Ep 225 Adam Keen – Yoga Beyond the Stretch

Adam delves into the complex sensations associated with stretching in yoga. He discusses the importance of understanding the right kind of stretch, emphasizing that the feeling of stretch can often be misleading. Instead of seeking the immediate sensation of stretching, Adam encourages practitioners to focus on creating a sense of pressure and energy within the body. He explores the balance between body awareness and mental engagement, highlighting the need for a deeper connection to the body's energy. The conversation also touches on the nuances of pain and discomfort in practice, offering insights on how to navigate these sensations effectively.

"Pain is a sign to back off."
