Loosen the Knots: Caring for Your Creative Body

with Yvonne Poon

Presentation Length: 15:34

Description: 

Yvonne shows knitters how small, intentional movements can prevent and relieve the stiffness and strain that builds up from knitting habits. With simple stretches, body-awareness tips, and a practical tool to stay consistent, you’ll discover how to loosen the knots and support your body so that you can keep knitting more comfortably without the knots slowing you down. 
 
 Major takeaways: 
  • How and why knitting can create “knots” in your body and what that means for you and your mobility.
  •  A fresh perspective on stiffness and tightness that has nothing to do with “just getting older.” 
  • How short, intentional breaks can help you feel better both at the needles and in daily life. 
  • Simple ways to keep your body from getting stuck in one position for too long. 
  • A practical tool to help you stay consistent, track your progress, and feel more comfortable.

Loosen the Knots: Caring for Your Creative Body

Yvonne is a knitting pattern designer, technical editor, and publisher.

After years of sitting for long stretches while designing, editing, publishing, knitting, and doing other crafts, she could no longer ignore the signals her body was sending about the toll her creative hobbies and work was taking on her body.

She began paying attention to the stiffness and tension and started educating herself about mobility, stretching, and sustainable movement habits. She learned how to make small, consistent changes to care for her body so that she could continue enjoying the creative work and hobbies she loves.

Now, Yvonne helps knitters and other makers do the same – by integrating intentional movement into your day so that you can support your body to create and craft comfortably and with ease for years to come.
