Do you sit a lot? Find your low back getting stiff? Or Do a lot anterior chain dominant activities? Questions we all will find ourselves saying 99% of the time = YES! The post for today is great for combatting all parts of hip and spinal tension. These are poses of yoga yes :P however; I love getting my patients to open up through their hips. Not only for release of muscular tightness but for decompression of the spine, pelvis and hip as a combination. These poses also can help find a sense of grounding and peace for the mind as well. Finding your edge is one thing with yoga but knowing your edge is another; I encourage trying these stretches/exercises with 3-5 cycles of breath and easing into each pose. Explore the sensation of stretch if you are new OR challenge yourself with a different intention if you are experienced. Yoga poses are not always passive and will find new ways to challenge us all in different ways. Get up and move is the best way to keep your hips and back healthy; especially in different ways than what our bodies are used to.
