Your Neck Hurts During Core Work Because of This That gripping, clenching sensation in your neck during core work? It's more than tension. It's your body calling in reinforcements for a deep core that's offline. Three areas can take over when your deep core isn't available: your upper traps, the sides of your neck, and the base of your skull. This episode shows you how to release them and how to rebuild true core strength that leaves your neck out of it. Start building strength that feels like yoga. Today.

Chaturanga and Shoulder Injuries Yoga requires strength but doesn't always build it. A good example is shoulder injuries in Chaturanga. You need serratus anterior strength to anchor the shoulder blade and rein in the ribs. #yogaover40 #functionalyoga #yogaforstrength #ShoulderHealth #AnatomyOfYoga https://www.youtube.com/shorts/aUglq-kpR5w via Alison Starr https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCN1EA7RBE5phEX-simSSDnw July 11, 2026 at 09:03PM

Shoulders Back = Low Back Pain It’s frustrating but your attempts to improve your posture aren’t working and the may be making things worse. Why? Because pulling your shoulders back and lifting your chest throws the ribs forward and swings your butt back which compresses the lower back. Plus, it disconnects you from what would actually help: stacking the ribcage and pelvis. Find the fix on the floor. Then recreate it standing. #yogaover40 #yogaforstrength #functionalyoga #womenover40 #functionalfitness #yogastrong #asanastrong https://www.youtube.com/shorts/hwSFYzfiDo8 via Alison Starr https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCN1EA7RBE5phEX-simSSDnw July 11, 2026 at 04:53AM
