    Larry Thraen

    Founder / Yoga of You

     

    Larry Thraen founded The Yoga of You Advanced Education Protocols and is a clinical yoga therapist at the J. Flowers Health Institute.

     

    My promise is simple: You will feel better after every session.

     

     

    Larry, "the low back pain guy," has over 35,000 hours of experience in the multidisciplinary fields of yoga, neurophysiology, and functional movement. He's trained hundreds of teachers and practitioners worldwide in non-traditional ways of treating dysfunction through mindfulness and movement. Larry has been in the clinical environment for over five years and is aligned with some of Houston's top doctors and movement practitioners, serving and educating people on functional longevity and how living pain-free is simple, safe, and accessible.

     

     

    Larry has completed over 2600 certification hours through the Andrew Dugas, The School of Yoga Institute, having studied under Andrew Dugas, Robert Boustany, Vedantin 'Ping" Lou, and his early practice was inspired by Vinnie Marino, Bryan Kest, Annie Carpenter, Steve Ilg, and Kathryn Budig.

     

     

    Larry specializes in 200hr and 500hr teacher trainings and leading advanced yoga study immersions. He has certified over 500 yoga teachers throughout his career.

     

     

     

    Injury Rehabilitation, Neural Re-education, Mobility Restoration

    Simply prescribing a particular exercise for a specific problem is only sometimes effective. As a functional movement specialist, I focus on specific corrective movement protocols that significantly improve client outcomes. By understanding the necessary parameters for effective movement application, I can provide tailored solutions to correct dysfunctions in the body's circuitry and movement.

     

     

    I use specific corrective movement protocols that involve prescribing first eye and then body movement drills that stimulate the brain to coordinate and control movement in a new and improved way. This approach can help reset circuitry problems and improve movement patterns. As a result, my clients experienced increased mobility, improved stability, and reduced pain.

     

    Once we've stimulated your body to resolve a movement pattern, I can look at novel long-term protocol methods based on specific movement skills. This approach can help improve their physical fitness and prevent future injuries.

     

    I can provide clients with a customized and effective approach to their wellness goals by using specific corrective movement protocols. They see noticeable improvements in their physical abilities, which can help build trust in their body.  

     

    Therapeutic movement is a series of applied movement neurology sessions that can significantly impact performance outcomes.

     

    Each session is designed to reduce pain and will improve:
    - Balance and Coordination
    - Body awareness and sensitivity
    - Increased range of motion
    - Will identify and activate underdeveloped muscles
    - Enhance flexibility
    - The sessions will lead to better posture and alignment to reduce the risk of injury or re-injury
    - The sessions also help minimize stress by assisting the brain to feel safe through improved use of the brain's visual, vestibular, and motor control systems to help reduce chronic pain.
    - Restorative movement sessions are used as a movement-centric corrective strategy so clients can enjoy a pain-free life regardless of age or background.

     

     

    Restorative movement sequences are tailored to meet clients' specific needs and requirements, making them a highly customizable and effective tool for overall physical health. They can be used to improve performance and reduce the risk of injury in athletes or as a rehabilitation strategy for individuals with musculoskeletal injuries or chronic pain.  

     

     

    Overall, therapeutic movement sessions provide a powerful means of enhancing functional fitness and well-being.
