    Relax the glutes- but keep squeezing or hugging the inner thighs in towards one another. Also, scoop the tail bone up to elongate through the lower back. How is that? Think about lengthening your lower back and tail towards the backs of the knees/front of the mat. Use your foundation- anything that is touching the mat to press up and out of and support! xo

    Day 172 (part 2!) of the current run. This is the longest I've held Bridge in one go, dang! For anyone skimming the comments wondering where other variations can be, the first half of the Shoulder Stand foundations video does some bridge work, including a couple variations that aren't on this one.
    I'm loving the outtakes at the end of these - lowkey would love to see them in modern videos.

    I love the little tip you gave about foot placement at the end of your finger tips! Do you have a tip for the Warrior Pose like that? I always feel like maybe my feet aren't far enough apart, but if I try to increase it I lose my balance. I really don't know what the proper foot placement for Warrior is, but in all the pictures it looks like they're practically doing the splits! Which I am able to do, for that matter, but I am just confused on proper foot placement.

    • @jenniferbenson1472
      @jenniferbenson1472 2 года назад

      @@mariacristina1646 Hi, I am a yoga teacher. I know this is an old comment, but for anyone else experiencing this problem, I'm guessing the pain is from tight quads, particularly the rectus femoris, which crosses the hip joint and the knee joint, so is being doubly stretched here. When you practice bridge pose, don't let your knee go farther forward than your ankle (avoid the deeper version shown in this video if you're experiencing pain). Focus on proper alignment - knees pointing straight up, feet flat - rather than lifting your hips to their maximum height. You could also try a more restorative version of bridge - by placing blocks under your hips so you can relax into this pose and get a stretch without pain.

    Adriene, I was wondering, I've been watching many of your videos and was curious to know, what is the purpose of doing everything calmly and mindfully? Is the purpose to have our body naturally relax? I'm a scientist so I guess I am curious from a real biological perspective if you have one. Thanks for the videos. :)

    • @SarahHarveyExpatOfTheWorld
      @SarahHarveyExpatOfTheWorld 6 лет назад +1

      The purpose is that yoga itself is an act of mindfulness, whether we are talking about asana- the poses, or in the discplines and way of living through yoga. In breathing, eating, sitting, moving, we try to do so mindfully. It helps us to focus on the present moment itself. Sure there's a hell load of science and research to back it up, but it's not really about science, it's about checking in with ourselves in the most subtle ways- which is difficult to do if we're thrashing about running from one thing to the next.

  • @mariacristina1646

    Hi everyone, hi Adriene, I'm a beginner. Is it wrong/dangerous to keep the feet farther from the sit bones? If I keep the heels where my fingertips land I can't lift up much, because I feel a lot of pressure on my knees. On the contrary, the farther I keep my heels the easiest is for me to lift up...

      Hi! I'm really not an expert on this but you might have the same thing as I do: short arms. If your arms are a bit shorter than (proportionally) "normal people", then some poses can be a bit challenging. With this posture, I just decided to find what feels good ;) and keep the feet an inch or two away from my fingertips.

    I really love Adriene's videos but why, oh why must you be so weird about stuff concerning our genitalia? When you first said that it's "very therapeutic for the women" I honestly wasn't sure if you meant period pain or something else. Then, in the outtake (9:40) you slip out "lady problems", and now I'm like... 85 % certain that you meant menstrual pain, but still kinda confused... Damn, lady, your videos are so lovely, I just wish you treated our natural body functions just like you treat breathing or stretching muscles: Use their real names!
