Navigating Yoga with Hypermobility & Pain | Adrienne Johnson

In this episode, Nikki chats with yoga teacher Adrienne Johnson about considerations for practicing yoga when you have hypermobility or pain.

They discuss:

Adrienne’s personal experiencing starting yoga not realizing that she was hypermobile and how she changed her practice to account for her hypermobility and be able to practice without pain.
The importance of strength training to cross train for yoga – especially if you are hypermobile.
Why the largest range of motion may not be the best option for you even if you’re able to go there
Active versus passive stretching.
How props can help you feel where you are in the poses, increase proprioceptive input / body awareness, and decrease the experience of pain.
