A very talented team, with some serious communication and boundary issues. In this episode, the first of a three-part anatomy series, we\u2019re looking at the different curves of your spine. Not as a boring anatomy lesson, but as the dysfunctional workplace happening inside your body. Because every section of your spine has its own r\u00e9sum\u00e9. There are movements it\u2019s naturally great at, movements it struggles with, and jobs it will happily take over even when it absolutely should not be in charge. In this episode: \ud83d\udd39 Meet the workplace characters living inside your spine, from the people-pleasing lumbar spine to the creative director running wild in your neck \ud83d\udd39 Why more mobility isn\u2019t always better, and how yoga can strengthen what\u2019s weak while creating boundaries around what already moves too much \ud83d\udd39 How common poses like Upward Dog, Warrior I, Triangle, Camel, and even Cat-Cow can place the wrong part of your spine in charge \ud83d\udd39 The cues and simple adjustments that help your core, sacrum, low back, thoracic spine, and neck actually work together Good alignment isn\u2019t about making a pose look perfect. It\u2019s about understanding who is doing the work. What part of your body is overworking? What part is avoiding the work? And who has apparently been working remotely from the Bahamas since 2017? This is the kind of anatomy we dive into inside Uplifted Yoga Teacher Training, so you can move and teach with more intelligence, confidence, and compassion. \u2705 If this episode makes you think, I want to understand the body this way, come study with us inside Uplifted \u2192 https:\/\/www.brettlarkin.com\/online-yoga-teacher-training\/?utm_medium=social&utm_source=podcast&utm_campaign=200ytt    FREE Practice: Gentle Beginner Yoga for Back Pain | LOW BACK STRETCHING TUTORIALS Relevant Blog: The Nervous System, Not the Poses: What a Modern Yoga Teacher Training Actually Teaches You About Your Body   Relevant to Today\u2019s Episode: \ud83d\udcd6 Yoga Life Book \ud83d\udc0d Kundalini 200-hour YTT \u2705 200-hour Online Yoga Teacher Training \ud83d\udd2e 300-hour Online Yoga Teacher Training \ud83d\udc96 Uplifted Membership \ud83c\udfa7 Also Listen to: #280 \u2013 The Pelvis: Your Seat of Power & Embodiment with Lara Heimann #369 \u2013 Nervous System Masterclass with Kristin Leal \u00a9 2026 Uplifted Yoga | BrettLarkin.com ","author_name":"The Uplifted Yoga Podcast","author_url":"https:\/\/www.brettlarkin.com\/","html":"
