rather new to this .... I have such sore hips and low back! It keeps me awake. I feel great having done this .... recommendation for nip openers welcome! I have had sciatica and psoas problems. Thanks!
Yes, very yummy practice indeed. Thanks for all of the insights. What does it mean when there's little pops in the sacrum like when we shift the legs from side to side on our back? (I've also heard that popping when I do half moon against the wall.)
Hi Christel, looks like I missed this comment and question first time around. Glad the practice feels good to you. Re: popping, most of the best whizes, anatomy geeks and therapists I've asked about this say it's possibly due to tendons rolling over the edges of bones from asymmetry and therefore slight instability causing that phenomenon. Bring your breath and as much open awareness as you can to the area and see if you get inner suggestions. Like, moving more slowly, carefully. If you're not getting pain during the yoga nor later at least it seems like a benign bodily phenomenon. For me, moving slower helps.
Hi Susan, I'm so glad you found these classes help your body AND mind to feel happy. Our joy radiates out in blessings to many others. Perhaps you can allow yourself to feel that too. Love, P
Thank you! I loooooooved this class. It was like you had magical insight into my anatomy and knew exactly how to fix all of the things I struggle with. Using the blocks to push/pull on that last seated posture was the absolute best!
Hi Jennifer~thanks so much for letting me know how much you enjoyed this hips and core class. I love working through these poses slowly enough to really feel and awaken the sensitivity that they bring. And the feeling of release and freedom of movement afterwards. Ahhhh. Enjoy! Patricia
