Dr. Ariele Foster: Wellilo Physical Therapy + Yoga

I will be leading a free webinar on Sunday evening that I wish I could have taken 20 years ago. This is for anyone who has ever been injured and how we can start or return to exercise (including yoga) AND avoid re-injury or overdoing it (or underdoing it). Hope to see you there! Here's the registration link: my.yogaanatomyacademy.com/webinar/physio-wisdom-to…

Dr. Ariele Foster: Wellilo Physical Therapy + Yoga

I learned some things this week about managing dizziness while exercising and had to share!

Symptoms of dysautonomia, like orthostatic hypotension, came up a lot when I was teaching yoga, or when talking with patients who had to give up yoga.

This post highlights simple, practical, non-pharmacological ways to manage POTS, dizziness, lightheadedness and more.

I hope you'll give it a read and share widely with anyone you know who is affected!

I'm teaching a LIVE Online workshop Monday 6:30pm EST (sliding scale) on how to get YOUR Deep squat in gear.
To squat low like this is a skill.
It is a form of rest.
It is a marker of longevity.
It is how billions move bowels.
And it is sometimes elusive.

If your squat could use a boost, come to my online workshop Monday 6:30pm EST: Deep Squat Decoded.

I’ve been wanting to teach this subject for a while and all the pieces finally came together.

Registration is sliding scale.
No yoga experience is required (bring your fam and friends).

Related to the video that I uploaded yesterday, I wrote out some thoughts on why it's totally ok to practice yoga online -- and how going to in person classes is unlikely to provide a magical fix to the problem if you have pain during yoga asana.
Writing can be quite tedious for me -- especially this subject! But I got inspired by a social media post and the comment section within.
And as you may know, I want to shift the culture around modern yoga to be more honest with itself about its limitations and strengths, and to let go of some of its magical thinking that what we call yoga is a cure all to everything.
Please let me know your thoughts: yogaanatomyacademy.com/are-in-person-classes-bette…

I uploaded a mini-talk about some of the yoga conversation that I've seen online... a blog post about the specifics of this topic is coming soon.
The backstory is this: a young man was doing yoga at home, with an online teacher and had some pain in down dog.
Instead of saying "maybe get your pain checked out by someone qualified", there was an overwhelming amount of comments saying he needed to go to in-person classes, that somehow taking online yoga classes was the problem.
Or that he needed to take private lessons.
Again, not getting to the heart of the issue, which was that he had pain in downward facing dog.
But maybe...and hear me out here...that doesn't solve the issue? Just moves the goal post and makes people think they are never doing enough.
Aren't we done with that?? Truly, your thoughts are welcome below.
