βͺΒ€|β‘| #CatsFireflySeries |β‘|Β€βͺ . β· D A Y 15 - TITTIBHASANA | SMALL INSECT POSE OR FIREFLY POSE β· . We've MADE it! π I absolutely loved hosting this one, I loved meeting you all and I'm so honoured you joined me. Thank you so very much. I'm not the most conventional teacher and I don't follow rule books so I'm always amazed that anyone joins at allπ± . Everything I've shown you in the past 15 days contributed in some way in me achieving Tittibhasana. Every practice is a practice and everytime you get on the mat will without doubt help grow your practice no matter what you work on. Another important thing I should mention is REST, have you ever walked away from something for a few days and come back to it and nail it effortlessly.Β That's because rest is key I cannot stress the importance of rest, even active rest, just rest. . Option 1 is IMO easier to access but more difficult to hold for a longer length of time whereas option 2 is harder to access but once you're there it's way easier to hang out here for longer. . This pose is not about insane strength or crazy flexibility it's all technique and balance. (Of course some flexibility and some strength help too, . Remember to try any of the previous days as your warm up, use props like the strap or blocks for your hands.use whatever worked for you. . Start in standing, the closer your can keep your feet to shoulder width the easier it will be to get the legs high up the arms. . Snuggle each shoulder behind each knee. Bend the knees. . Get hands as close behind ankles or slightly wide than ankles. . As your sit the butt down lower your wrists will relax. . Bend elbows out to the sides. . Sit butt down low FIRST if you're doing option 2 then squeeze legs together to extend them. Then straighten the arms. Rest your butt on the back of the inner forearms. . Option 1 needs a cat spine Lift those hips and squeeze legs. . Good luck, you CAN do it βπ . ____________________________________ . #CatsFireflyNews π€ .
