibly effective. Join Dr. Alyssa Kuhn, physical therapist and osteoarthritis specialist as she takes you through 4 hamstring strengthening exercises to reduce tightness, pain and injury. Choose one of these or all of them to start focusing on. The key is making sure the exercises feel good. Follow us on social media: Website: https://keeptheadventurealive.comFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/adventurealivePrivate Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/adventurealiveInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/adventurealive/Pinterest: https://www.pinterest.com/adventurealive/_created/Subscribe to our YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/alyssaadventurealivePodcast: https://osteoarthritis.buzzsprout.comAmazon store: https://amazon.com/shop/adventurealiveDisclaimer: This video is for general informational purposes only.

Yogi Aaron's journey in the yoga world began in the mid-1990s, a time when the practice was gaining traction globally. Practicing alongside notable individuals like Wade Morrison and witnessing the rise of brands such as Lululemon, Yogi Aaron has seen the yoga community evolve over the years. He takes pride in Lululemon's international success, particularly given its Canadian roots. Born into a "hippy dippy" family, Aaron's early years were steeped in alternative spiritual practices, including time spent at a spiritual healing center in Vancouver. This background clashed with his Christian evangelical upbringing, creating an internal conflict that would later shape his approach to yoga and spirituality. Challenges and Transformations As Aaron aged, he noticed his body tightening and saw yoga as a solution for maintaining mobility. Initially, his practice focused on physical stretching and hardcore power yoga. However, a pivotal moment came when Wade Morrison commented that Aaron lacked true practice. This critique pushed Aaron to seek a deeper understanding and more profound guidance in yoga. Aaron's yoga practice not only improved his physical flexibility but also enhanced his mental focus, helping him manage his attention deficit disorder. His formative years at a boys' boarding school in Alberta, filled with outdoor activities, had taught him the importance of managing his energy effectively. Despite early improvements, Aaron faced worsening back problems due to incorrect adjustments and stretching practices in yoga. These injuries led him to delve deeper into yoga beyond physical postures, exploring its spiritual dimensions.  He studied with various influential yoga teachers, including Rod Stryker, Rajmani Tigunait, and Alan Finger, embracing the deeper, spiritual aspects of yoga. This journey took him beyond physical poses to a greater understanding of energy management and enlightenment. Innovations in Yoga Practice Aaron's commitment to yoga, despite significant injuries, led him to question traditional practices and seek new understanding. He discovered muscle activation techniques, which provided profound insights into biomechanics and muscle function. This newfound knowledge transformed his approach to yoga, shifting the focus from traditional stretching and alignment practices to proper body mechanics and muscle activation. Recognizing the need to challenge misconceptions in the yoga world, Aaron began to understand his body's pain and stiffness, particularly in his hamstrings. This exploration led him to integrate muscle activation techniques into yoga, aiming to replace traditional stretching with muscle activation.  Aaron discovered that muscle tightness, such as in the hamstrings, is a protective mechanism due to other muscles not contracting properly. True mobility and stability, he realized, come from muscles contracting and shortening correctly, not lengthening. To bring this biomechanical awareness into yoga, Aaron developed the A.Y.A.M.A. (Applied Yoga Anatomy and Muscle Activation) method. His teachings emphasize the importance of proper body mechanics and muscle activation for true mobility and stability. Aaron's Blue Osa Yoga Retreat & Spa serves as a sanctuary for yoga teachers, individual retreat-goers, and hosts his yoga teacher training sessions. To distance his yoga retreat from his previous naked men's yoga group, he rebranded himself from Aaron Star to Yogi Aaron. He leverages online platforms like YouTube and the Yogi Club to provide content and courses on becoming pain-free. Commitment to a Pain-Free Life A key message in Aaron's teachings is the importance of finding a real teacher who challenges and inspires growth. Despite facing resistance and skepticism from the yoga community due to his unconventional views on stretching, Aaron remains steadfast in his mission. His book "Stop Stretching" and his teachings aim to help people live pain-free lives. For those interested in exploring Yogi Aaron's innovative approach to yoga and mobility, his website, yogiaaron.com, serves as a comprehensive hub. Here, visitors can access his book, podcast, and free resources, including a "7 Days to Becoming Pain-Free" series. Aaron's commitment is clear: to help anyone who comes into his space live their best pain-free life. In this podcast, you will learn about: The emphasis of Yogi Aaron's A.Y.A.M.A. method on muscle activation and proper body mechanics over traditional stretching. The integration of physical flexibility, mental focus, and spiritual understanding in Aaron's journey, enhancing overall well-being and managing attention deficit disorder. The impact of significant injuries on Aaron's shift to muscle activation techniques, transforming his approach to yoga and mobility. Aaron's use of YouTube and the Yogi Club to provide courses like "7 Days to Becoming Pain-Free," aimed at helping people live pain-free lives. The focus of Aaron's trainings and retreats on proper biomechanics and muscle activation for achieving true mobility. And much more.

