    in reply to: Rounded shoulders #7388

    I have another question too, sort of connected to the rounded shoulders. Coupled with my non gorgeous round shoulders, I seem to bend forward from about 5 inches above the coccyx. Consequently, I have difficulty in the hands to feet pose (where I can just about get my head down to my knees and no where near my calfs as suggested and I certainly cannot get my knees back), standing seperate leg stretching pose, as I seem to be unable to bend forward forward from the coccyx. In the sit up, I am completely unable to do the final part when you come forward from the hips and same with the final part of head to knee pose with stretching pose.They are all connected to the inability to bend forward from the coccyx I believe! Any suggestions as to how I might inprove these apart fro the regular bikram yoga sessions?

    Many many thanks.

    For me, it is not pain but a feeling of stiffness. After Yoga at the moment I am stiff around the hip area and so I feel stiff when for example I have been sitting awhile and then get up and start walking. But I am OK with that as I figure that I am just stretching new parts of my body as I get better alignment in the poses. My quqestion was a more general one – I had expected to feel overall more flexible and to be able to regain one’s childhood flexibility and for example be able to bend down and pick things up with ease and generally bounce around. Instead I just feel stiff all the time! Many thanks

    Thanks Gebrielle – great video – you were talking about me with the rounded shoulders :). As always the trick will be to consciously “put my elbows in my back paokets” as it definately feels very odd at the moment. But great thank you!

    Hi – yes I go 4 times a week and generally too tired to do other sports 🙂 so yoga pretty much it! Many thanks for your help.
