I have had more then a few ahah moments throughout this. Very informative.

[@Ariele.Foster]

very cool! thanks for watching.

Poorly trained yoga teacher are a concern, yin ashamed restrictive tissues and I am so grateful plus the time resting in the Palouse is both meditative and deeply resting, props are essential, as should use a scale of sensation of 1-10 and reside in the middle

[@Ariele.Foster]

Props were not used by the originators of yin yoga, interestingly, though I understand they are widely used now due to Sarah Powers and Bernie Clark’s influence. Unfortunately the claims about what yin yoga does to connective tissue and joints are not backed by science. I would point out that it can destabilize joints. There is no such thing as an objective 1-10. It’s all up the practitioner and sensation in the moment does not equate to sensation later in the day

Could you post the Jill Miller piece that you were reading from? Is that from a book? An article?

[@lisamarielindenschmidt649]

Or maybe you're saying Joan Miller...?

[@Ariele.Foster]

It was one of Jill Miller's videos with Yoga International.

[@stacyquinn4867]

This was definitely interesting but I just listened thru & never heard any discussion of foods that benefit your fascia - as described in the title of the video ?? The importance of hydration, yes - and the potential of myofascial release to support digestion + presumably nutrition/effective use of foods consumed - but not foods - ???

[@Ariele.Foster]

I don't remember everything covered in this chat 3 years later, but the most important thing we all need to remember for healthy fascia (which is really healthy substance of our body) is to keep appropriate balances of macronutrients. Many of us are deficient in protein and / or high in carbs (in the form of actual sugar). Excess sugar does bad things for fascia and connective tissue. Also we are under-hydrated. Getting that in balance and staying hydrated is 99%. Beyond that, theoretically (there is no peer reviewed research that I know of on it, but feel free to correct me -- whoever is reading this) gelatinous food substances like chia and flax could be helpful. Most likely the helpful quality to them is that they absorb a lot of water outside of the body, and then potentially hydrate the digestive system as they pass through.

[@ellenr8634]

Ariele had a lot of interesting things to say but the two did not discuss foods to help fascia. Misleading title.

[@Ariele.Foster]

thanks. I updated the name.
