22 | Why I Never Teach Seated Forward Folds

Today I am discussing the forward fold! Seated forward folds specifically are a move that I do not do, nor do I teach, and today we are going to explore why. Yogi or not, this episode will be very beneficial to listen to, as I explain my movement patterns outside of my studio and off the mat as well.