Is it possible that stretching is useless, or even counterproductive? .

About Sherry Shaban: Montreal-based podcaster, YouTuber and fitness and life coach, Sherry Shaban, is an NSCA Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist (CSCS), a certified Athletic Therapist, an Osteopath, and the Director of Fitness for Rock Thomas's M1 Mastermind. With over 20 years of experience in her specialty, Sherry has dedicated her life to helping thousands of people transform their Athletic identity to become who they are meant to be through a unique anti-diet, self loving, simple approach. Sherry believes that our physical body is the direct reflection of our internal environment and that transformation happens from the inside out. Sherry's passion of helping others through their own health & wellness transformation journey stems from her own trials and tribulations: at the tender age of 16, Sherry was hit by a car, and the outcome of that accident nearly left her paralyzed. She underwent her first back surgery one month before her 17th birthday.  The second surgery in 2012 came at a time when she was just opening her first CrossFit gym in Montreal.  She was rushed to the hospital by ambulance where she discovered she was just 2 millimeters away from paralysis. Through private coaching, her signature online coaching programs, "Making Peace with Food" and "Advanced PowHer", her YouTube workouts and podcast, Sherry works with a diverse population of Athletes - from beginners to professionals athletes.  She believes that we all have an obstacle - whether it be a struggle with injury, weight, past traumas or limiting beliefs.  “Overcoming the obstacle first starts with changing our belief systems,” she says. “If we think we can't, then we will always be right.” Sherry has been featured on various podcast shows such as Stop Stretching with Yogi Aaron, Leader's Lab with Ken Eslick, The Wellness Hour with Dr Amy Novotny, and Mission Matters. What We Discuss In This Episode: Sherry shares her powerful journey where for the first few years of being a gym owner, she felt like a phony. She was frustrated with herself, disappointed and angry for being a “victim” of her circumstances, unable to demonstrate a single squat.  But her turning point towards recovery came from understanding that one of the central elements to transformation is to let go of debilitating and self-limiting thoughts, and to begin to rewrite a new story. Sherry has made it her life mission to help others do the same: releasing self-doubt, create a new belief system and athletic identity, and become the person they are always meant to be. Sherry refers to her clients as “Athletes,” helping them unplug from diet culture and exercise-punishment, and step into a new relationship with their body, mind and environment.  She helps her Athletes view food as fuel for performance, recovery and transformation and their training as a lifestyle ritual that becomes a basis of the Athletic mindset. We discuss “Fat Loss 101”, which is a big thing for women in perimenopause, even postmenopausal. Mindset definitely plays a role. Sherry loves this topic as she's often asked, “How do you eat? How do you count your calories? What are your macros? Or what are your what is your exercise?” Sherry is an intuitive eater, an intuitive mover, and an intuitive exerciser. When we're focused on diet, and especially if we're following an app or we're following a particular handout that our nutritionist gave us, we're bypassing the body's natural intuitive cues as to when we should eat, how much we should eat, and when we should stop eating. In North America and in Western societies where we have the most abundance of foods, and we have the most abundance and information -- and the most abundance of different types of diet, it's interesting that we're the ones struggling the most with disease. We're the ones who are struggling the most with overweight and with health. Why is that? Because we are so confused. Fat Loss 101 has to start with releasing diets because diets don't work. What does work, though, is starting to add habits that align with your lifestyle that you can find them sustainable over time. With a diet mentality, we usually have the mindset of, “Oh, I can't have cake this week, because I'm on a diet,” or  you go to a barbecue, and it's “I can't have that glass of wine, or I can't have a  second helping of food because I'm sticking to the macros on my app.” Whenever we say the word can't in our mind, what we're really saying is that we want it, but we're not allowing ourselves to have it.  So, ditch diets & start to incorporate habits that are sustainable. Sherry says one of the best habits, that is really the gift that keeps on giving, is walking. All you need is a pair of shoes, you go outside, you connect with nature, you disconnect with the electronics, everything else at home. And as you're walking as you're moving, it is such a low intensity movement, that it's not going to stress the joints, and it's going to just give you pleasure. We also talk about hormones – the two most important hormones relating to weight are insulin and cortisol. Sherry shares what they are, what they do, and the impact on our lives if they're out of balance. Also, when we're stressed, it's hard to fall asleep, or when we've watched a movie or watch news that's extremely disturbing, it starts to impact the rest of our day and gets in the way of our sleep. When we sacrifice our sleep, and we don't get proper rest and restful sleep, what ends up happening is we start to deeply even imbalanced the hormones and start on that vicious cycle of cravings and hunger. We touched on intermittent fasting – a huge topic in the health and wellness space right now -- and how we can receive benefits from intermittent fasting in as little as 12 hours. “The sky's the limit.

