Hi Gabrielle,

I’ve been having a lot more out of this posture since I have been really pushing down my knees as you recommended.

The thing now is that instead of feeling the stretch on my lower back I feel it on my glutes… :red: Not sure what is going on now.. Any thoughts?

Thank you,

Lil

Hi Liliana

As long as you have the lift incorporated in your hips (and also try to make it radiate through the lower half of your back to go up, up, up) then you should really be OK. But just checking with you, do you feel any resistance to the upward movement? Is it at all possible you are dropping through your hips a little in order to feel the stretch in the arms or by focusing on the push down of the legs? The geometry of this pose would generally dictate lumbar and lower thoracic opening.

Feel free to add more distinctions!!!

Namaste
Gabrielle 🙂

Hi Gabrielle,

I do feel resistance to the upward movement. I try to get my thighs vertical to the floor by lifting up the hips but it feels as if I did not have enough strength to lift up my lower body 🙄

Thank you very much for helping me with this.

All the best to you in Costa Rica!!

I made a post here, and then I realized it might do better in its own thread.
