Thumbs up if you made it through all 8 minutes of this abs and core strength practice - and great job!! 💪🌟 Have you tried my Yoga for Psoas 10-minute routine yet? It pairs great with this one, and you can find it here: kzread.info/dash/bejne/ZaCY2LuleqeWdJs.html

I haven't, however I have done the other lower back pain one. Which I found lovely, this really is an amazing help and I feel so free once I've done them, I do two of your videos once a day and I find them so relaxing and allows me to have 20 minutes mindfulness. I lock myself in my calming bedroom and just breath through it all. Thank you so so much for this. X

Salut ma préféré yogi. Thank you very much for today session. Just a comment I usually try to do the most challenging pose to demand myself for more, not today because I haven’t been that fit lately. To the point, on the last pose I changed it, instead of stretching the abs just like you, I stretched my arms so the abs were more stretched? And my back hurt, my bad my fault. So mates: please stick to Joelle’s instructions if I may suggest. Not big deal I am well, just wanting to share. You are the expert. Merci beaucoup, thank you so much, namaste, muchas gracias!!!

I love this one! ❤ I've been doing it almost daily except during a fibro flare. I'm still having difficulty with the boat pose. My more than generous thighs feel too heavy to lift my feet off the ground. Any suggestions?

@YogawithJoelle

Жыл бұрын

Good question Moira! Boat pose is a tricky one for many of us, and it's usually due to confusion going on in the ab and hip flexor muscles who aren't quite sure what we're asking them to do! To start out, try lifting just the heels (keeping the toes or toe tips on the mat) rather than the entire foot. This helps to "train" the muscles as they start to get it! Once that's feeling a little more accessible you can start playing with lifting one foot at a time to progressively gain more control. Another tip you can try is to lean the upper body back just a liiiiittle bit more in order to better counter-balance the weight of the legs. I hope that helps!

Quite liked this. Only thing is I seem to have a problem keeping abs tight while breathing properly at the same time...don't know if that makes sense. Maybe I'll get it right with more practice.

It's quite normal for the body to be a bit confused in the beginning, it'll definitely get better with practice!

Thank you for making this video. Been doing it 4 times a week for 2 weeks now. My next goal is to do it for 2 more weeks. It would be great if you could make a part 2 o this video. I have very weak core and back pain. How can I make the it more difficult. A part 2 would be great. Thanks

Hi Joelle, Since I’m unable to get up off the floor easily, can I do this on my bed? What can I use instead of a block? I’m a senior with a weak core. Holding on when getting up from sitting position.

@YogawithJoelle

Жыл бұрын

Hi Elise, you could certainly try this on a bed or other surface the first few times, that'll allow your body and brain to get used to the movements and once you get more comfortable with that you can experiment on different surfaces. Do keep in mind that something like a bed will have its own challenges because it won't provide as much stability or resistance as something firm like a floor. I hope that helps!

Could you explain why every seated position with crossed legs causes me to almost topple over backward & I can only keep the position with great difficulty. My regular standing position is head & shoulders tilted forward & arched lower back.
