Is Stretching Harming You? Muscle Activation & Overcoming Chronic Pain with Yogi Aaron

Episode title:​ Is Stretching Harming You? Muscle Activation & Overcoming Chronic Pain with Yogi Aaron

Episode summary introduction:​ 

In this episode of "The Energy Fix," Tansy delves into an enlightening conversation with Yogi Aaron, exploring the broader implications of yoga beyond stretching and into the realms of personal manifesting and living intentionally. The discussion begins with Yogi Aaron's insights on stability, how it relates to one's life purpose, and the deep connection between yoga practices and moving inward to listen to the soul's voice.

Yogi Aaron highlights the distinction between unhealthy restlessness and the productive kind that propels toward purpose. With an emphasis on sitting with discomfort and cultivating love for intentional thought through 'bhavana,' rather than merely affirming desires, this episode seeks to redefine yoga's place in personal evolution. It's a rich dialogue that interweaves muscle activation, pain alleviation, and the transformative power of aligning practice with breath.

Key Takeaways:

  •  Yogi Aaron advocates for a shift away from passive stretching in yoga to focus on muscle activation and anatomical understanding.
  • The conversation emphasizes the importance of 'bhavana,' cultivating a deep love for a thought or intention, over simply using affirmations as a wish list.
  • The goal of yoga, as put forth by Yogi Aaron, is not flexibility but alignment with life purpose, removal of obstacles, and contentment.
  • The concept of muscle pairs (agonist and antagonist) is central to understanding why certain muscles may feel tight and the erroneous approach of traditional stretching.
  • Ayama, the term used by Yogi Aaron, intertwines applied yoga anatomy with muscle activation, aiming to transcend the practice to a therapeutic level and assist individuals in living pain-free.
