If you’ve been dealing with chronic pain or tend to get injured easily and you’re starting to get frustrated with your body, today’s episode is for you. It’s normal to get discouraged by your capacity to heal, but my guest this week is here to discuss healing, particularly for highly sensitive or hypermobile folks, from a whole-body perspective.

Jonathan FitzGordon is the creator of the Rejuvenation Movement Method, which was born from his own pain and healing journey. He aims to help people age gracefully and live pain-free lives. Jonathan has been practicing yoga since 1995, teaching since 2000, and training teachers since 2005.

Tune in this week to discover what healing as a whole-body experience looks like and how it can change your life forever as a highly sensitive or hypermobile person. We’re talking about everything from posture, walking patterns, and nervous system regulation, and you’ll learn how to start getting out of pain for good using a whole-body approach.

The upcoming retreat in Guatemala is less than two months away! Almost last call – send me a DM on Instagram or an email at erika.belanger@gmail.com to reserve your spot today.

What You’ll Discover:

• The difficulties that hypermobile people can face when it comes to yoga.
• Why most hypermobile people aren’t aware of their own hypermobility, posture, and walking patterns.
• The different levels of hypermobility you need to be aware of.
• How traditional pain treatments don’t serve most people with hypermobility.
• The link between HSPs and hypermobility and how our bodies hold onto excess energy.
• Some activities and exercises that encompass your whole body.
