@miriamindries on Hamstrings! 🥓🎻 ・・・ ✨HAMSTRING FLEXIBILITY✨⠀ Compass pose (Parivrtta Surya Yantrasana) can seem challenging, however like most asanas, it takes time to allow the body to open & be ready for it. Always respect your body & let your ego aside when stepping on the mat. This is an advanced asana that requires patience, preparation & body awareness.⠀ This pose requires flexibility in the hamstrings & groin area, and preparation includes opening these parts slowly & with a gentle approach.⠀ Physical benefits:⠀ ✨increased flexibility in the hamstrings⠀ ✨opens the hips.⠀ ✨strengthens the core.⠀ ✨shoulder opening.⠀ Therapeutic benefits:⠀ ✨patience.⠀ ✨boosts energy.⠀ ✨activates & unblocks the lower chakras.⠀ ✖️Always check the contraindications for each asana before attempting, especially with advanced asanas like this. . . . . . . . #yogainspiration #yogatutorials #yogateacher #yogalife #asana #yogaposes #flexiblegirls #yogisofinsta #compasspose #yogaeveryday #surrender #patience #healthybodyandmind #mondaymotivation #aloyoga #learnyoga #hatha #igyogacommunity https://www.instagram.com/p/B4Sh3SPF1_M/?igshid=yiad4e9usvb8

Namaskar to this beautiful spot... a perfect place for yoga. 🌱 🌱 🌱 🌱 Bridge pose | Setu Bandha Sarvangasana This pose is great pose for opening up the shoulders and chest, strengthening your back, glutes, and hamstrings, stretching your hip flexors and thighs, and increasing flexibility of the spine while calming the mind! If you’d like to know how to perform it: Lie on your back with your knees bent and your feet hip-width apart, trying to bring your heels directly below your knees with your arms alongside your body. Make sure to keep the feet facing forward and not allow them to turn out. The eyes can be open with a soft gaze straight up above or have the eyes closed. Use the next inhale to press the elbows and tops of the shoulders into the floor, lift your chest, and bring your shoulder blades together. Press into the feet and slowly send the knees forward, lifting the hips away from the ground without clenching the gluteal muscles. The chest should be actively coming towards the chin but the chin should be moving away from the chest. If you want to take it further, you can straighten the elbows and interlace your fingers underneath you, drawing the shoulder blades together. Press the back of the head into the floor and lift the chest more to broaden the collarbones. With this lift, remember to bring the chin away from the chest. Make sure to take a few breaths in this position to allow the body to get used to being in the position. When you’re ready, unlace the fingers and use the next exhale to slowly lower your hips back down to the floor. Great!!!! 🌱 🌱 🌱 🌱 #yogaoutdoors #todaysearthingspot Picture taken by: @maneesha05 (at Davie, Florida)
