re the concave/convex law, i'm pretty sure lizzie stated her mortar and pestle analogy correctly the first time. the mortar is the bowl, and the pestle is the stick for grinding. the mixup with this terminology was really confusing at first.. basically, our joints do prefer "mortar around the pestle" movement.
New understanding for me about this, thank you. Could Mary explain a little bit more about how to save the knees when going down stairs or a decline? This is huge to me because a lot of my students hate declining. I've told them to make sure their entire foot is on the step to ensure posterior muscle engagement. What else?
I'm pretty sure Mary wouldn't say it that way. The concept is this: if you want to stretch your hamstrings - major muscles of the backs of the legs - use gravity to help you. These are big muscles that can take a lot of stretch. Supta padangustasana is great - but we are basically using the strength of our arms to try to stretch the hamstrings. Does that make sense?
This is milled gold ✨ GRACIAS Mary & Lizzie
Thankyou !

Need a clarification: uttanasana is good. Supta padangustasana not so good? 😅
