How to Wallflower This pose requires a strong core, open hamstring and a hallway. A previous inversion practice helps. Move slow and listen to your body first. Practice holding and breathing wherever you are in the pose, you’ll get there when your body is ready. Share your final product with me by using the hash tag #sarahbethyoga :)1. Start by warming up your hamstrings and hips flexors in a standing splits against the wall: With one heel flush (or close) to the wall and the other foot reaching into the splits, press your chest towards your standing thigh, lift out of your shoulders and press your standing thigh against the wall. Take as much time as you’d like breathing deep until your hamstrings are happy. (Practice both sides, always)2. Position yourself in the hallway and place your hands shoulder distant apart, fingertips nearly touching your supporting wall. Walk your feet up the opposite wall and press your whole back into the supporting wall. Find a place where your spine can be flat and legs straight. You’ll be wedged in an inverted boat and your hamstrings will be getting the stretch of a lifetime! Only if you feel stable then remove your hands and get creative :)3. Place your hands back down before you go any further. Try removing 1 leg from the boat and straighten it up your supporting wall. If you feel steady then remove your hands. Make sure to practice both sides even if you keep your hands on the ground for one side.4. If you feel steady then get creative! Placing your free foot flat on the wall creates interesting lines, but there are countless things you can do with your hands and free foot. Dusting, eating, chatting, mudras, sexy silhouettes, etc.Have fun! If you take a pic of your Wallflower please share it with me using the hash tag #sarahbethyoga I’d love to see your creative variations! -- source link
