5 September 2021

Practicing Yoga during your period

A question that comes up a lot both on the Redefining Yoga Q & A Podcast and in our LYT Yoga Teacher Training is should a person practice yoga during their period? There are those who would say a woman should never practice during menstruation. Eye roll. Then there are those who say you shouldn’t […]

The Triple S

You’ve heard us say it—and you may have even purchased our shirts in the LYT store. Posture F*cking Matters. Now I’m not sure how you could be a LYT lover and not have heard of the Triple S, but just in case, I’m going to break it down for you. 🙂 Triple S is a […]

The science of sweat

Today we’re going to talk about SWEAT. Ewww, gross, right? NO! We love to sweat in LYT! Have you ever wondered why we sweat? What is the science behind perspiration? To put it simply, sweating is our body’s natural air conditioning unit. When our body temperature rises from exercise, heat, stress, or even hormone changes, we sweat […]

Hip labral tears

Many of our LYT Prime regulars and certified LYT Yoga Teachers who’ve taken my Sequencing Lab Modules are well acquainted with my husband, Tim. He’s the 6’2” 210 lb super yogi who could always be found sweating his butt off next to me in Lara’s classes, heard grunting and panting off camera while I taught my 6:00 am T/Th class […]

Barefoot benefits

With rising temperatures and summer just around the corner, barefoot season is here! Now if you’re like me, you find yourself barefoot around the house all the time. We don’t have a “no shoes inside” rule, but it’s typically the first thing I do when I get home. It just feels better to be barefoot! […]

Core container

This week we opened up registration for our LYTⓇ Level 2 Core Module, which is part of our 300-hour LYT yoga teacher training program. The term “core” has been around forever and has morphed over the years into considerably more than it was 20+ years ago when I graduated from physical therapy school. For many years, […]

Plyometrics

Plyometrics

One of the hallmarks from the start that set the LYT Method apart from traditional yoga was Lara’s inclusion of plyometric exercise. As a physical therapist and lover of functional movement, it excited me when I first began taking classes with Lara back in 2012. While plyometrics is a term I use on a daily […]

Relaxation breathing

Feeling stressed out? Anxious? Sleep-deprived? Yeah…me too. This has hands down been the craziest year of my life and I’m sure many people would agree with me. As much as I hate to admit it, sometimes we need more than yoga to relax. Deep breathing is one of the best ways to relax the body […]

Scapular Stability

Scapular stability

When most people think of the shoulder joint, they usually only consider the space where the ball of the upper arm bone (humerus) articulates with the socket of the shoulder blade (scapula). In fact, most people don’t even know the socket is part of the scapula. Furthermore, calling the shoulder a “ball and socket” joint […]

PT corner with Kristin Williams – Tennis Elbow

With the desire to exercise outdoors on the rise, an increase in people playing tennis is to be expected, as people consider it to be rather COVID-friendly: you can maintain social distancing guidelines, and as long as both parties have clean hands, the only physical contact is hand-to-ball during serves. However, with increased time playing […]
