YOGABODY - How to Sit in Meditation - Open Your Hips! - Yoga for Flexibility Series
Our Physical Dimension is all about movement, body (skin) care, breathwork and all things which improve our physical body. In this new blog series, published every two weeks, we will share with you some extraordinary videos from YOGABODY which is a yoga teacher owned and operated education company founded by Lucas Rockwood. They are a worldwide leader in professional yoga education and fitness practice programs.
YOGABODY was built on practice, sweat, and struggle. It’s the physical manifestation of everything Lucas Rockwood cares about in life, and his greatest hope is that some of his passion for this practice and lifestyle rubs off on you when you experience your own practice through his videos. Nothing worth doing in life is easy. Movement is more powerful than meditation. And practice is everything.
Every two weeks we will share a new video from the YOGABODY flexibility series so that you too can begin to increase your flexibility - something that is so crucial to our health and wellness, especially as we age. Please scroll down to watch the video and to learn more about Lucas Rockwood, thank you.
Seated meditation can sometimes be uncomfortable, and while you’ve likely experimented with lots of cross-legged variations, one the best way to improve comfort is through targeted stretching exercises.
The most relevant stretches focus on lateral rotation of your hips, hip flexion, and the often-overlooked plantar flexion of your ankles. In this video, we’ll show you some posture variations and some corrective exercises that will target these specific ranges of motion. If you’re consistent, you should see results in a couple weeks, which will hopefully translate into longer, more comfortable seated meditation practice.
BEST PRACTICES
These poses can be done as a sequence or squeezed separately into your day. However, they should never be done before a workout. This is intense stretching, designed to affect change in your soft tissues.
3 POSES WE WILL LEARN
1) Seated Pigeon
2) Passive Squat
3) Lightning Bolt
