The key to backbend isn’t as you might think to be bendy but, to have an open pelvic floor, and flexible hips joints. And, the best way to work on those two characteristics is through lunges. They work wonderfully, believe me. . Exercise 1 repeat both sides . Low Lunge: Hips squared parallel to the floor, 90º angle of the foot with the lower leg, foot rooted into the floor, core engaged and sucked in, chest lifts toward the sky, shoulders down, relaxed and parallel to the hips, long spine, Hips sinking down,  big smile, look forward, and breathe 10 times. . Exercise 2 repeat both sides . Runners Low Lunge: Hips squared parallel to the floor, a 90º angle of the foot with the lower leg, foot rooted into the floor, take the foot behind and pull it toward your gluteus, take the opposite arm up toward the sky, and slightly lean backward. Core engaged and sucked in, chest lifts toward the sky, shoulders down, relaxed, long spine, Hips sinking down,  big smile, look upward, and breathe 10 times. . Exercise 3 repeat both sides . Low Lunge with backbend: Hips squared parallel to the floor, a 90º angle of the foot with the lower leg, foot rooted into the floor, core engaged and sucked in, chest lifts toward the sky, shoulders down, and relaxed, long spine, Hips sinking down. Take both arms up toward the sky, exhale and bend backward, big smile, look at your hands, and breathe 10 times. . . . . . . . . . . . #yogatutorial #yogatutorials #yogalife #fitfluential #yogaaday #yogainspiration #yogafun #yogadaily #yogafit #yogaaddict #yogateacher #igyoga #yogagirl #yogaeverydamnday #yogalove #yogagram #yogajourney #instayoga #yogaeveryday #yogapractice #tuesdaymotivation (at Abhaya Yoga Dumbo) https://www.instagram.com/p/Br6saYjAXrY/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1k94gfycsc6bi

Happy #TutorialTuesday with @elena_miss_yoga ・・・ #YogaTutorialWithElena Today's #pictorial is: Jump back from #bakasana to #chaturangadandasana . Wearing @shopdirtyblondes Using @yogapaws 🐾 🐾 . Jumping back from Bakasana to Chaturanga Dandasana, is a complex movement that requires strong wrists and inner thighs, core strength, and courage. In fact, probably, the biggest challenge ain't the action itself, but break the fear of falling face planted. . However, with daily practice, is absolutely doable. If I can do it, you can do it too. . Here one of the exercises that helped me building the muscles memory necessary to fly fearlessly. . ⛔Exercise . From standing position. Arms parallel to the floor. ➡️Inhale, squat down to Malasa, feet together, and knees into the armpits. Emulating a Bakasana shape. . ➡️Exhale: come back up 👆🏻 Like when you jump back from crane to chaturanga. Repeat X 10 times . . . . . . . . . . . . . . #WearYourMat 🐾 https://www.instagram.com/p/BodS8mRn4i5/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=poxiueod2wwy

#TutotialTuesday is back kiddos! And who doesn’t love a yummy upper-back/shoulder opener, too! ❤️ ・・・ @elena_miss_yoga #YogaTutorialWithElena #shoulderopener . 👖Wearing #arthleticGRAPEKISS @arthleticwear 🐾 Using my favourite props @feetup and @yogapaws . Good morning beautiful omies 🌞 We just closed our suitcases 💼 💼 , and we are waiting our cab 🚖 , to go the airport ✈ California here we come 🇺🇲 . But, before that, I wanted to share with you my favourite shoulder opener exercises. . In my opinion there is no such a thing as too much heart opener practice 😁 . Step 1️⃣ Seat on the floor, with a chair, or your #feetuptrainer Keep your knees together, and bent. Take two light weights, or two battle of water, or soda cans🥤 Now, bend backwards, breathe and relax. Don't push, let gravity do the work for you. You can stay here as long as you can😉 . Step 2️⃣ To make it more intense extend your legs. Keep breathing, and relax. Stay here as long as you can. . Step 3️⃣ Instead of using your two light weights, grab the chair, or #feetup legs. This might feel more intense, and if you don't feel comfortable just back off. You can stay here as long as you can 😉 . Step 4️⃣ For more intensity, extend the legs. Keep breathing and relax . @yoga.tutorials @halonayoga . 💣 💥 Use Code ELENA to get 15 % Off at @arthleticwear #arthleticbabesquad . . . . . . . . . . . . . #yogatutorial #WearYourMat

