Definition of Mobility:

Mobility refers to the ability of a joint or a series of joints to move freely and effectively through their full range of motion. It is essential for maintaining functional movement, preventing injuries, and improving overall flexibility. In the context of Yoga, mobility exercises focus on enhancing joint flexibility, stability, and coordination to achieve greater ease of movement and body awareness.

 

Definition of Stretching:

Stretching involves elongating and lengthening muscles and soft tissues to improve flexibility and range of motion. It helps to increase blood flow, reduce muscle tension, and promote relaxation. In Yoga, stretching is often combined with mindful breathing to enhance body awareness, release stress, and bring balance to the body and mind.
