ARE FLEXIBILITY AND MOBILITY
THE SAME ?
Flexibility and mobility are often used interchangeably, but they actually refer to different aspects of movement. Flexibility is the ability of a muscle or group of muscles to lengthen passively through a range of motion. It primarily focuses on the muscles' elasticity and how far they can stretch. On the other hand, mobility is the ability to move a joint actively through its full range of motion with control. It involves not just muscles, but also joints, ligaments, tendons, and the nervous system working together to produce smooth and coordinated movement. While flexibility is important, mobility plays a crucial role in functional movements and daily activities. Improving both flexibility and mobility is essential for maintaining a well-rounded movement practice and preventing injuries.
ARE YOGA & MOBILITY (KINSTRETCH) THE SAME?
While yoga and mobility have some similarities, they are not the same. Yoga encompasses the coming into and holding physical poses and shapes (asana), breathwork (prana), meditation, and philosophy to promote physical, mental, and spiritual well-being.
Mobility, on the other hand, focuses specifically on improving joint health, joint range of motion, flexibility, and overall movement patterns through a system of mobility techniques and strategies which are not typically used in yoga.
While there can be overlap between the two, they serve different purposes and cater to different aspects of physical well-being.

What is the ( Kinstretch and Functional Range Conditioning - (FRC) Mobility System?
Functional Range Conditioning (FRC) & Kinstretch is a system of mobility training that not only builds flexibility but focuses on improving joint strength, mobility, and control through innovative and scientifically proven methods. Developed by Dr. Andreo Spina, FRC is grounded in science and utilizes principles of anatomy, physiology, and biomechanics to enhance an individual's ability to move efficiently and effectively. It is focused on targeting joints and tissues, thus aiming to expand usable ranges of motion while simultaneously increasing strength within those ranges.
This approach offers tangible benefits such as pain alleviation and injury prevention but also enhances overall movement quality and performance in various activities.
Whether you are an athlete looking to optimize your performance or simply seeking to move more freely in your daily life, FRC offers a comprehensive solution to improve joint health and function.
How can Yoga help?
Yoga is a practice that can significantly improve flexibility.
The various yoga poses promote muscle lengthening and relaxation, which can alleviate stiffness and tension that limit mobility.
Additionally, the magic of yoga happens in the breath and in fostering the awareness that the tools of yoga can apply beyond the mat and into your daily life. Linking your breath and the shapes we make with our bodies while holding the various yoga postures anchors you to the present moment, mutes mind chatter and connects you to your body. With regular practice, you’ll unearth the ability to tap into the power of your own breath on and off the mat for both your mental & physical well-being.
