Redefining stretching with Biomechanist and Yoga Educator Jules Mitchell, MS. We talk about her upcoming book, different types of stretching like PNF (proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation), the shoulder joint in downward dog and why she doesn’t say the word "tight" anymore when referring to muscles.

Highlights:

• Fascia and muscle are not as distinct as we think they are. The more we separate the more we lose sight of how things work as a whole.

• How Titin and the three filament model explains eccentric contractions

• How long it takes for science to trickle down to movement educators (usually 20 years!)

• Tight and weak are not opposite
