This is day 2 of a split sequence created by Yograja.
The beginning.
In this sequence, the foot is first guided to the lower abdomen, then to the chest and finally to the head. The exercise aims to open the hips. The right side is stretched first and then the left. In the picture you can see only the right side. The back remains straight.
I love this position. It is important to tense the leg muscles. The body then quickly adapts to the stretch and you can go deeper into the position. The legs can eventually be moved further apart. The upper body may come closer to the floor. You have to take your time for these types of positions. The hips tilt forward, creating a hollow back as you move forward.
There are so many variations of the lunge. All of them are good. You have to find the right ones for you. A position should be challenging, but not frustrating. Staying in the position longer is a method that stimulates the stretching process. Only when the body is relaxed does it stretch.
For the position in picture two, it would be good for me to rest the hands on two blocks to keep the body upright. That way I fall forward more or less. That takes the stretch out of the right hip.
The end: the muscles are shaken out again. Twists relax the back and hips and neutralize the intense stretches.
You don't always have to do all the exercises, although I really like the sequence. The duration of this sequence is 20 minutes. It's worth watching it on YouTube.
My exercise sessions are more focused when I have a sequence in my head and don't have to keep looking at the screen. However, sometimes it is easier to be guided through an exercise. So many options, so little time.