I love when new information comes in to challenge my teachings or the current narrative in my mind and Yogi Aaron is just that kind of guy. Aaron has spent 30 plus years studying the ancient teachings of yoga as well as modern and scientific practices that promote pain-free living on all levels of self — physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual. Through this journey, Aaron has developed a new philosophy of practicing yoga called Applied Yoga Anatomy Muscle Activation. This practice teaches us to stop stretching, because stretching may be causing more problems than it is helping. So how do we integrate this new information, as a teacher and as a practitioner? That's where the real journey happens. How can you take potentially contradictory knowledge to what you have been taught and practicing, to see how, or if, you can integrate it into your practice? In todays exchange, Aaron talks to us about why stretching is bad for you and how we can shift the paradigm of stretching in yoga to focus more on the activation of the agonist or contracting muscle, rather than the lengthening of the antagonist or muscle that is being lengthened. This was a very informative conversation for me that has left me a lot to marinate on. ~Obeisance~ Connect with Yogi Aaron Website I YogiAaron.com Facebook I @Yogi.Aaron.Yoga Instagram I @Yogi_Aaron YouTube I @YogiAaron Podcast I Stop Stretching Books by Yogi Aaron Connect with Adam Riehl Website I ⁠⁠⁠⁠AdamRiehlHealing.com⁠⁠⁠⁠ Facebook I ⁠⁠⁠⁠facebook.com/adamriehlhealing⁠⁠⁠⁠ Instagram I ⁠⁠⁠⁠@adamriehlhealing⁠⁠⁠⁠ Youtube I ⁠⁠⁠⁠youtube.com/user/adamriehl/videos⁠⁠⁠⁠ Email I adamriehl1@gmail.com Another Podcast by Adam Riehl I ⁠⁠⁠⁠Zen and Not Zen⁠⁠⁠⁠ Adam Sound Bath Events I ⁠⁠⁠⁠AdamRiehlHealing.com/Events⁠⁠⁠⁠ Subscribe and Share ⁠⁠⁠⁠Anchor⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠Breaker⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠Google Podcasts⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠Apple Podcasts⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠Pocket Casts⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠RadioPublic⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠Spotify --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/adam-riehl7/support

Yogi Aaron is the co-Owner of Blue Osa Yoga Retreat & Spa in Costa Rica and is trailblazing a new path in the world of yoga by flipping the script. His teachings aim to help as many people as possible live a pain-free life so they can realize yoga's true intentions. He is the creator of the revolutionary approach to yoga — Applied Yoga Anatomy + Muscle Activation™ (AYAMA) and the online platform: The Yogi Club, host of the yoga podcast ‘Stop Stretching', author of ‘Autobiography of a Naked Yogi' and the forth-coming book ‘Stop Stretching! A New Yogic Approach To Master Your Body + Live Pain-Free'.Highlights:1. Stress, trauma and overuse are major contributors to pain2. A deep understanding of anatomy and muscle function results in being wary of stretching with the goal of being flexible 3. Pain can be exacerbated by stretching; stop stretching and use muscle activation instead (see the link below)4. Stretching lowers the proprioception between the brain and the muscle; AYAMA does the opposite5. Yoga is THE answer to so many human problems as it trains us that all the answers that we need are already within us6. The premise of yoga is twofold: 1) We all have a life purpose and 2) we often struggle living out this purpose because we get in our own way7. We are geniuses at creating our own suffering; yoga can relieve us from this suffering by awakening our potential and revealing our brilliance8. The practice of yoga doesn't have to require a lot of time; it can occur in a pause, a breath9. A key teaching in yoga is about stability – without mental stability, you can't focus your energy on your goals10. Stop Stretching!

