In this episode, John continues the five day immersion course. He pulls us away from the belief that we must accomplish advanced poses to achieve healing. Ultimately, it’s that thought process and motion that causes more harm than healing.John focuses on movement in this week’s lesson as one of the three pillars to address body, mind and heart. He explains that the more fluid you are, the more alive you are and your youth is restored. He shares an example of an eight-hour surfing trip he credits to healthy movement.The second half of the lesson is broken down into understanding your anatomy. John teaches us that we are all the same in our basic anatomy, but our structures are unique. Once you understand your structure you can understand your limits in movement and the optimal motion for increased mobility.Key TakeawaysOverview of day one of the 5-day immersion (2:00)Yoga is more than poses (2:49)Importance of movement (3:34)The biggest miss on the power of the practice (7:31)Doing the practice to support you (9:19)We are all the same, and we are all different (11:10)Tension vs compression (14:32)Relationship between mind and movement (16:20)2nd pillar is mediation (22:40)Additional ResourcesFollow the immersion course on Facebook at hereIf you haven't already, be sure to join our Facebook Group!
