Mandy Ryle: Beyond the Tissue Damage Myth: Transforming Women's Pain Experience
Hi!! I would love to hear from you!The hidden epidemic of chronic pain affects millions, but women in midlife bear a disproportionate burden—often with inadequate support from conventional healthcare. In this episode we discuss this revolutionary understanding of pain science with expert Mandy Ryle, who combines professional expertise with personal experience navigating her own chronic pain journey.Mandy challenges our fundamental understanding of pain, exposing the outdated "mechanistic view" of the body that originated during the Industrial Revolution. This paradigm shift reveals why tissue damage and pain are only loosely correlated—explaining why 40-50...

Yin & Somatics: Stretching Water
We are each granted an amazing opportunity in life to cherish and protect this priceless vessel that we get to live in. I've noticed that when my students learn more about their body they can't help but be in awe of how incredible it is. How unfathomable and amazing is it, that this flesh facilitates our unique and evolving consciousness throughout our lifespan? I've learned over the years, that when people know more about their body they make better choices. And that's what your practice this week is all about. I'd like to help you to understand a little...

Yin & Somatics: Posture Update
Posture is an incredibly loaded topic in our culture. If you've been involved in yoga for any time you've been receiving messages about posture that may not be helping you. We have hundreds of not thousands of sources daily telling us that our bad posture is the cause of maladies such as chronic pain functional movement issues breathing issues and more. The problem with these well meaning sources of advice, is that they are not evidence-based. We don't really have any evidence to show that "poor posture" can cause chronic pain, in fact the opposite is true w...

Yin for Strength?
So… unfortunately, none of the movements in Yin actually achieve the conditions that are required to build strength. BUT! Yin can be an amazing complement to strength training. Active restoration and rest are as essential to building muscle, endurance and stamina as weight training and cardio. Those activities break us down a bit, in a good way! And rest supports the natural regeneration of tissues that allows us not to just get back to where we started, but a little better. Over time this is how we become resilient, how we improve our energy levels and strengthen our tissues. So...

Yin & Somatics: A Hug for Hardworking Hips
This practice is what you need if you've been struggling with tight, uncomfortable hips. In addition to some familiar Yin poses we will also be practicing bits and pieces from a Feldenkrais Method® lesson that I've borrowed. We really tend to vilify tension in our culture. We've got dozens of ways to blast, release, roll and massage this supposed problem. But what if the tension you were experiencing was not exactly what you thought it was? What if it wasn't harmful? What if the strategies you've been using aren't really that effective? I hope to expose you to...

Yin & Somatics: Soothe Upper Back and Neck Tension
To be an adult is to sometimes struggle with upper back and neck tension and even pain. This is my professional opinion. Though this pain/tightness can really disrupt your life, it’s important not to get too tied up about it. This practice is to give you some go to tools for managing this suffering. Knowing that you have a way to feel better, is a medicine in its own right. Though you really feel the need to stretch these tissues, it won’t help. That is my professional opinion. There are better strategies to use, which I will...

Yin for Perfectionists
This is an important practice for all of my fellow sisters and brothers in perfectionism. If you are someone who never feels like they can take a break, who only looks at accomplishments and sees what they didn't do right, who has critical self talk, I hope that you sill spend an hour with me here. Perfectionism is a hard habit to break. Sometimes we even criticize ourselves for being self critical! So I just want you to know that, I see you. I have compassion for you. I’d love to offer you some strategies for developing a bit...

Nerve Flossing Practice for Sciatic Trouble
All of the nerves in our body require a state of sliding and gliding within our tissues. When nerves get stuck, or compressed, they tell us. While the causes of sciatic nerve pain or sciatica are numerous and not terribly well understood. We do know that restoring a suppleness and fluidity to the tissues of the low back, glutes, pelvic floor and thighs can be helpful . To restore or maintain this fluidity, in this practice, we will use a technique known as nerve flossing. I often feel that this technique is used a bit too aggressively, so...

Side Bodies and the Self
This is a very gentle practice focused on the side bodies. I wanted to work with a part of the body that most of us don’t experience too many problems with so that we could really just work with observing sensation. As you move through the poses, I will add another layer to practice. Our true goal is to practice self awareness or interoception. This is an important skill for developing self compassion. The benefits of self compassion go way beyond this practice and well into your life. Developing self compassion is a task that takes some time, and...

Release for Low Back and Hips
I get a lot of requests for practices that focus on the low back and hips. These are notoriously sensitive areas and students really want stretches to address the tightness and pain that they are experiencing. The only issue is, I don't really think stretching is the best way to release these or really any tissues. For this practice, we will do some familiar Yin poses but with a different angle. As you practice you will learn about the important thoracolumbar fascia and hopefully gain some understanding about how to address the stiffness in more helpful ways. P...

If you are suffering from a sore, tight or painful neck, drop everything and hit play. When the neck is in this state, it's not really the time to work with it directly. Now is the time for gentle, effortless movement so we will influence the neck passively by moving the pelvis. This technique is all about neuroplasticity. Your brain has been practicing pain and stiffness for awhile, if we want to de-sensitize, we'll need to teach the brain that the neck CAN move freely and without pain. This practice does just that. And it feels so amazing.

Your spine is the most exquisite structure. Capable of incredible mobility and unparalleled stability, it's been evolving for millions of years and has within it the intelligence of eons.

Your spine is the most exquisite structure. Capable of incredible mobility and unparalleled stability, it's been evolving for millions of years and has within it the intelligence of eons. Yet, if you listen to popular culture and even some Yoga wisdom, the spine is very delicate. It is in need of protection and only truly stable in a few select positions. From my perspective as a Yoga for Pain Care Specialist, this is not just wrong but inestimably harmful. This class is an homage to your spine and the incredible versatility it has. Spend an hour really honoring and...

Yin + Somatics: Foot to Face, A Practice for Neck and Jaw
For me, Somatic Education is an extremely valuable tool for helping my students and clients who suffer from chronic pain. Of particular interest to me are the areas of the neck, shoulder and jaw. This somewhat experimental practice feels incredible but it also illuminates these areas in the body mind in a powerful way using a somatic technique called thumb gliding and traditional Yin poses. Treat this practice like your meditation for the day. You will be amazed at how much more freedom you have in your head and neck.Please have a few pillows and a...

Hey. Here's the deal. My comfort zone seems to be swimming upstream. I like to make things so much harder than they need to be and struggle and strive with every step.

This practice focuses on the experience of feeling both in a sensory way and emotionally.