One of the most sought-after teachers today, Yogi Aaron is trailblazing a new path in the world of yoga. Known for his unorthodox perspectives on stretching and flexibility and how both cause more harm than good, his teachings aim to help as many people as possible live a pain-free life so they can realize yoga's true intentions. Yogi Aaron shares his story and explains why yoga is so important and also discusses stretching your mind and opening space to be able to look at things differently   KEY TAKEAWAYS There is no reference to stretching in yoga A lack of muscle function creates a lack of stability leading to inflammation and pain, you need to have mind-muscle activation For a muscle to lengthen the opposite muscle needs to shorten properly A lot of yoga is building mind, body connection and this denotes a conscious connection Building stability and the connection between the mind and body lowers inflammation and pain When you approach workouts with activation it changes everything My goal is to put the script out into the yoga world about stretching and flexibility I want people to feel their purpose is knocking at the door of their hearts and is waiting to be acknowledged I'm always trying to stretch my mind, keep it light and look at things differently    BEST MOMENTS ‘I feel people have forgotten what muscle function is about' ‘We want to fortify the connection between mind and body as much as possible' ‘For me, yoga has been one of the most powerful practices'   RESOURCES FOR THIS EPISODE https://yogiaaron.com/ Stop Stretching podcast ‘https://amzn.to/3xHJmMk Get your copy of Yogi Aaron's book, "Stop Stretching!

For decades, we have been conditioned to take stretching as a critical part of yoga. But what if stretching is the main culprit to our pain? Do you ever notice that even when we've stretched the pain out as we are often told, it always seems to come back. And stretching is often recommended as a way to relieve muscle and joint tension. However, it might not be doing your body the justice it needs. Stretching has been shown to increase the risk of injuries, specifically those involving the hip or lower back. Today we are debunking that myth and learning that all that stretching is actually hurting us! When we stretch, we are actually turning off that muscle, deactivating it and setting it up for vulnerability through a neuromuscular relaxation reflex.  Instead, using the principles of AYAMA (applied yoga anatomy and muscle activation) we will respect the muscles neurologic protective mechanism, create strength and stability, and eliminate chronic pain to live a pain free life!  In this episode of Fall in love with Fitness, Yogi Aaron shares with me how we can live pain-free purposeful lives and heal from our pain without stretching. He also expounds on how to use Ayama to promote better muscle function, more stability, and less pain. What You'll Learn from this Episode: The evolution of yoga and how we got to stretching How to use Ayama to activate your muscles, get more stability and less pain What to consider when looking for a teacher to reduce yoga injuries How to cultivate the inner knowing and the direct experience of oneness And much more! “Stretching against your pain creates more stress and trauma in your body” – Yogi Aaron Topics Covered: 01:17 – About Aaron's podcast, ‘Stop Stretching Podcast.' 03:26 – When stretching became a vital component of health and fitness 06:27 – People's response to “no more stretching in fitness.” 09:17 –   How to live pain-free so that we can live our purpose 12:39 – Ayama technique and how you can use it to activate your muscles 14:27 – The language of the body and how to effectively listen to it 16:08 – Aaron's advice on what to look for in a yoga teacher 19:20 –  The dark side of yoga 23:40 – Don't hold expectations; you're responsible for your transformation 25:54 – How to be the change and help others shift their philosophy 28:12 – The addiction to stretching and how it hurts people 29:56 – Aaron's advice to anyone in a career that requires flexibility 33:13 – Aaron's final words of inspiration 34:14 – How to reach out and connect with Aaron Key Takeaways When we stretch our pain out, it will always come back. The greatest loss in humanity is a person who doesn't know their purpose. Stretching against your pain creates more stress and trauma in your body. It's not a yoga teacher's job to fill expectations for students; their role is to guide them in yoga. A real range of motion is when you've both movement and stability in a joint.

