Episode 64: Why Stretching Doesn't Always Work
There's nothing more frustrating to a dancer than stretching all the time and feeling like you're not making progress towards your flexibility goals. In this episode, I break down why that might be happening. You'll learn the difference between flexibility and mobility, and why 2 key components of mobility - connective tissue and the nervous system - might actually be the thing impeding your flexibility progress.
