GRAVITY ...not just a John Mayor song 😝 something I like to think about a lot in yoga. Gravity is always there & i think we often forget about its impact on what we are doing- but it is especially important in yoga when we change our body orientation so frequently. This impacts all sorts of things like blood pressure, breathing patterns and how challenging a movement is for the body. 💥 ASK yourself: is this movement GRAVITY RESISTED...or GRAVITY ASSISTED? 👉Think about this in standing as you lift the arms over head. 👉Then go on your back and repeat the same movement. 💥 Did it feel different?? the motion is the same ( shoulder flexion) but the difference is our body's orientation to GRAVITY!! 😱🙌 Understanding this relationship well can be super helpful in adapting movements to get what you want from them 😊 #gravity #yogaphysics #yogaphysiology #yogaanatomy #gravityassisted #gravityresisted #yogatherapist #yogatherapy #modifications #yoga #yogabiomechanics (at Atlantic City, New Jersey) https://www.instagram.com/p/B7vnCFJn3eN/?igshid=gxmh8s9pi794
