when i do reclined hero pose (Supta virasana), i feel like i'm either
(a) in a surgery room
(b) a fish out of water waiting for a bird to prey on me with my belly up
(c) a dog waiting for it's owner to give me belly rubsgood thing i'm not any of those b/c i hope to live a healthy life regardless of how long it is heh.
maybe being a dog doesn't seem that bad if my owner happened to be oprah (OPRAH ADOPT ME. woof woof š¶)
this is a great pose for people who have terrible posture like me, who hunch over in front of a desk and have tight hip flexors, or anyone who just wants to stretch the front side of their belly wishing that oprah would adopt an adult child
š” Priorities:
1/ hip internal rotation
2/ hip extension (lengthening of your hip flexors)
3/ chest opener
š± Poses / drills:
1/ pinwheel IR drills
2/ supported fish pose variation
3/ half frog
4/ BLOCK!! can't get your booty down?? get yo block
