Workshop part of the series: Next Level Yoga
True Liberation for Hamstrings, Inner and Outer Thighs
Get set for TRUE Hamstring/Inner/Outer thigh Liberation. Rather than starting with ‘just stretching’, this workshop uses strengthening drills for the thigh muscles, launching into effective ‘activated stretching’ techniques from runners’ science. Goal is to maintain strength in the legs even when they are stretched out (end range of motion). Springboard pose is Hanumanasana (Yoga splits), using the skills from our backbend workshop for the back leg. The street-smart alignment technology of Anusara Yoga will provide special hip alignment cues that truly deepen your forward folds.
In addition to effective legwork, there will be a fair amount of core activation including arm and shoulder press. Advanced practitioners will have the opportunity to try out their ‘new legs’ on modifications of split legged arm balance pose (Koundinyasana)
What you'll get:
• targeted warm-up, specific to each pose
• hamstring, inner and outer thigh strength and mobility
• functional movement in the hips
• core strength
• more self confidence & staying-power
• poses explored (ample variations and modifications provided!): Forward Fold and Half Forward Fold variations, Half Yoga Splits / Yoga Splits (Hanumanasana), Option to play with Arm balance Splits.
• variations on transitioning into arm balances from various positions in a vinyasa flow
This all-levels workshop is designed for students and yoga teachers. Modifications provided.
