interested in increasing active range of motion Unlike passive static stretching you want to |
perform stretches that accept load throughout the entire range The stretching aspect of |
antirigidity will increase the joints mobility and restore proper length to the muscles involved |
The contraction aspect will increase the stability of the joint and increase the strength of the |
muscles Overall antirigidity should be thought of as a combination of stretching and |
contracting in which you explore the boundaries of tension while applying lowgrade but |
continuous tensile loads Yoga done with active loading can accomplish antirigidity as well |
Employing Antirigidity During Yoga |
Antirigidity methods are implicit in yoga but there are ways to make them more explicit |
When take a yoga class assume the poses as directed and then perform antirigidity while |
inside the pose For instance most yoga instructors tell you to keep your neck straight and still |
while in downward dog because they dont want distressed breathers to hurt their necks |
But you and can safely assume downward dog and use the unique loading properties of the |
pose to find and strengthen frail joints From downward dog it is possible to leverage your way |
into countless stiff neck positions that are treatable through antirigidity Yoga teachers refer to |
achy dormant muscle as sticky while practitioners often describe stretches that rouse |
dormant muscle as delicious Use yoga to help you probe for and discover delectable |
contractions |
In many types of hatha yoga there is a risk of overstretching certain muscle groups during |
a pose Many yoga instructors and practitioners abuse their bodies by pushing too hard in an |
attempt to achieve an ideal form The best way to improve form is not to force the body into |
a static stretch but rather to use the pose to gradually rehab the dormant muscle that is |
keeping you from executing the pose ideally Ease yourself into the postures and vary your |
weight while in them so they are not static and isolated To do this you want to lean in |
different directions play with the articulations shift your weight and alter the poses geometry |
to achieve various wellrounded contractions Remembering to use the five tenets of optimal |
posture from the last chapter during yoga will enhance postural strengthening |
recommend that anyone interested in yoga start with basic lyengar or restorative yoga |
to develop proper form and an appropriate emotional relationship with their body After a few |

of these lessons encourage trying as many types of yoga as possible until you find one that |
you truly enjoy You can take classes in a studio or at home using a free internet video Yoga has |
shown numerous clinical benefits such as improving emotional regulation and reducing |
physiological arousal It has even been shown to assist significantly in the treatment of post |
traumatic stress disorder believe every person should perform yoga with antirigidity on a |
weekly if not daily basis |
The following sketches should help you if you want to practice at home strongly |
recommend moving through the classic yoga poses here as often as possible Choose at least |
each night and spend one to two minutes in each while engaging in paced breathing |
Another great option is to put something educational on television then sit a phone or a tablet |
down next to the TV using it on silent to stream an online yoga class do this for twenty |
minutes every night and learn something while stretch An added benefit of performing |
antirigidity and yoga before bed is that it will help you sleep like a baby due to the copious |
endorphins released |

Conclusion |
When was went to a nearby court to play basketball The moves and skills that |
developed in my late teens had disintegrated felt incredibly clumsy and feeble on the court |
wanted to know why Because had not played basketball in years assumed that had lost |
the memories and neural connections responsible for my skills was researching the |
neuroscience of Alzheimers at the time and that influenced me to assume that because |
hadnt used those brain pathways may have lost them |
However at age went out to play basketball again only to discover that the skills and |
coordination of my teenage years were back My poor performance years prior had nothing |
to do with losing brain circuits and everything to do with frailty Now instead of feeling like a |

dry twig running down the court feel like a velociraptor My body supports me fully in any |
position put it in It is the same with dancing People dont stop dancing in old age because |
they forget how They stop because their joints are immobile and their unnecessarily feeble |
bodies hurt Antirigidity is like an analgesic but a permanent one As many yogis insist You |
are only as old as your spine Another way to put this is You are only as old as your spine is |
frail and painful |
Antirigidity Exercise Search Your Body for Rigidity |
Use the illustrations of poses above along with the Antirigidity Protocol to guide you ina |
fiveminute search for frailty in your body Once you find the muscular patterns that cause |
joint cracking and create a feeling of achiness spend time within them using firm sustained |
contractions Practice paced breathing during this session |
In my s if got less than four hours of sleep my back would hurt all day However a |
couple of years of antirigidity has made it so that even if miss an entire night of sleep feel |
no joint discomfort because my spine still supports me can stand up straight for long periods |
while everyone else succumbs to slouching can sit crosslegged on the floor for hours while |
others languish on the couch The postural reinforcements that antirigidity created sometimes |
make me feel like am in some kind of supportive harness or mechanical exosuit Antirigidity |
makes it effortless to hold your body assertively proudly and energetically |
The strength gains from antirigidity come with muscle mass gains They dont make you |
