This video is so helpful! For years I was excited about flexibility in the Ashtanga class but I saw nothing change in fact only experienced pain in my calves. Pilates on the reformer really taught me to engage muscles, and build resistant tension in each movement, improving my life, my body and yoga practice so much. Light weighted pilates, upping protein, trampoline and dancing to release the fascia and understand elasticity in movement, and longer intermittent fasts (24-36 hours) every three months have completely changed the way I look, think and feel. Structure is very difficult in all areas when your body itself resists structure!
That was brilliant! just standing up for long periods of time can be tiring when hypermobile. i feel abit like the scarecrow off the wizard of oz when dorothy lets him down for the first time. its very stressful for the brain. i only realized i have ehlers danlos hypermobility within the last 6 months and i am 43. i wish i had heard this advice 30 years ago.
