This podcast episode explores the biases surrounding symmetry and asymmetry in yoga, movement, and fitness. The speakers discuss how there is a belief that symmetry is optimal while asymmetry leads to dysfunction and pain. However, they challenge this belief by highlighting the natural asymmetry in the human body and the importance of accepting individual variations. The conversation delves into various topics such as body alignment, amputations, leg length discrepancy, and the impact of asymmetry on pain and injury risk. The episode emphasizes the need to question assumptions and embrace variations in order to understand how our bodies function optimally.
