Sometimes I just need to let my hair down.
This little session was completely un-planned, I went with what ever came next.
I love being up-side-down so there are inversions…
Do what you can, leave what you can’t.
Practice with awareness.
Shine bright
Enjoy
These standing poses will wake up the back of the legs.
Give the poses and your legs time. Muscles take a while to increase their length, so, just like you would not expect your muscles to grow immediately (think Pop-eye) don’t expect to be as bendy as Olive oil immediately either.
The stretch should feel more like a wide stretch in the main part of the muscle rather than a sharp pointy stretching sensation at the top of the leg near the buttocks.
Keep each stretch within your own capacity and enjoy the sensation of fresher feeling legs.
“And…relax” is all this practice is about.
Comfort is key. Breathe smoothly and evenly.
As with all of the practices, please regard your body with the utmost reverence. Look after it, it is the only one you have.
If you need to come out of the poses sooner than prompted, please do so.
Love and shine bright,
Lucy
