After picking up Yoga I had problems with lunges (still have when I'm not careful) because they could cause twinges and pain in the lower back. First time I got a really good explanation for what's going on and how to fix it. Thanks!
Just wondering if there is a way to do practice that movement without being on the knees. My husband has a lot of back pain while walking, but he's had knee replacements and cannot kneel.
This is a very clear demonstration of the issue and I could really feel the stretch esp on one side even though I did regularly do extreme stretches of the hip flexor. This stretch is functional whereas with the extreme stretches I was practicing a somewhat dysfunctional stretch.
With this movement I found very little tightness in my left hip flexor but my right hip flexor was surprisingly tight. This movement also seemed to relieve some pain in my lower back. Thank you Taro for the clear explanation and demonstration.
Brilliant! I appreciate how Taro has emphasized the importance of intention in retraining of the nervous system, which is the essence of Feldenkrais' Awareness Through Movements! Thank you, Taro, for the clear explanations that have answered my many questions on my "prescribed stretching exercises".
Thank you Taro. I think I am depending more on my lower back than my hips so, as you mentioned here, I feel tired from a short walk. Thank you for keeping drawing attention to the importance of moving from the hips. My mind knows but my habit is stronger😢
I have been practicing this for my left very tight hip flexors . However, my left gluteus gets in the way. since It too is extremely tight. How can I soften these muscles? I have left hip arthritis. I am following most of your exercises and find them so useful . However, walking is still very difficult and I used to be a runner.
My hip flexors are rock tight and it affects many movements negatively. I’ve had no success with other common hip flexor stretches but following your cues had me feeling a noticeable stretch in them right away. This gives me hope that I can finally make headway on this issue. Thank you for sharing this.
Buen dia Taro .mucho te agradecería ❤si colocaras sub titulos en Spanich. Te sigo pero debo saber lo q explicas y lo haria con mas consciencia 😊Gracias.
❤ Gracias por tus vídeos, por tus charlas y a enseñarnos a la gente común a trabajar nuestro cuerpo de una forma natural lejos de exhibicionismos y de una forma que respeta el cuerpo, la mente y el corazón. Se lo dice uno con caderas rígidas y que ha incorporado poco a poco algunas de tus rutinas. Estoy aprendiendo. No es fácil y uno siempre tiene duda de si algo estará haciendo mal. Tengo 50 años y practico ballet para adultos también de una forma muy respetuosa para el cuerpo. Y me encanta tu canal.Ayuda mucho. Saludos desde España, Barcelona. ❤❤❤
i also have shorts for people who just want to see movements. but my focus is to help people understand "why" and "how" they move so they can really change their deep habitual patterns. I understand not everyone wants to learn that, and I'm perfectly fine with that.
@ColoursEverywher not watching the video with FREE information is also an option, instead of complaining about how the content is structured, but I'm guessing that's too much like common sense for some people...

yes, you can practice in standing. you can place your front foot on a step stool.
@@TaroIwamoto thank you!

This is going to take some work for me. But if I am better off in a month than I am today then it is worth it. Thank you for sharing these things.

Hmmm, so i guess doing a couch stretch should also be done this way?
what is a "couch stretch"?

Thanks!
thank you for your support!
6 mins before you even came close to describing the movement

That's great. You just talk too much for my liking.
But did you even listen bc in the first 15 seconds he describes what he is going to talk about.
Oh ya, and the title. Lol.

And there's someone who doesn't understand feedback. I think your Mom is calling you dinner.
