Excellent ,thank you. Definitely interested in building hip stability for us older folks with arthritis. The older I get the more important strength in the hip girdle becomes.
This feels like it was made for those of us who have had hip surgeries! Tight IT is often a regular “friend” post surgery and during the long no this of rehab. It can easily tighten up again so thanks for these great insights!
Thanks Jason; I love your slumpy ("bad") tree pose - I'm definitely going to teach that in class! And glad you didn't demonize using the foam roller. ☺ Question for you: when you are teaching something like supta padangusthasana in a very specific way - e.g., going to 45-degrees as you did here rather than a full twist - what type of language do you use to encourage students to explore something other than their maximum range? It sometimes seems like no matter what I say, students are eager to go for the MOST they can do in a pose rather than being willing to explore more subtleties.
Honestly, I just spell out the benefit of the technique honestly and directly. I just tell people we're going to do something a little different to focus on X, Y, or Z. Students are usually amenable to change when they understand the context.
@@JasonCrandellYoga Thank you! That's something I learned to do in my yin yoga classes; I need to incorporate that kind of mindset more into my hatha classes.
I love your fantastically clear anatomical explanations -makes it so much easier to get what's happening and why.Thanks so much!

@@YogiBethC You're welcome, Beth! And, don't forget the strengthening work as well!
How long, or how many reps do you recommend teaching for the side lying leg lift?
6 to 10 on each side is a good rule of thumb. I tend to hold each for a breath or two at the top of the pose.
