#splitpress

[kianangyoga]

Welcome to day 4 of #kianangyogatutorials : #STANDINGSPLIT! Today’s pose is Warrior III. This is a powerful pose that asks for a lot of core, glute, and quad engagement. It lengthens the hamstrings and hip flexors while help you to find balance. I love transitioning from this pose into standing split because it gets you into the alignment of squaring the hips and creating active energy through both legs. PLUS, since I'll be taking you through #splitpress too, this pose sets up your body for handstand (core/rib/hip alignment, joint stack from hands to lifted foot...). . . Remember to stay tuned for my FREE yoga class on the 11th that takes you through all of the poses of this week! 🤗🙏🏼 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . #Yoga #YogaEveryDamnDay #YogaEveryWhere #IGYogaCommunity #yogi #yogini #ILoveYoga #Strong #YogaInspiration #YogaLove #YogaFun #YogaLife #YogaPractice #PracticeYogaChangeYourWorld #Fit #Fitness #YogaPose #Strength #Balance #YogaProgress #Flexible #Flexibility #YogaTeacher #yogatutorial #presshandstand https://www.instagram.com/p/BtoMpbCAXB6/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1kftyvzma28j9

💙FREE YOGA CLASS💙 . . Welcome to day 7 of #kianangyogatutorials : #STANDINGSPLIT! We’ve finally made it to the last day! I’ve given you several options for you to work with... . . IMAGE 1: Standing Split against the wall ✨Start with your bottom heel flush against the wall and slide your top leg up the wall ✨If you’re hamstrings are tight, then take your bottom foot further away from the wall ✨Keep the hips square ✨Take hands to blocks if that works better for you ✨Think about pressing hips towards wall ✨You can come off the wall as well after practicing this to notice a difference . . IMAGE 2: Floating Standing Split against the wall 🔥This option is great for practicing engagement for #splitpress or toe taps. It starts to train you to compress thigh to stomach, which is what’s needed for pressing and toe tapping. 🔥For this option, press your hands into the floor, engage your core and hip flexors, plug your femur bone into your hip socket to lift the leg up (”descending” the femur bone) . . VIDEO 3: Split Press 💥Think of the engagement from image 2 and set yourself up in a handstand prep. position (shoulders over wrists, hollow body, hips square...). 💥In a standing split position, compress thigh to stomach as much as you can. 💥Lean the shoulders forwards to transfer weight to hands. 💥Engage core and hip flexors, keep the compression as you descend the femur bone into the hip socket and press the hips up over the shoulders. I added in a baby toe tap on the way down too. 💥Option to place your bottom foot on a height (block, chair, etc.) to make the #pressup more accessible if you’re still working on it! The higher you can lift your back leg and compress thigh to stomach, the easier it will be. . . Put this all in to practice in my #freeyogaclass available on my igtv channel now! . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . #Yoga #YogaEveryDamnDay #YogaEveryWhere #IGYogaCommunity #yogi #yogini #ILoveYoga #Strong #YogaInspiration #YogaLove #YogaFun #YogaLife #YogaPractice #PracticeYogaChangeYourWorld #Fit #Fitness #YogaPose #Strength #Balance #YogaProgress #Flexible #Flexibility #YogaTeacher #yogatutorial #presshandstand #inversion https://www.instagram.com/p/BtwQ_8Elbu2/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1q8f0y2c6z0np

Welcome to day 6 of #kianangyogatutorials : #STANDINGSPLIT! Today’s pose is any variation of #split! I demo'd a few options above. For half or full split, you can use props under the hands or where needed. If you're going to practice #splitpress with me tomorrow, you can practice #invertedsplit today as well - kick up to L handstand, start to backbend as you split the legs farther and farther apart, reach through the toes! Think of yourself as a teeter-totter! . . Remember to stay tuned for my FREE yoga class on the 11th that takes you through all of the poses of this week! 🤗🙏🏼 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . #Yoga #YogaEveryDamnDay #YogaEveryWhere #IGYogaCommunity #yogi #yogini #ILoveYoga #Strong #YogaInspiration #YogaLove #YogaFun #YogaLife #YogaPractice #PracticeYogaChangeYourWorld #Fit #Fitness #YogaPose #Strength #Balance #YogaProgress #Flexible #Flexibility #YogaTeacher #yogatutorial #presshandstand #inversion https://www.instagram.com/p/BttX4_GFhpd/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=7nro68cgeawa
