Your mind, body & soul.

Practice with me! Use the time you devote to yourself to be in your body, build mental stamina and physical strength, and have fun.

A lot of what brings people into your life is something you share in common. I’ve been following @the_skindeep and their series, The And. They recently asked participants about if they remember when they first met, and the circumstances behind it.

Let’s play—how did we meet and when? For yoga, I first met you at a community center class in La Jolla and I had absolutely no idea what I was doing. I didn’t revisit you again until after grad school because jiu jitsu was all I could handle.

W E S E I D #2 | The Seid sisters bring you...Mobility vs. flexibility. Are they the same? Are they different? What’s the deal?
.

Kristin says: Let’s define both terms. Mobility is the ability to move or be moved freely and easily (primarily joints). Flexibility is the quality of bending easily without breaking/tearing (as it relates to muscles). MOBILITY: Let’s take the spine for example. Within the spine live vertebral joints that can turn into hinge points. These are points in which there is hypermobility because the body is compensating for a lack of mobility in other areas. See me demonstrate this in the lumbar area (low back, hint hint look at the skin folds). FLEXIBILITY: I’ll be the first to say that my hamstrings are tight--and this isn’t uncommon--because the muscles there are not flexible enough. To maintain the integrity of a downward dog, I need to bend my knees so my spine stays straight.

Jessica says: As a teacher, I hear students conflate mobility and flexibility a lot, so we’re here to set the record straight. Often times I see in the classroom a lack of mobility in the hips (think difficulty setting the foot down in between the hands from a 3-legged dog), and as with Kristin, a lack of flexibility through the backline of the body. For me personally, I can easily get into pigeon because my hip circumference muscles are flexible AND my hip joints are pretty mobile. However, I cannot get into king pigeon without the assistance of blocks, bolsters, and a strap because of two things: my spine lacks the mobility to create a deep backbend required of the pose, and the front line of my body lacks the flexibility (left side quads, hip flexors).
.

Keep in mind that the more mobile, the less stable you tend to be. The more stable you are (read: muscular and strong), the less mobile you tend to be. Joints where most of the mobility comes from, while muscles most of the flexibility comes from.

As a linguist and language enthusiast (nerd), I will always assert how everything has to evolve. It’s a hallmark of every language—there are always minute shifts.
..
.
Let’s take “you’re welcome” vs “no problem” in response to someone saying, “thank you.” “You’re welcome” implies that the thanks was expected because a person went out of their way to help, while “no problem” implies that the extra help was expected and that it wasn’t any extra burden (even if it was).
..
.
Older generations will tend to say “you’re welcome” over younger generations. Why? Attitudes and perceptions towards gratitude have changed. You change, we change, everyone changes, time changes, language changes. What doesn’t change is gratitude.
