💛 Do you want to increase your hip mobility and decompress your lower back? Shoelace Pose does exactly this and more! It’s also a stimulating pose for the organs of digestion when we release the upper body and fold forward in this pose. (Not seen here mind you as I’m too busy drinking my morning tea!) This is a go to pose for me at the moment, especially when my low back and hip joints feels sticky in the morning. When you’re in this pose you’re looking for sensations along the outer hips/glutes and a gentle stretch along the spine. Don’t over do it in this shape - definitely don’t force. Notice what happens to your breath and if it’s impossible to breathe calmly then chances are you need to back off a little. nn💛Things to watch out for in this pose - knees and sciatica. If it’s too intense to stack the knees, then you can keep your bottom leg stretched out in front of you. You can also sit on a folded blanket to help ground the sitting bones. nn💛 A deep connection with your breath is really going to support you in this pose. Perhaps take 5 long breath cycles on one side then swap the cross of the legs. It may feel VERY different from one side of your body to the other. If you are pregnant do not fold in this shape. Drop any questions you have below and I’ll do my best to answer them.😍nn#shoelace #hipmobility #hipworkout #hipstretch #backhealth #spinehealth #yogaposesdaily #yogaposestoday #yogamobility...
