What expectations do you have for a one-on-one service? Have you ever been disappointed? Or Exceptionally pleased?

Happy Squat is one of those genius mind tricks .heimann plays on you to get you to hinge from your hips better—a functional movement we need to be able to do well for healthy hips and low back.

Warrior 1 Tune Up! Try these if your Warrior 1 feels uncomfortable/painful on your low back, and/or your back leg’s hip, knee or ankle:
🎉✨🎉
𝗢𝗽𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝟭: You don’t get the same grounding (and energy exchange) through your back leg, but if none of the other options help, just do this. It’s really not that serious—It’s just yoga! ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
🎉✨🎉
𝗢𝗽𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝟮: You don’t have to have your feet so far away from each other from front to back. This can help some of the low back and hip issues. HOW TO: Before coming into the pose, step the back foot forward a little, then don’t step the front foot as far forward as usual.
🎉✨🎉
𝗢𝗽𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝟯: In practical terms: When coming into the pose don’t lower your back heel as far in as you normally do. This is less external rotation of the back leg, so it might help with some of your ankle, knee, or hip discomfort.
🎉✨🎉
𝗢𝗽𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗡𝗢𝗣𝗘! The “traditional” cue of heel to heel alignment in this pose just doesn’t make any sense anatomically*. It’s going to be much less comfortable with the cranking of your hips, back knee, and ankle, and less stable with this narrow base.
✨🎉✨

Thanks to .westberg for the suggestion!

*for most people with regular bodies. Some people may have done joint specific training that make this fine. It’s all very personal.

Which of these downward facing dogs is best?
𝗗𝗼𝗲𝘀 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗱𝗼𝘄𝗻 𝗱𝗼𝗴 𝗷𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝗳𝗲𝗲𝗹 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗳𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲? Strained in the shoulders? Tight hamstrings? Wrist pain? Then here are some good modifications you can make—and paraphrasing one of my favorite tweets ever—“They’re all good dogs, Brent.”
1️⃣💖
If you answered yes to all of the above this will be a good option for you. The hands on blocks and bent knees can decrease the pull on the hamstrings. Heels not down? WHO THE F*CK CARES ABOUT WHERE YOUR HEELS ARE?!?!? Focus on keeping your core engaged and spine long. “But my biceps aren’t by my ears?” I promise its okay. If you don’t have the range of motion to do that comfortably in this weight bearing pose, then don’t do it! Do this in stead.
2️⃣💖
A non-block version of #1. By putting hands directly on the ground there’s more pressure (& better energy exchange) through the wrists, so this is great if your wrists are fine but you have the other things going on.
3️⃣💖
Shoulders feel good when going into this full flexion (bicep by ear)? Then go for it, as long as you’re lifting your armpits up into the tops of your shoulders, you’ll be good. Because pressing shoulders down into the ground really strain the ligaments that hold the head of your humerus in place.
4️⃣💖
No problems? Then go ahead and reach those heels to the ground. But don’t do it at the expense of rounding in your low back. The pull of your heels down can pull all the way up the back of your legs to tip your pelvis back which flattens or even lifts/rounds your low back. This all makes it harder to keep your core engaged.

Where should you put your feet in Warrior 2?!?
🦿🦶🦵🏾
It depends! Any of these could be the right option for you. Your foot placement (how wide they are both front & back AND side to side, where the toes/knees face) are all reflections of your hips. The way your femurs move in your hip socket will dictate how and where you can put your feet comfortably in Warrior 2 (and any pose, really).
🧘🏻‍♀️🧎🏽🧍🏾‍♀️
Warrior 2 requires a lot of hip abduction in both legs, and a good degree of flexion and external rotation in the front leg. If you have restrictions in any of these ranges it will show up in discomfort in hip, knee or ankle. So instead of cranking to get the aesthetic goal of what you see on Yoga Magazine (is that a thing?), adjust your placement relative to hip function.
Video on how to do this forthcoming.
