#Repost @modoyoga with @get_repost #PostureTipTuesday Threading the Needle Raise your hand if you have found yourself sitting more in the new normal of ‘work-from-home’? Did you know that spending too much time sitting can cause your hip flexors to shorten, often resulting in lower back pain? The world we live in is conducive to sitting whether in our car, at our desk or on the couch...it tends to be a place where we naturally spend most of our time. ... Threading the Needle is a gentle stretch that helps open the hips. It also helps to release tension found in tight muscles of the lower back. Here’s how to set up the Posture - Lying comfortably on your back, bend your knees and place the soles of your feet flat on the ground or mat - Cross your right ankle on the left thigh, just below your bent knee. Keep your right foot flexed and active so that your toes are pointing back towards your right knee (this keeps your knee joint protected) - Lengthen your tailbone down towards the ground to maintain the natural curve of the low back, encourage your right knee away from your body - Option to thread your right arm through the space you’ve created between the leg, and interlace your fingers around your shin or thigh. - Spend anywhere from 5 to 25 breaths in this posture - Once you’re ready, switch up sides to even it out
