#yogahollis . . #psoas #/ #hipflexors #stretch . Finished #crossfitopen #18point1? How are your #hips? Did you stretch? Tight hips after #wod? Here are 3 stretches that can provide relief: . 1. Low lunge w/ elevate foot - Drive your front heel through the block and energetically pull that heel to your back knee, and pull your back knee to your front heel. Firm outer hips into the midline, lengthen buttocks away from lower back. Resist sticking bottom out behind you; don’t place all your weight on back knee. Roll top and sides of shoulders towards back body, not leaning or rounding forward. Gently drive hips forward to feel stretch in back leg’s psoas. #ajaneyasana . 2. Bridge Pose - Lie on back, legs bent / knees up, feet hip distance apart, toes slightly turn in, not out. Roll top and sides of shoulders down into floor. Press arms, feet down; lift hips up. Lengthen buttocks away from lower back towards back of knees. Then, drive hips up higher to feel stretch in hip flexors. #setubandhasarvangasana #bridgepose . 3. Supine Psoas Stretch - Lie on back. Bend knees, feet flat on floor, place #Yoga block under sacrum, not in lower back. Roll top and sides of shoulders down into floor. Keep one leg bent, foot on floor, draw a thigh into chest, and hold. Slowly extend opposite leg, flex both feet. Anchor extended leg by pressing heel down and forward to straighten leg as much as possible, without locking out knee. As you do this, gently press down bent leg closer into chest, toning, not squeezing buttocks; firming outer hips into midline. The stretch should be in the top of extending thigh psoas. . . . . #crossfityoga #yoga #selfcare #wellness #bflowyoga #brickcrossfit #brickgrandcentral #crossfit (à Brick New York)
