Flexibility vs. Mobility

To understand the link between flexibility and mobility in yoga we must understand the difference.

Flexibility is the body's ability to, or not to, move passively into a posture, such as hanumanasana or full splits, with the help of gravity.

Mobility is the body's ability to engage and control stabilizing muscles to actively move in and out of a posture, such as standing splits, progressing towards the full range of motion.

The key to a safe, viable and lifelong yoga practice is increasing mobility not just flexibility. During these workshops you will learn how to engage and strengthen the stabilizing muscles around the joints to improve mobility and flexibility.