Thanks to @elena_miss_yoga 💋🙏💖 Happy Fry-yay gorgeous sunshines 🌞 . #YogaTutorialWithElena #lsit #bramcharyasana . Wearing @aquaburns #aquaburns . Good afternoon, I hope Friday is treating you well🌞 . Today's tutorial is about the most dared asana of all L Sit or Bramcharyasana. . ➡️ 🎥In my stories you can find few video tutorials to help you work on L sit. . Unfortunately, there is are no short cuts, it is a challenging arm balance that requires strong cores, and it humbles us every single day. . 📢 The first step to learn L sit, is to USE PROPS 📢 . 1️⃣First try taking two chairs, shoulder distance apart from each other. Put your hands in each one, and lift your feet. It doesn't matter if they lift high. Just create muscles memory. . 2️⃣ When you feel strong enough, instead of two chairs use yoga blocks. . 3️⃣ Then, use yoga straps (look at the picture) The best way is to wrap the straps around your body. Place the straps underneath your armpit, and two inch away from the back of the knees. Then, from Navasana, place the hands next to your hips, press the ground away, shift the upper body weight forward, push the butt backwards and up👆🏻 It might feel difficult at first, and perhaps the feet will be still touching the floor. However, it is a very effective way to create the muscles memory, necessary to lift up freely. . If you try, please let me know how it went 🙏🏻 @yoga.tutorials @halonayoga . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . #yogatutorials #yogatutorial #ashtanga #ashtangayoga #coreworkout #yogagirl #girlpower #picturetutorial #wellnessatwork #yogapractice #yogajourney #yogislife #igyoga #yogiofinstagram #bestyogapeople #fitafter40 #wellness #wellnesscoordinator #yogateacher #londonyoga #namaste #athleisure #athleisurewear #sportsluxe #athleticwear #yogafashion #wellnessprogram

Learn the 9 Steps to Grasshopper Pose with Elena. . Wearing Lilium yoga outfit. Use Code to save 15% ELENA15 . Thanks to @elena_miss_yoga Good afternoon beautiful Yogis🌺 #yogatutorial . #YogaTutorialWithElena #grasshopperpose #parsvabhujadandasana . Wearing @aquaburns 🌺 . 9 Steps Tutorial to Grasshopper Pose. . Parsva Bhuja Dandasana is not a beginner arm balance; it requires wrists and, core strength, as well as open hips, and intense torsion of the torso. . Perhaps, you won't be able to perform Grasshopper after the first try, but with those simple exercises, you will. I did, look at my stories to see where I was 3 years ago. . 1. Hip opener: double pigeon, if you feel pain at your knees, do not push, try to relax and breathe x10 times. 2. When you feel comfortable enough, twist to the side, and breathe x10 times. 3. Then, bend forward and try to place the foot into the armpit, prayer hands, relax, and breathe x 10 times 4. Afterwards, take the knee of the leg above up, sink the hips towards the floor. Breathe x10 times. 5. Next, extend the leg on the bottom to the side, and slowly deepen into a forward fold. You must feel an intense twist and the hip opening. If you start feeling knee pains, come up a little. Breathe x 10 times 6. Now, the hip opening and the twist start to get really intense. Bend the leg below, place the foot of the opposite leg, safely (be sure to not strain the ankle) near to the knee. Twist to the side, and slide gently the foot into the armpit. Breathe x10 times 7. Then, come to chair pose, place the foot of the leg you are working slightly higher than the knee of the opposite leg. Twist to the side and try place the foot into the armpit. Breathe x 10 times 8. After that, place the hands on the floor, the foot as close as possible to the armpit, and shift the body weight forward. 9. Extend the leg below, placed next to the foot, and breathe x5 times. . Repeat the same sequence with the other leg. In Yoga, it is really important to work both sides equally. . ➡️ For more tutorials leave me a comment with your request. . . . . . . . #aquaburns
