Should We Always Listen to Our Body?
Manage episode 358532372 series 2994713
Yoga teacher Jenni Rawlings and Exercise Science professor Travis Pollen discuss what research suggests about whether we should truly “always listen to our body”.
Points of discussion include:
- A review of interoception
- Do yoga & mindfulness practices actually improve interoception?
- What’s the connection between interoception and anxiety?
- Does what we feel in our body necessarily reflect what is actually taking place in our body?
- Do feelings of back stiffness correlate to actual biomechanical back stiffness?
- The conundrum of treating pain in a rehab context when pain does not necessarily correlate with tissue damage
- Should rehab exercises be painful or not painful?
- Is the sensation we feel at the end of a stretch an accurate reflection of the mechanical end range of our tissue’s length?
- What role does interoception play in athletic performance?
- Do elite runners have better interoception than non-runners?
- …And much more!
Enjoy this engaging and eye-opening discussion for yoga, movement, and fitness geeks!
