Can you do this
By erinmotz Functional Flexibility

Did you know there’s this thing called the longevity test? It turns out there’s a strong correlation between failing this test and a shorter life expectancy  😬. 

Give it a try!

Sit down and stand back up without using your hands (yes, not even to help you get back up). 

Can you do this? 

The more you need your hands to help you, the more you need to work on your flexibility and strength. 

The thing is, being able to pass this test is absolutely within your control 💪. So, if you can’t do it right now, the good news is that you can still get there with the help of a structured workout plan.

Homework: Take some time today to consider how much you can benefit from a consistent, structured yoga practice. Imagine how amazing you can feel a month from now. There are plenty of resources out there. I have plenty of free videos and some more structured ones as well. But whatever you decide to do I hope you’ll start prioritizing yourself and make flexibility a priority. You WON’T regret it!

I'm Erin, I’ve been teaching yoga for almost 20 years and have been featured in countless publications for making yoga more accessible and focused on YOU, the person, and not the image of a "perfect yogi."

I'm also certified personal trainer and a lifelong student of the human body. I’ve seen thousands of students go from being in constant pain to being able to move freely and feel good in their bodies. It’s one of my favorite things to watch. That's why it's become my mission to see as many people as possible feel those same results and ultimately feel 10 years younger. I know it's possible and I know you can do this.
