Ever noticed a pattern of common misalignments in your students? Most misalignments are caused by underlying muscle imbalances, says Iyengar yoga teacher Julie Gudmestad, P.T. in this talk. Learn about the 5 typical musculoskeletal limitations at the root of misalignments and ways to address them.
When there are limitations in the body, the brain takes the movement to the place of least resistance. This is referred to as a kinetic chain, and it is the most common source of misalignment in yoga.
