Just came across this on YouTube and had to post this. #stretching is important for any sport or #exercise BUT it’s important to do it right. I have seen some of the best trainers who talk about #humanbiomechanics #kiniseology #exercisescience make a mess of #postexercise static stretching. One of the main reasons we stretch is to allow your body to return to #homeostasis. After a workout, your body's main goal is to return to normal function. Stretching incorrectly defeats the purpose and might cause risk of injury. If Trainers want to practise #yogasana , request PLEASE learn the correct posture before having your client to practise. #paschimottasana needs open #hamstrings to facilitate forward tilt of pelvis, failing which the pelvis is unable to tilt forward causing undue stress on the #vertebraldisc causing #injury . You want to ensure you elongate your spine with proper #breathing encouraging #thoracicextension falling over your thighs. Chest on thigh is what I cue my students which puts your #spine in the safest position. #yogainjury #correctiveexercise #yogaforsports #yogaingym