After 20+ years of asking, seeking, exploring, studying, experimenting, Yogi Aaron can confidently say, he's found many answers, but more important than that, he discovered a simple and effective technique to alleviate pain! He says it's easy to incorporate in any yoga practice or any movement activity to ensure we continue to live pain-free into our third age.He calls his system AYAMA-- Applied Yoga Anatomy + Muscle Activation™. (AYAMA), is a revolutionary way to practice yoga that focuses on activating and engaging muscles rather than stretching them. As you might imagine, his journey to pain free started with pain. Lots of different kinds of pain in different places and it all began while he was still in his 20s. No amount of massage, therapists, yoga teachers, could help him get relief.His relief was found in learning about how muscles work and how to stabilize the body muscle by muscle.You don't need to study anatomy to make use of his system. Aaron is easy to follow and has step by step guidance for doing postures safely on Youtube, and in his Yogi Club, an online membership portal. He offers a free, 15-day trial which I've just signed up for.(Not for nothing Peloton but your classes have gotten predictable, and I need something new.) It's only $15/month after 15 days or $99/yr. I'll come back here and do a quick review of my experience. If you happen to be a person with chronic pain there is a 15-day pain free challenge.Speaking of pain free, one of Yogi Aaron's missions in life is to help as many people live pain free as possible.“It lights me up to imagine a world free from pain. When we feel good in our bodies, we can then focus on discovering and manifesting our life purpose. And, living our purpose is what we're here to do!”I asked how pain free equaled manifesting and living our purpose and here's what he told me.“When I have experienced chronic pain, everything in my life then becomes about that pain. How do I get rid of it? How do I feel better? Yeah. And from a yoga perspective, then all of my energy, all of my mental energy and my prana, my life force energy is directed there, rather than being directed to living my life purpose.”Makes sense to me.We talked about the responsibility we have to ourselves to take care of our bodies and what that looks like. And the importance of asking why something hurts, what's at the root and how can we give the body what it needs to relieve that pain.No pain no gain is not in his system, and I think you'd agree, especially as we pile on the years, pushing through pain is not the best idea.Yogi has a beautiful retreat center in Costa Rica where he lives full time. If you are a yoga instructor and want to add AYAMA to your repertoire take a look at the courses he has here.He also runs teacher training.As I age my body has let me know that I must pay attention to how I move regardless of what I used to be able to do. I love Yogi Aaron's AYAMA because it brings awareness into each movement and helps me being stability to my body. A more stable musculature equals prevention from injury, falls, and lack of focus on what's important.

For Beyond 50's "Natural Healing" talks, listen to an interview with Yogi Aaron. After a brush with a spinal fusion, he began to ask, Why are we stretching, and how much flexibility do we really need? In his quest to answer this question, Yogi Aaron discovered a shocking truth: The fitness industry's obsession with stretching is causing unnecessary, catastrophic pain and injury. It's time to stop the flexibility madness. Yogi Aaron used conventional wisdom to develop simple techniques to activate your muscles and strengthen your neuro-muscular system so you can finally swap pain and injuries for stability and strength. He calls his system, Applied Yoga Anatomy and Muscle Activation (AYAMA). Tune in to Beyond 50: America's Variety Talk Radio Show on the natural, holistic, green and sustainable lifestyle.

In this episode I am chatting with Yogi Aaron who, not surprisingly, is a yoga teacher. But he is a yoga teacher who wants to tell us to STOP STRETCHING!! You can understand, as a yoga teacher myself, that I was very intrigued by this theory and so I ask him all about this stance. Why is it doing us harm to endlessly stretch our muscles? How can we practice safely so that we do not experience pain? What can we focus on within our practice to find the stability that the body needs in order to be pain free? All these and more, we discuss!If you would like to check out Yogi Aaron there are many ways - firstly, check him out on YouTube, then you can order his book "Stop Stretching" and when you have taken all that in you could experience his teaching first hand at his beautiful yoga retreat in Costa Rica, Blue Osa!Enjoy!

One of the most sought-after teachers today, Yogi Aaron is trailblazing a new path in the world of yoga. Known for his unorthodox perspectives on stretching and flexibility and how both cause more harm than good, his teachings aim to help as many people as possible live a pain-free life so they can realize yoga's true intentions. On this show, Yogi Aaron is my guest, and we're going to discuss his revolutionary and unconventional yogic ideas. You will learn new things about how your body works. I confess that I know very little about yoga. But, I have gone to chiropractors for many years and I managed a chiropractor's office for several years and learned quite a bit about the body. So, when Yogi Aaron contacted me about being a guest, and wanted to discuss his book “Stop Stretching”, I was definitely intrigued. Let's dive into why he says we should stop stretching, how he came to that conclusion and what we should do instead. (I'll let you know now, I've extended an invitation to accept listener questions and to invite him back for a question and answer session to discuss questions listeners send for him. Send them to readyforloveradio@gmail.com)

Creating stability with better yoga practices seems obvious, but Applied Yoga Anatomy and Muscle Activation (AYAMA) is still a relatively [un]known way to get there.  And guess what?... to have a more #painfreelife , Yogi Aaron teaches Yoga that makes you STOP stretching, gets to the root cause of your pain, and yields the highest long-term results for your #body by using integrative muscle technique (IMT) In your yoga practice.To connect with Yogi Aaron go to:   yogiaaron.comAnd (**HUGE ANNOUNCEMENT**) watch this episode on our NEW YouTube channel:   youtube.com/@uncommonmed✅ Please go like and subscribe!!

