Our focus lately has been hips which are pretty darn fascinating if you ask me. It’s been fun to spend time on this area of the body to unravel advanced postures, find greater range of motion, and build strength within areas that can be pretty weak. Our peak pose during Dynamic Power Flow @umeyogaoakland today was Sage II which requires a solid balance between strength and flexibility throughout our entire pelvic region. 💪🏼🧘🏼♀️ In class, I like to beak down Sage 2 or EPK2 with build into 4️⃣ parts, shown in the video when you swipe right. 1️⃣ From three leg dog, bring your knee to shoulder (make contact if possible) 2️⃣ Three leg dog, bring your knee to shoulder making contact, shift forward on the back toes, and chataranga your arms 3️⃣ Three leg dog, knee to shoulder, chataranga the arms and extend the front leg while resting on the shelf your arm creates 4️⃣ Three leg dog, knee to shoulder, chataranga arms, extend front leg AND squeeze the back leg glutes similar to locust pose this will help to lift off the back leg... Taking FLIGHT! ✨ Pro-tip: use your momentum going forward to our all these pieces together and if your jammies are too tight to extend take flight with knees bent! 🙏🏼✨🧘🏼♀️ #yoga #howto #yogateacher #oaklandyoga #community #eastbay #hips #tutorial #sagepose #epk2 #dowhatfeelsgood #satvaliving (at Ume Yoga) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bu1s064FlRY/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=v1z7e2vua2ns
