45: Incorporating FRC Into Yoga Classes with Clayton Weakley
Have you been hearing yoga teacher friends talk about PAILs and RAILs and CARs and 90/90 and you’re feeling a little left out because you have no idea what they’re talking about? No worries... we’re going to fix that today! Clayton Weakley is a friend of mine and while he started his teaching career as a Yoga Tune Up teacher he now works as a Functional Range Conditioning movement coach. We’ve got him on the podcast sharing tons of great ideas for incorporating FRC into yoga classes! In this episode you’ll hear:
what Functional Range Conditioning, or FRC®, is and how it is different from other mobility systems
an explanation of the basic principles of FRC like:
CARs-- Controlled Articular Rotations
PAILs -- progressive angular isometric loading
RAILs -- regressive angular isometric loading
how FRC is different from PNF Stretching
why mobility training, body control and joint strength are ideas yoga teachers should be thinking about
some simple ways that yoga teachers could start to incorporate these principles into their teaching