When we are in pain, we can't do anything in our lives. When we feel instability in our bodies, that instability ravages the mind. We can't focus on anything else because all we can think about is how to get rid of this pain. Our body is the vehicle that we live in throughout our life. If you wear out your body, where are you going to live? So where do we go from here? The last episode of STOP Stretching is about YOU - you will hear some AMAZING testimonials from students who have trained in AYAMA with me. They are regular people who are just like YOU. They love Yoga and had originally understood yoga to be all about flexibility and stretching. After spending some time learning with me and experiencing the profound effects of AYAMA on the body, their understanding of yoga, and safe movement has completely transformed! I will share some deeper insight into how AYAMA fits perfectly with the yoga paradigm, and if you practice yoga correctly, what you can possibly achieve.  We will also wrap up the contents you have been learning over the past episodes and help you how you should practice yoga.  Yogi Aaron is the creator of AYAMA — Applied Yoga Anatomy + Muscle Activation™, has been teaching yoga for 30+ years, is a bestselling author, and owner and yoga director at Blue Osa Yoga Retreat in Costa Rica. A revolutionary at heart, he's on a mission to get people back in touch with the true essence of yoga, flip the script on stretching, and help humanity live pain-free!

And how often have lazy hip flexor stretches every provided long-term relief? EXACTLY MY POINT! Tight hip flexors have been blamed for low back pain for far too long. "Stretch your psoas" they say. But it just doesn't work! Your back pain or sciatica continues! This is because stretching your hip flexors or psoas for low back pain is often a huge waste of time. A tight muscle is a weak muscle and many people do not strengthen their hip flexors at all. This leaves you stretching a weak muscle hoping it will change, but it never does and your pain persists. Strengthening your hips and improving your function will however change the tightness of your hips and possibly improve the way your low back or sciatica feels. So in this video I show you why "tight hip flexors" is a joke of a diagnosis, and what you can do instead to actually get results!

Episode 6 - “Just because you can, doesn't mean you should.”   As we discussed in previous episodes, stretching is actually hurting your body. By passively lengthening your muscles, you are breaking the connection the brain has to that muscle, disrupting the neuromuscular connection. When you think about it, stretching is the exact opposite of enhancing or improving muscle function.   In terms of yoga postures, there are three poses at the top of the list that you should never do. But there is one (probably your favorite one) that is literally ruining your body. Why? Because you are overstretching. And once again, overstretching can cause you serious problems in the long term.    In this episode of STOP Stretching! you will gain a deeper understanding of why stretching is not good for you, what happens if the muscle is overstretched, and what yoga postures you should avoid to keep your body healthy in the long term. You will understand the reason behind the destruction of these asanas and how to modify them for good. I also introduce you to one of my favorite yoga poses and I show you the best resting asanas that will keep your muscles stable.    Yogi Aaron is the creator of AYAMA — Applied Yoga Anatomy + Muscle Activation™, has been teaching yoga for 30+ years, is a bestselling author, and owner and yoga director at Blue Osa Yoga Retreat in Costa Rica.

Episode 5 -  Have you ever wondered where the “yoga is stretching” madness comes from? The history of yoga is complicated and extends back thousands of years. It started simply with the aim of unifying the body, mind, and spirit. Fast forward to today… and here we are: thinking that yoga is about stretching and flexibility, and that if you can't touch your toes, you're not a “good yogi”.   In this episode of Stop Stretching! we dive deep into the history of yoga and uncover where, when, why and how this obsession with stretching came about. You will hear about the original yogis, the very first yoga posture, the rise of Hatha Yoga, and how yoga has evolved into an ‘exercise routine' made up of fancy poses practiced by people wearing spandex.   After understanding yoga's ancient roots and debunking our modern-day way of practicing, you'll learn there are only 2 things you need to practice yoga — and they have nothing to do with stretching and flexibility!   Yogi Aaron is the creator of AYAMA — Applied Yoga Anatomy + Muscle Activation™, has been teaching yoga for 30+ years, is a bestselling author, and owner and yoga director at Blue Osa Yoga Retreat in Costa Rica.

Does stretching have a time and place…yes, my argument is that as adults we should spend more time building the strength required to have full range of motion then if we do stretch we'll be set up for success.
