Mindful Strength Kathryn Bruni-Young

Kathryn and Kyle talk about the features they look for when camera shopping. They have been through three cameras as their set-up has expanded over the years and they have learned a few things about helpful features. If you are curious about what they use and what they have used in the past this is a super practical discussion. Our weekly Bonus episodes will continue to cover quick topics from strength training to equipment.

Julie and Kathryn talk about what the core is, and how it is currently being redefined. Kathryn asks about popular topics like alignment, and why we hear the cue to "drop your ribs" so frequently. They always bring it back to a biopsychosocial perspective and discuss how everything from language to posture and expectations will affect the core. Julie Wiebe is one of the core trailblazers of our time and this interview recaps the more up to date research on this confusing part of the body.

Kathryn and Kyle break down the basics of sequencing and programming in 10-minutes. Kyle shares ideas on how to program exercises in a gym setting, while Kathryn tackles this topic from a more general mat practice perspective. They talk about how they sequence their weekly live classes, and why they typically choose full-body themes. They also discuss whether goals are helpful, and when a movement goal is appropriate.
