Yoga For Bendy People with Libby Hinsley

Did you know that issues with your digestive system, anxiety, and poor interpersonal boundaries can all be linked to hypermobility? If you’re thinking wtf, Cora? Then you’re not alone. 

On today’s show I speak with Libby Hinsley, a yoga teacher & physical therapist who specializes in treating hypermobile yoga teachers, and folks with yoga injuries. 

This conversation was super enlightening for me, as someone who has suffered with all of those things in the past, and I’m hoping will be a lightbulb moment for you if you’ve experienced something similar or if not, help to educate you on how to work with hypermobile students in your classes.
