Redefining Movement

LYT®

Redefining Movement, the LYT podcast, is hosted by two Physical Therapists: Lara Heimann, founder of LYT, and Kristin Williams, COO & Senior LYT Instructor. Together, they explore movement through the lens of physical therapy, neuroscience, and the lived experience of being human.

Blending scientific insights with soulful perspectives, Lara and Kristin transform our understanding of how our bodies and minds interact. Though the show has changed in several ways since the first episode in 2018, the mission remains steadfast and clear: to help us find freedom and feel empowered through intelligent movement patterns and a compassionate outlook, so we can all live more capable, connected, and uplifted lives.

Wednesday Q&A - Hypermobility, Ideal Movement Schedules, & Frozen Shoulder
Welcome to Wednesday Q&A, where you ask questions and we answer them! In this episode, Lara and Kristin answer your questions about joint stability, weekly movement routines, and shoulder health. Listen to hear them dig into what's really happening when hypermobile joints "pop," share their own personal movement schedules, and offer guidance for anyone dealing with the early stages of a frozen shoulder. Your Questions: Happy to hear you are bringing the podcast back. Here's my question. I have a hypermobile body. I often battle tight hips and a stiff lower back while balancing CrossFit, running, and LYT. I’ve noticed a painless, crunchy pop right at L4 specifically when stepping or pressing up into Warrior poses. Since hypermobile bodies tend to 'hang out' in the joints, is this L4 popping a sign that my tight hips are forcing a micro-instability in my lumbar spine during wide-stance transitions? How can I use the LYT method to ground my pelvis better so my lower back doesn't take the hit? Thank you for always pulling for us. What is your ideal movement schedule look like? It seems like you’re in shape and have only gotten more fit over the years. I’ve been following you. I have the beginning of a frozen shoulder, but haven’t received any advice from professionals, including my doctor. What advice would you give me to avoid it getting worse?

Wednesday Q&A - Aging Pains, Bone-Density Training, & Healing the Root Cause of Pains
Welcome (back) to Wednesday Q&A, where you ask questions and we answer them! In this episode, Lara and Kristin answer your questions about aging pains, bone density training, and healing Morton's neuroma. Your questions: So happy the podcast is back. I have a question or more of an observation: I noticed more nerve pinching or small muscle tears recently, it never stays long. I move, I swim, I run, and it goes away. This is new for my (50 year old) body. My students also complain regularly (sciatica or other nerve or muscle pains … those who train a lot as athletes do always have something!) Is it only me? Or is there any biomechanical reason that as we age we tend to experience small pains? Any thoughts on this? how to avoid them? PS: now I understand and sympathize with people complaining and understand better why it is so easy to “fall into this decline narrative” … I noticed seniors, menopausal women, or athletes are the population complaining the most about small and most of the time temporary discomfort. With love and lots of good vibes to this new podcast series. My question is in reference to jumping to increase bone density. LYT has always emphasized a soft landing. Now research shows that landing with force stimulates the body to build bone. Are both necessary in different situations? How to heal Morton's Neuroma? Have a question for the show?

RE-RELEASE: Weight Bearing in the Hands, LYT for Anxiety Reduction, & Anterior Knee Pain
We're (almost) baaack! Big things are brewing behind the scenes here at LYT, including a brand-new season of Redefining Movement on the way! While we put the finishing touches on what's next, we're taking a little trip down memory lane and re-releasing some of our most-loved Q&A episodes. Today we're sharing an episode that feels just as relevant now as when it first aired. Let's talk about sweat. We can't wait to be back with you! Stay tuned for fresh episodes coming soon. For now, enjoy today's re-release! We're gearing up for the new season and would love your input— what topics and questions we should explore? Send your ideas to support@lytyoga.com. — Welcome to Wednesday Q&A, where you ask questions and we answer them! Your questions: Can we talk about the hand? I've heard of toe yoga and I use it in my PT practice and self-practice. Is there hand yoga? One thing my local LYT instructor says in class is to press the base of my index finger into the mat during any weight-bearing through the arm. I struggle with this. How can I improve and can you go into the physiology behind it? Can LYT help my anxiety? Sometimes I've felt increased anxiety in other flow classes. My question pertains to the stigma of knee pain. It seems as though the cottage industry of relief for knee pain has created an environment whereby if you experience ongoing knee pain, you must simply be doing something wrong. Despite my ongoing LYT practice and other attempts to remedy said knee pain, it still persists. Specifically, I experience this pain when walking downhill, downstairs, or doing things like weighted lunges or squat pulses from high crescent. In approximate terms, it generally radiates from below the patella on either side, which makes me think meniscus. I would characterize the discomfort as acute in that in more than a few cases, it may decrease when I'm more warmed up, but it never fully goes away. While I would not expect a diagnosis to be made from anecdotes in an email, it is unreasonable to think that some knee pain may not be entirely correctable through “better movement patterns,” strengthening the support structures. And if so, what metrics/means can be used to make that conclusive determination?

Deep Dive: Staying the Course to Prime Wellness
Join Lara & Kristin this month for a deep dive into the role education plays in the LYT method and LYT movement. In this episode, you’ll learn about: *Set Clear, Sustainable Goals* Maintaining health and wellness requires setting specific, achievable, and sustainable goals, such as aiming for gradual progress rather than quick fixes. A long-term vision aligned with your lifestyle helps you stay motivated and make better daily decisions. *Consistent Exercise & Movement* Consistent exercise is essential for wellness, as it strengthens the body, improves mood, and boosts energy. However, signs like frequent fatigue, aches, or decreased energy after workouts may indicate overtraining or inadequate recovery, highlighting the importance of listening to your body. *Prioritize Quality Nutrition* A balanced diet of whole foods, vegetables, lean proteins, and healthy fats fuels the body, while mindful eating focuses on how food makes you feel. Watch for signs like constant cravings, sluggishness after meals, or emotional eating, which may signal an imbalance in your diet. *Mental Health & Mindfulness* True wellness includes mental and emotional health, and mindfulness practices like meditation or journaling can reduce stress and improve focus and mood. *Quality Sleep* Sleep is essential for wellness, supporting recovery, brain function, and hormone regulation, with 7-9 hours of quality rest needed each night; trouble sleeping, waking up tired, or relying on stimulants may indicate a problem. *Track Your Progress and Stay Flexible* Tracking progress can be motivating, but it's important to stay flexible, as setbacks are normal; avoid discouragement, rigidity, or losing joy in your healthy habits. *Check-in With Your Support System* Having a supportive community is crucial for wellness, as accountability and encouragement help maintain consistency; isolation or unhealthy influences can hinder progress.
