If you’re looking to improve your flexibility and haven’t found the right routine yet.
Thanks for sharing
📌Modifications are just as effective as the advanced versions! Yes, you read that right!🤓Depending on where you are at any given time in your life, your muscles respond when they are CHALLENGED!💪🏻Never feel bad that you can’t do the “advanced” version of something. As long as you are challenging your muscles, that is all that matters!👏🏻
Modifications:1. Floating headstand straddle taps - NOT FOR BEGINNERS! If you feel comfortable on your head but want to have more control, try weight shifting with one leg. The goal is to get the feet to feel “light”. Press into the arms and try to keep weight off your head. This will engage your shoulders and core more.
2. Compression leg lifts. Leaning your upper body back will make this exercise more accessible. If you need to, bend the knees.
3. Yogi Squat knee drops - 90/90 knee drops while seated are a great place to start working that internal rotation.
4. Gorilla hand into Malasana with forearms down. Most people struggle with their ankle flexibility. Try lifting the heels by rolling up your mat. Then go from a standing L shape into your deepest squat with heels elevated.
5. Dolphin dive in bear pose. To modify, put knees down and lean shoulders forward as far as you feel in control. Make sure to keep shoulders protracting and pushing the floor away.
6. These are called Mike Tyson pushups, although, I believe he does them with feet on the wall. To modify, put knees down and come forward bending your arms as much as you can pushing up and back into child’s pose.
