Spilts training a bit boring and not working? The Spilts training a bit boring and not working? These movements really helped my splits by stretching both hamstrings (for the front leg) AND quads (for the back leg). Plus they were fun. And not just boring static stretching. 1. Wall toe taps. The leg on the wall gets its quad stretched and the toe tap leg gets the hamstring stretch. And you get the added bonus of some great arm strengthening. 2. Bolster fast slides. Yes I know there will be oh no that is dangerous - I don’t mean you should go wild, I am just suggesting a dynamic movement that will get you warm and stretchy too. 3. Camel leans and up - so tough - I can’t come up yet. Great quad stretch AND strengthens quads too. 4. Wall walks for hamstrings plus a curl up at the end - tough for hamstrings so a bit of strength work coming in there - tip from the epic @jenni_rawlings 😍💪😘 Be 💪💪💪💪💪💪 flexible AS YOU NEED TO BE to do the movements YOU want to do.
We love playing with Yoga poses on the wall. Hug We love playing with Yoga poses on the wall. Huge fun, and great way to bring strengthening into Yoga. From harder to easier pose 1. Vasisthasana/side plank. You can start in plank, if that’s ok move to side plank. Then progress, leg up, then hold toe if you feel stable 2. Triangle on the wall, tougher than it looks. Hold your toe if you can and step to single leg forward fold 3. Knee to elbow crunches, following by hamstring stretch 4. Plank to single leg forward fold Be 💪💪💪💪💪💪 strong AS YOU NEED TO BE to do the movements YOU want to do.
I really want to do this pose! Tips that really re I really want to do this pose! Tips that really really really helped me. 1. Leg up high on a chair, bed, couch - whatever you have. Less to lift up 2. Leg lower down but still not on the ground - blocks, steps… 3. On the wall - this is tough but builds some great arm strength and is huge fun 4. From Crow - try taking one leg off, hover it bent and hold or take it back straight 5. From Standing - this is how I got this pose the first time - I just kept leaning and it happened. 6. From Headstand - just for the feeling of leaning back 7. Where and how to put your knee is crucial - bend your leg fully so that your knee is ROUNDED - if its half bent your knee might be sharp like mine is. Keep it fully rounded and find the flattest place on your tricep. That way its much more fun. 8. Balanced version - this looks more impressive than the other from Crow version but its actually much easier - more of a balance than a strength pose. Be 💪💪💪💪💪💪 strong AS YOU NEED TO BE to do the movements YOU want to do.
Sometimes we REALLY WANT that pose. And we pract Sometimes we REALLY WANT that pose. And we practice and practice and practice. And fail and fail and fail. And sometimes we keep going, a glimpse of how wonderful it will be when we get that pose, everything will be shiny and happy and we will be so content and proud and all things good. Then the pose shows itself. And finally the pose is easy. And we don’t do the pose anymore and run after something else. 😂 Have as much FUN in the JOURNEY whilst you are practicing the movements YOU want to do. #yogafails
Handstand Kick Ups….which works for you??? Some Handstand Kick Ups….which works for you??? Sometimes we just need to play a little to gain confidence with kicking up into Handstand. Get out of our worry brain and just have fun. There are lots of different fun ways of kicking up into Handstand, and some might work for you better than others. Play with these ideas. 1. The ‘Weeeeeeeee’ kick up. Like kids kick up into handstand. Stand up, arms up and say ‘weeeeeeeeeee’ as you kick up. 2. Bent leg hops. Keep your top leg bent, pushing through the heel. Keep the leg high and jump with your standing leg. 3. Stag leg. As you kick up squeeze your standing leg calf to thigh - really squeeze. Allow your top leg to go over your shoulders into a slight split shape. 4. Splits kick up. Keep your legs in a split shape 5. Blocks. This is hard so don’t be surprised! You have to kick up with force to get up here 6. Wall hops. Not ready to kick up yet - try these wall hops. Jump higher and higher each time. Have as much FUN 💪💪💪💪💪💪 AND be as strong AS YOU NEED TO BE to do the movements YOU want to do. #handstandsarehard #handstandsarefun

At Wellness Connection Yoga instructions like this are our pet hate. Its simply not teaching. All Wellness Connection Yoga Teachers are trained to teach Crow whether or not they are able to do Crow as yet. Teachers can analyse what crow needs as a pose, and how each individual’s body and mind will determine what training they need and what their Crow will look look like - which will be different from person to person. Tips in the video. Please share with anyone who wish to do Crow but can’t yet. Be 💪💪💪💪💪💪 strong AS YOU NEED TO BE to do the movements YOU want to do. #crowposetutorial #crowposetips
