Hi Wynter! Happy that everyone can get a little grounding and release from this sequence. Thanks for letting me know. Hope you have a beautiful day. Lydia
Ahhhh Lydia, this is so nice for my tight hamstrings, and crackly knees. Turning the foot gives a more intense feeling in the side IT band. I can't reach the floor when extending to the side, but using a block under my shin helps me to relax in the position. I just love the osscilating, it helps me extend a pinch more. Flushing the legs is wonderful! I walk 2 miles a day, and I am doing this today before my walk. Opening up those little fibers, and the hips, I believe will make a difference in my walk. Thanks for another gentle, sensitive session. So grateful.
Katarina I love doing this practice a few times a week. One thing that I love about having your legs up for a while is that it helps move stagnant fluid. In the Hatha Yoga Pradipika it says if you have your legs above your heart for 3 hours your can conquer death. I always laugh about this! But it certainly feels good to get that flush! Especially when you're on your feet a lot. Sending you big love! Lydia Zamorano
Another gem! I love how much fun it is to stretch, to get more flexible, but it has consequences. My cat Cassidy tried to climb on my chest while I grabbed my big toe (new milestone) and she was love-biting me. Chuckle. So many cool insights, especially with fascia discussion. I needed this flush. I road 118 miles yesterday with 8,400 elevation gain. Really taxing and way too long away from home, but the Catskills + Autumn = Epic.
