Welcome to Episode 1 of the Movement Logic podcast! In this episode, Laurel and Sarah set the stage for the episodes to come. We discuss the philosophical and actual differences between movement, exercise and sport; the problems with over- and under-moving; and of course, naming your robot vacuum (it’s the law).
- What’s the difference between movement, exercise, and sport
- How does yoga fit into these categories
- What problems do we have as a society with movement, exercise, and sport
- Lack of daily movement and ADLs (Activities of Daily Living)
- How exercise without a goal becomes a chore
- Yoga as a cathartic practice that includes movement
- What is Movement Logic doing to address these topics
- Movement Logic exists to help non-clinicians improve their skill set

I really enjoyed this thoughtful and articulate conversation . Wonderful and nuanced discernment. Inspired by Trina , I have been teaching some yoga asanas using resistance bands. This is a wonderful way to increase strength, proprioception and more. Laura I think you do this too. I am post menopausal . My asana practice has changed over the years. As a long time advocate for healthy aging, In fact with a specialty in gerontology since my 20s, I am attuned to subtle ageism and ageist language. I would with love to Sarah whom I’ve connected with and have worked with over the years, I suggest that “feeble” is not synonymous with old, old is not bad, and a slower less acrobatic asana practice is not only for “ladies of a certain age”. 🙏🏼❤️
Hi Bonnie, Thanks for listening and we’re so glad you liked it! I hope it was clear that my calling my practice “feeble old lady yoga” was through the lens of my 20 year old self, and not remotely what I really think of it. I agree wholeheartedly that a slower, less acrobatic practice is actually much harder and more sophisticated than the super acrobatic stuff I used to get up to.
Thanks for your blog, nice to read. Do not stop.
An impressive share, I simply given this onto a colleague who was doing a little bit analysis on this. And he in fact purchased me breakfast as a result of I found it for him.. smile. So let me reword that: Thnx for the treat! However yeah Thnkx for spending the time to discuss this, I feel strongly about it and love studying more on this topic. If doable, as you turn out to be experience, would you mind updating your weblog with more particulars? It’s highly helpful for me. Massive thumb up for this blog publish!
This actually answered my problem, thank you!
