Strong #dancelegs and feeling the hips from inside : my 8 #YogaDanceAir Tips •Which of these 8 tips is more useful to you?Let me know in the comments below. ***Your legs are attached to the pelvis... STRONG LEGS START FROM THE HIPS! 1. Turn out turn out turn out. Even in Parallel, you need to keep opening the hips: widen the space between the iliac spines; isquions will get closer, and you will feel all the external rotation muscles work. 2. When you dégage and lift the legs a la seconde, the turn out makes you turn the upper part of the thigh outwards and back. The muscles UNDER the leg (hamstrings) + #PSOAS are the ones doing the work. Not the quads only. It feels like an outward spiral is reaching out from your hip to the pinky toes. 3. Tittibasana variation: psoas power + quads BUT the secret lies elsewhere: what make your legs lighter is the turn out! 4. If you are in the #YogaTrapeze or #AerialYoga hammocks, you first need to bring the knees to the sides of the armpits, it will help raise the knee as high as you can. Then develop and find your side straddle position. (A la seconde split) ***GET THE BODY WEIGHT CORRECT 5. Practice releve: instead of forcing on the calves like a manic by raising up directly, FIRST shift the weight of the balls of the foot, THEN raise! ***STRONG LEGS COME WITH THE RIGHT BONE ALIGNMENT 6. Align isquions/sits bones, knees and heels : when on tendu/allongé (extended legs), makes sure all three are aligned 7. Press of the outside of the ankle inwards in parallel or forward when in turn out. By the way the bones of the heel and ankle have a natural tendency to turn in. We have to counter that by engaging the tibia anterior muscle and pressing the outside ankle bone inward or forward. No sickled feet! WHAT YOU WEAR IS IMPORTANT! 8. Wear shorts when you dance!! * join us with * join us with @LindaFaoro and @anasmayogadance Feb 1-2 for an immersive @LaRuche. #Backtogatestofusion https://www.yogadansebienetre.com/back-to-gates-to-fusion-2020.html #movementanatomy #contemporarydancer #danceteachers #movementgeek #dancefusion #bodycontrol #dancemastery #yogadance #stronglegs #yogadanseair #anasma photo by @aguilar.gilles (à Lyon, France) https://www.instagram.com/p/B4GLbMGlQb9/?igshid=fdybvdxhhqfb
