California Online Privacy Protection Act

CalOPPA is the first state law in the nation to require commercial websites and online services to post a privacy policy.

COPPA (Children Online Privacy Protection Act)

When it comes to the collection of personal information from children under the age of 13 years old, the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) puts parents in control. The Federal Trade Commission, United States' consumer protection agency, enforces the COPPA Rule, which spells out what operators of websites and online services must do to protect children's privacy and safety online.

We do not specifically market to children under the age of 13 years old.

The Fair Information Practices Principles form the backbone of privacy law in the United States and the concepts they include have played a significant role in the development of data protection laws around the globe.

@trinaaltman is back on the podcast this week talking about her new book Yoga Deconstructed and we talked a little bit about pain and teaching (because I can’t not).Trina is a super creative teacher who integrates ideas across modalities to find something that works right here right now.We talked about the biopsychosocial perspective and how there’s a difference between thinking about these ideas and being able to actually integrate them into teaching.To listen to the full episode click the link in my profile then select podcast.Or find the Mindful Strength Podcast on any of the big podcast apps.And go order Trina’s book, it’s pure gold.#mindfulstrength #mindfulmovement #functionalmovement #yogadeconstructed #pilates #somatics
I get asked this question over & over again no mat I get asked this question over & over again no matter what I am teaching. While I know that this question comes from a desire to keep our students safe & it is important to have an understanding of general contraindications, I think it also stems from the “correct & protect” philosophy, rather than the “exposed & adapt framework.”⁣
⁣
Another problem with being concerned with a specific set of contraindications is that it is rooted in binary black & white thinking & being overly attached to labels & diagnoses. ⁣
⁣
As teachers, we know that we are not our label or our injury. We are whole & complete human beings who deserve to recover & grow strong based on our unique individual experiences. ⁣
⁣
By the time I am working with a private client one on one, they have already done their physical therapy or are doing physical therapy in conjunction with their sessions with me. At that point, if contraindications are an issue, I will ask them to check with their physical therapist for guidelines about what they should or should not be practicing. However, my scope of practice is to teach movement & not to fix people or solve their pain, so if a specific joint needs medical attention, I will refer out.⁣
⁣
When it comes to teaching, if someone has a diagnosis that dictates the types of movements we do, I will consider their stress levels, movement or loading history, & beliefs around what they perceive as safe.⁣
⁣
What we work on together will change depending on the individual & what stage they are in the healing process. So with this in mind, I would propose that we be less concerned with contraindications & more concerned with using our critical thinking skills to ask our clients what movements feel good or bad that day?⁣
⁣
If you do need someone’s contraindications, then have them consult their medical provider. However, know that they are simply guidelines & not hard and fast rules & that long term, most students will experience the most success through pain science education, progressive loading, graded exposure, & self-inquiry.⁣
⁣
How do you approach working with folx who are stuck in binary black-and-white thinking and/or are overly attached to labels/diagnoses?⁣

“IT IS EASIER TO BUILD STRONG KIDS THAN IT IS TO REPAIR BROKEN ADULTS.” - F. Douglass⁣
⁣
⚡️ In one of @trinaaltman’s workshops yesterday, we did this thing called “Supine Roll Reach” which is the first move in my video post-dog cuddles. Trina cued, “Now reach out like a baby just saw their toy. Like they just saw their mom or dad.” And I tried my best to lose my tendency to overthink. Always (over) thinking about alignment, what joints need to be stacked over each other, 90 degree angles and such. I tried to do just that- move like a baby. And it occurred to me how we, as Yoga students, have become zombies to our teachers’ cues. It’s become more like, “Simon says...” and we have given ourselves permission to lose the ability to be self-directive. As a teacher, I am guilty as charged.⁣
⁣
👶🏾 While imitation plays a part in babies and toddlers learning movement, acquiring different types of movements by themselves as they go through motor development stages make babies the ideal case studies for intuitive movement. As we grow to be adults, in time we start to lose our ability to move by intuition. We are told how a lunge *should * look. Where all the limbs should be in any pose. That having parallel feet when standing is ideal. How to make sure our knees don’t get past our ankles (God forbid, we get “injured!”) and so many more. We have lost the ability to be self-directive and have subscribed to being told what to do and how to do it. And while being taught proper form and execution is key to having a pain-less and efficient practice, a one-size-fits-all prescriptive approach will not work for every body because every body is different. ⁣
⁣
🧘‍♀️ This is why I have really grown to love Somatics. It just allows the person or student to be, moving though inquiry-based cues and truly embracing a movement as an experience without caring about aesthetics. Somatics puts the student in charge of their practice and what they want to make out of it, which promotes movement autonomy in a low stress environment. If you have not tried Somatics, give @trinaaltman a follow and check out

I promised this review a week ago, but I am still reading the book. A small preface for those who are with me recently or do not know me at all. My name is Anastasiia. I am a cardiologist and yoga teacher. I did my 200 hours with Yoga International and 340 hours with Yoga Circle Aсademy in Berlin.
We studied biomechanics, the principles of progress and regression in asanas to help students cope with limitations and prepare for asanas. As the author of the book well emphasizes, people have many channels of information perception. For example, I do not perceive information well by audio  and it is much better when several sensory systems are involved in training. Therefore, this book has become for me a visual instruction that involves all systems.
After completing the courses in independent practice, I was faced with the fact that my students, like me, have different dominant communication channels. I was wondering how to improve contact? How to combine different sensory systems for a better result? How to write your program based on the principles of regression and progress? How can you help students feel better about their body?
In this book, the terminology is given step by step, the essence of the principles is revealed, tasks are given, the reader receives and simultaneously works with the material. At the end of the book, chapter 8 is devoted to creating a yoga class.
This book can be useful for physiotherapists, sports doctors, yoga coaches. It is an excellent base for beginning teachers and those who open up new horizons of awareness of their body in movement and rest.
Trina @trinaaltman thanks for the book, I've been waiting for it for a long time.P.s. You can order this book on Amazon or go through link trinaaltman.com

I've always considered myself an asana-based teacher. And, for the most part, I just “get it” when it comes to postural alignment. As a vinyasa junkie, I am always looking for new ways to apply modern movement science to the way I teach classes and lead my yoga teacher trainings.My teaching completely changed a few years back thanks to the lovely human behind Yoga Deconstructed®.
