Show Notes

Do you (really) understand the relationship between stretching and strengthening? Yoga teacher and physical therapist Ferris Fakhoury sets us straight about the relationship between these two concepts. (Hint - they aren’t opposites).

She also drops wisdom about:

  • Changes in our understanding about the human body that are happening in both the PT and yoga worlds.
  • How to determine healthy and unhealthy movement patterns in yoga
  • Why she believes that beginners are best served by starting out with private sessions.
  • Her thoughts on the purpose of training flexibility
  • How our verbal cues impact the way our students feel about their bodies and their poses.
