#SummerFunYoga Day 5

#SUMMERFUNYOGA CHALLENGE. Day 5 is #ReversePlank / #Purvottanasana. All my Ashtangi's out there can I can I hell yeah??!! Haha I feel like this posture is the single most skipped posture in Primary Series. I think because it can be uncomfortable - we "lose it" in the sequence. Strengthens your hip adductors and abductors, lower back, and of course your hip flexors. Two options for this pose when it comes to your legs. To modify - plant your feet in front of you about hips width distance apart to set yourself up for reverse table top. To challenge yourself - extend your legs out in front of you, side by side, point those toes to the earth, and internally rotate your thighs. When you place your hands behind you make sure all ten fingers are spread wide, ground through your fingertips and palms. Roll your shoulder head back, lift your heart, and ONLY if you are comfortable here - hips lift up towards the sky. ️️HELPFUL TIP - doing this in the pool makes your body weigh half your actual weight so doing the full expression is so much easier haha ️️.
