I haven't watched your vids for a couple years but now that I'm more advanced in my practice, and doing a lot of strengthwork, it's an absolute dream to go back to your foundational series and really spend time absorbing, working and relaxing in a single pose - such a change of pace, I'm using them to set me up for busy mornings! Amazing how sometimes you can engage your whole body with a pose rather than a sequence! Thank you 🙂

Hey, I have the same problem. Mid to lower back is really tight and sore when I do this. It's more comfortable when I bring my feet (way) further out, but then I feel like I'm bringing my shoulders too far forward to be able to reach around my toes. I'm guessing this is from years of bad posture, any suggestions to poses that will enable me to regain my long lost flexibility?

Just wondering if you had considered putting together a pre-natal yoga video? I've struggled to find many online and as a result have really neglected my practice throughout my first trimester. Now I'm into my second trimester and childbirth is looming ever closer I really want to prepare my body so a selection of poses to incorporate and ones to avoid would be so helpful.

Thanks Lizzie

I've been doing your yoga videos for a couple of weeks now and I love them, I get on so well with them. I've also been working my way through your foundations of yoga series which is helpful when you don't have a teacher on hand to talk you through poses.

When I do this bound angle pose though I end up with a sore back, sort of lower middle and centre - is this because I'm doing it wrong?

Thanks

Yes! Me too! Fascinating and important. Lets share our findings!

Yay! Yes, so many yogic gifts for pregnant women that should not be kept secret! This is one of them. We would already stand to create more space in the hips and groin but especially as your baby moves through the pelvis- we need to make some space, stretch and release all of the muscles/ligaments/tendons in this area of the body. This way you will take pressure out of the hips and be happily prepared for child birth. (OMG-You are going to have a baby!!!Wheeee!!!) Do a butterfly or a variation each day. Sit on a blanket (or two) to lift your hips high and as your belly grows larger come to sit on the edge of the blanket- to really let the knees drop, create space for baby and give those hips a break. Love you. <3
