Blankets, bolster, blocks, chairs and straps in Paschimottanasana??? Yes, please!!! Students who experience limited mobility in the hamstrings can tend to round the lumbar and thoracic regions of the spine in Seated Forward Fold. This rounded lumbar position can create a posterior tilt in the pelvis and increase the stress load in the lower back = increased low back pain. Not to mention the excessive kyphotic rounding that can happen in the thoracic spine, which we already tend to have anyway (as mentioned yesterday).
Supporting our students with props to create lift and length will help maintain an elongated spine as well as allowing them to feel supported and more able breath smoothly and to relax into the pose.
Learn to utilize props like never before at Leeann’s Restorative Yoga Therapy training, join her Sept 20-22 at yogaview ‘s Chicago location.
