When holding poses for longer as we do in this class, it’s important to relax the body so the stretches are passive. Pushing the body too hard in a long, held stretch will result the in your muscles resisting the stretch in a effort to remain safe. When the muscles do this, you will no increase your flexibility and you may even injure yourself. Use as many props and you need and listen to your body. A great guide to know you are in a comfortable place for the body is being to breath deeply and relax. In these stretches you may well feel discomfort, however there is a difference between discomfort and pain. When you feel natural resistance from the body, in other words, that you are at your ‘edge’, be mindful of going further. Have a great class.
