Want to learn how to apply your inversion free yoga skills to your everyday life?
Because you want to improve your overall well-being both on and off your yoga mat?
If you’re practicing yoga without going upside down, that probably means that you’re avoiding going upside down in your everyday life too.
You’re most likely not bending over to pick things up off the ground, or bending over to tie your shoe or to pet your pets.
You have to make an adjustment of some kind in order to do these everyday movements without allowing your head to go below your heart.
Strengthening the lower body is super important for your ability to get down to the floor without bending over. So is working on your mobility of your joints including your hips, knees, ankles, and feet.
👉 If it’s challenging to lift your thigh up higher than to take a step, then it might be that you need to strengthen your hip flexors.
👉 If you have tight hips, this means the sides, fronts or backs of the hips, it could be restrictive mobility, lack of flexibility or a combination, both of which can be worked on.
👉 If your leg shakes a bit when you bend deeper than you’re used to, it’s conceivable that your core and stabilizer muscles throughout your torso and lower body might need strengthening.
This guide is here for you to work toward strengthening and mobilizing your lower body to be able to improve your movement on and off the mat.
Utilize the 3 Essential Elements; 1. Working on Balance Poses, 2. Core Work, & 3. Mindful Movement, to unlock your No Inversion Lifestyle
Get ready to take on the world with a new level of strength and confidence!
2. Stay Grounded (all movements originate in a seated position)
Each section has 2-3 levels of intensity
Start at Level 1 Repeat this daily until it’s easier.
Then go to Level 2 Do Level 1 & 2 daily until it’s easier.
Then go to Level 3 Do all 3 Levels daily to build strength & mobility.
Tips & Suggestions: Focus on Quality over Quantity to practice Mindful Movement. Control your movement and coordinate them with your breath. Use a chair, blocks, or wall for support if needed. Work toward not using support at all.
