Summary
We don't simply want greater flexibility. We want flexibility that we can control--and, we want to be strong in our flexibility. In this discussion, Jason breaks down the terms "passive range of motion," "active range of motion," and "end-range strength." You'll learn how these phenomenon relate to each other and how to incorporate these techniques into your teaching and practice.

| 0:00.0 | Hey, everyone. Welcome to Yogaland Yoga Teacher's companion. I'm your host, Jason |
| 0:04.8 | Crandall. And what I'm going to do today is I'm going to build on the most |
| 0:09.7 | recent podcasts that I did about flexibility and mobility. And I want to unpack |
| 0:15.1 | some really similar concepts, some similar to flexibility and mobility, some |
| 0:20.8 | similar concepts, but with different language. Okay? I want to unpack active |

| 0:54.5 | range strength, saying this in the last podcast I did, I don't want there to be a |
| 0:59.8 | dichotomy. In the modern era, I don't want to take things that are useful for our |

| 1:22.5 | years of practicing and teaching, where I think those different techniques |
| 1:27.0 | benefit us as a practicing community. Okay? So what we want to think of is active |
| 1:34.1 | range of motion first. Now, if you did listen to the conversation about mobility |
| 1:38.9 | and flexibility, active range of motion is really the same thing as mobility. |
| 1:45.9 | Active range of motion implies that the muscle groups, |
| 1:51.8 | attendance and ligaments, right? But the muscle groups of a joint are moving |
| 1:57.6 | that joint. So an active range of motion of the hip flexion, and I'm going to give |
