Hot Yoga Pain question ?

Hello Jon

I am wondering if you can give me more detail on the problem please! Would you please tell me if you are only experiencing the issue with Standing Bow or is it Floor Bow as well? At what moment are you feeling this issue during the posture? Let me know which other poses you are feeling this sensation.

Can you tell me what you mean when you say you are stretching too far? Whereabouts on your hip do you feel the burning?

I would like some more details please so that I can ask you more of the right questions.

Would you be able to tell me if you are attending a scripted class? That can help me a lot in order for me to point you in the right direction.

Namaste

Hi Jon

I am wondering if we can maybe change the focus on your bow poses. A little tweak to focus on the method of your bow poses differently.

So the first part of the process is finding out how you have actually been doing Standing Bow up until now.
>> Do you currently grab your foot, stretch your arm up and then “charge your body forward” with your body and arm coming down toward the floor? These are the common instructions btw.
>> When you are in Standing Bow do you find it easy to balance?
>> How high is your leg behind you and is your body parallel to the floor?
>> If you have any other challenges during this pose besides the sore hip, then let me know.
>> Where are you looking?
>> Could you stand there in the pose for ages? Do you feel strong and centred or is it a struggle to stay up for the duration? If you struggle, what is happening?

That’s a good start.

Namaste
