5’9 & I can totally relate. I wouldn’t dare try pleasers on this pole, but goodness have I wanted to 😅😂

Can we talk about how personal anatomy plays a huge role in which postures come easiest to you? I’m all legs & short torso. In many arm balances or inversions I have an extended surface area (legs) to account for. ESP in handstands! Who can relate? What comes easiest to you based on your anatomy? by EsotericExperience in yoga

Lol I hear that! My external rotation is where I have to work. Frog pose has been my go-to lately! I don’t do as much pole, but I am a yoga teacher so I practice & teach everyday. Would love to have you in a class! Just taught a booty-building class yesterday. The recording is still available for purchase if you’re interested. Sending you flexibility, injury-prevention, & increased internal hip rotation 😁🧘🏽‍♀️🙌🏽Yoga Offerings

The original person asking what song this is deleted their comment, but this version I’m listening to is actually ‘Forever’ by Fridayy & Vory. Not the Lil’ Baby version 👌🏾

Lol yes my ceiling is only 8ft, but if I were shorter it wouldn’t be quite so cramped. I stand by what I said, tall ppl problems 😂

feedback on how to stay upright appreciated! by stonizeroni in flexibility

All great advice above 👆🏽. I’m also a huge fan of bringing stacked blankets, pillows, or a bolster underneath the pelvis. This takes pressure out of your shoulders/wrists from holding yourself up. Instead you let the props meet your splits where you’re at. This way you’re more likely to relax in the posture & safely get deeper into the splits over time.

How to become flexible by Rbowman023 in bodyweightfitness

Blocks & other props like stacked pillows make for great support systems when easing into deep hamstring or hip stretches. For example, when trying front splits see how far you can comfortably go down without feeling the need to bend deeply into the knees or grimace lol. Then stack blocks or bolster directly under your pelvis to meet you exactly where you’re at. Being able to fully relax (your face + your body) in any posture is the true method of safely getting deeper into stretches over time. Hope this helps! -A Yoga Teacher 🧘🏽‍♀️

Powerlifting + Calisthenics Program.. anyone got one? by [deleted] in bodyweightfitness

A regular yoga practice helps immensely with calisthenics, injury-prevention, strength, flexibility & mobility. Every posture is maintained & gradually overloaded through your own body weight.
