Which yoga pose did you have to get out of your comfort zone to try?? 🤔 #yogspiration #yoga
Standing Backbend / Anuvittasana Transformation💥 An intense heart opener and complete front body stretch targeting quads, hips, abdomen, and on top of that it helps build leg strength. Does your standing backbend have to be as deep as the one above to experience these benefits? NO! You can take this backbend to a place you feel comfortable, and it can be about different things. Overcoming fear is a big one since this pose requires you to break out of your comfort zone and trust the process. - Looking at the two photos above, foot placement changed, especially as I got more comfortable with dropping back. The opening of my quads/hip flexors also improved the placement of my feet so they are parallel and closer together. You can splay out your feet slightly, but don’t let them open out too much, it places more strain on the knees and ankles and you won’t learn proper alignment. It’s best to practice with feet as parallel as possible and not do a full drop back vs. constantly putting weight on the inner edges of the feet when you splay the toes out. Shoulder opening played a huge roll in the ability to move my hands further up the legs towards the knees, and the added strength in my thighs helps to keep balance as you move from wheel walking the hands towards the ankles. - Not ready to drop back still? Wheel pose has plenty of the same benefits as a standing drop back and you absolutely don’t need to do this pose to be a yogi ❤️ . @asanavanessa . #yogadaily #yogalove #namaste #instayoga #yogagram #yogajourney #yogalifeyogainspiration #yogapose #yogayogaeverydamnday #yogafundamentals #yogisofinstagram #yogapractice #yogachallenge #igyoga #yogaeverywhere #yogaeveryday #yogini #yogagirl #practiceandalliscoming #yogateacher #yogaaddict #yogaflow #iloveyoga #yogagirls #myyogalife #yogafit #yogamom #yogawarrior
