Welcome to Wednesday Q&A, where you ask questions and we answer them!
In this Wednesday Q&A, we answer your questions about the challenges of finding trigger points during myofascial release, sharing a favorite body fact, and discuss cues for helping engage your pelvic floor muscles.
Your questions:
* I use a massage ball for myofascial release. Recently I was feeling stuck around my shoulder and thoracic area. Sometimes I can't find the exact trigger point as the time when I started with the massage ball. I wonder if there is any reason for that.
* What is your favorite random fact about the body?
* A student of mine is asking how she can feel her pelvic floor muscles. We've talked about Triple S, finding the diamond, and 360 breathing. I'm curious what cues other teachers use for students who want to "feel their PF muscles engage."

Join Lara & Kristin this month for a deep dive into the role education plays in the LYT method and LYT movement.
Incorporating education into movement practices is crucial for several reasons:
**Improved Understanding**: Education helps individuals understand the principles behind movements, making them more aware of the correct techniques and the purpose of each exercise. This knowledge can lead to more effective and intentional practice.**Injury Prevention**: With a better understanding of biomechanics and body mechanics, individuals can perform movements safely, reducing the risk of injury. Education on proper form and alignment is essential for preventing strains, sprains, and other injuries.**Enhanced Motivation**: When people understand the benefits and science behind movement practices, they are often more motivated to engage in them consistently. Knowing how exercises improve health, well-being, and performance can encourage sustained participation.**Personalized Practice**: Education enables individuals to tailor their movement practices to their specific needs, goals, and limitations. This personalization can enhance the effectiveness of the practice and address individual health concerns.**Holistic Health**: Understanding the interconnectedness of physical, mental, and emotional health can lead to more comprehensive movement practices. Education can promote practices that not only improve physical fitness but also support mental well-being and emotional balance.**Empowerment**: Educated individuals are empowered to take control of their health and fitness. They can make informed decisions about their movement practices and are less reliant on external guidance, fostering independence and confidence.**Sustainability**: Knowledgeable individuals are more likely to develop sustainable movement habits. They understand the long-term benefits and are more likely to integrate movement into their daily lives as a lifelong practice rather than a short-term activity.**Community Building**: Education fosters a sense of community and shared understanding among practitioners. When individuals share knowledge and experiences, it can strengthen group cohesion and support.By integrating education into movement practices, individuals can achieve more effective, safe, and meaningful results, leading to a healthier and more informed approach to physical activity.

Welcome to Wednesday Q&A, where you ask questions and we answer them!
In this Wednesday Q&A, we answer your questions about how to know how much to move, strategies to help people fine-tune their core engagement, and thoughts on PRP and/or stem cell therapy.
Your questions:
* Can you discuss the importance of listening to your body and finding the balance between pushing yourself and practicing self-care in movement?
* I have a lady when doing abdominals that āpuffsā her belly up when she lifts up. Creating (to me) a lot of intra-abdominal pressure. I give all the cues (engage the diamond, draw lower ribs down). But nothing seems to help. What can you suggest, as Iām assuming she is putting a lot of pressure down into her pelvic floor as well.
* I'm curious of your thoughts on stem cell and/or PRP therapy.

Welcome to Wednesday Q&A, where you ask questions and we answer them!
In this Wednesday Q&A, we answer your questions about remedies morning low back pain and stiffness, advice on a stress fracture in a toe, and advice on balancing exercise amongst everything else in life.
Your questions:
* Do you have a favorite stretch or exercise to alleviate low back pain and stiffness in the morning?
* I recently developed a stress fracture in my 4th metatarsal. I healed quickly, but was quite surprised when it happened, as I thought my feet were relatively strong. I've had my LYT practice for years, and I run, hike, strength train, and do lots of plyometric work. I suspect rucking on the treadmill in my minimalist shoes contributed to the fracture. What are your thoughts on footwear for these activities?
* Can you give me advice on how to balance exercise with all the other activities and responsibilities in life?

Welcome to Wednesday Q&A, where you ask questions and we answer them!
In this Wednesday Q&A, we answer your questions about hip and low back pain during pregnancy, cervical spine arthritis, and misconceptions about exercise and movement practices
Your questions:
* Any suggestions for hip and low back pain during pregnancy? Iām in my 4th month and the pain gets worse from sitting for too long but also from working out. Iām keeping my exercise routine light and easy but the pain flares up, specifically on one side. Yoga, stretching, and even walking doesnāt feel as good as pre-pregnancy because I lost my body and movement awareness. Thanks!
* A long-term yogi & friend (mid-60s) has recently been diagnosed with arthritis in her cervical spine, C2-C5. She has a fair bit of pain & is careful what she does in our LYT classes. In your opinion is there anything that I can do to help her?
* What are some common misconceptions about exercise and movement practices?
