Stretching for Friday. #repost from @angelakukhahnyoga in the #Demi4Fabletics Hustle Outfit.
@angelakukhahnyoga's instructions:
Spend 5-10 breaths in each pose, then switch sides.
.
😘Place a block on an angle against the wall. Think pyramid pose and place your right foot on the block. Step your left foot back about three feet and hips distance apart. Square your hips. Walk your hands up the wall. Pyramid like this is amazing for tighter hamstrings as it places your pelvis in a good position. A lot of times when you have tight hamstrings the pelvis ends up tucked under which is not ideal if you want to stretch your hamstrings.
.
😘If possible walk your hands further down the wall. Let your head rest on your forearms and then line your forearms up with your shoulders and wrists.
.
😘Twisted Triangle
.
😘Low Lunge. Walk your hands back alongside your hips. Lift up from your pelvic floor and lower belly. Square your hips. Feel your inner thighs engage as your draw your right hip back and your outer left hip forward. Loop your shoulder blades down your back as you lift your sternum bone to the sky.
.
😘Rest your right hand on your left inner thigh and sweep your left arm up and back. Keep lifting up and out of your pelvis.
.
😘Pincha Mayurasana. Measure the distance that you need to be from the wall by sitting on the floor with your legs straight facing the wall and the balls of your feet on the wall. Place your blocks where your hips are. Then get up and place your hands where your blocks are. Ta da! Magic! Place your hands on either side of a block and frame it with your index fingers and thumb. Root down through your hands and kick up. Square your hips by rolling the inner thigh of the leg that is on the wall down towards the floor and drawing the outer hip of the leg in the air towards the wall. Then imagine your are squeezing a rubber ball between the tops of your thighs. Pull your heart towards the wall as you reach through your toes.
