Our connective tissues constantly get remodeled based on the forces applied during use. Harnessing mechanical signaling and biological intelligence can thus improve the resilience of the connective tissues dramatically as we get older.
New models suggest that applying appropriate and managed stress may enhance the durability and robustness of our bodies.
This phenomenon is known as antifragility. Just as muscles grow stronger with progressive training loads, our connective tissues may thrive under moderate, controlled strain.
In this new, comprehensive 3-part online course with renowned Yin Yoga expert Bernie Clark, you will learn how to tap into your body’s innate capacity to adapt and grow stronger through appropriate stress.
Drawing from emerging research on antifragility, this course will provide you with safe, accessible tools to develop resilience against injury and increase longevity.
You will learn how variations in our human structure affect how we can load the tissues and how to harness antifragility approaches, specifically through Yin Yoga. This gentle, meditative practice applies moderate stress to connective tissues through long-held, passive postures.
Over time, this stimulates adaptation processes that enhance elasticity, resilience, and function. Bernie will guide you step-by-step through constructing balanced, nourishing Yin sequences. You will also learn the essentials of technique and the benefits of specific postures.
