Today host Rachel speaks with returning guest Jenni Tarma about hypermobility disorders, which appear more often in yoga students than in the general population.
In this episode, Jenni describes the wide range of symptoms linked to hypermobility, some of the challenges yoga teachers face when working with students on this spectrum, as well as how yoga can help. Since hypermobility disorders can bring up both physical and mental symptoms, we talk about the importance of incorporating nervous system down-regulation practices, as well as those incorporating tactile external feedback.
Listen to this episode to learn why we could all benefit from getting more comfortable with a moderate range of motion and how to best help your hypermobile yoga students.
