I love this class! Perfect for getting some movement into my aggravatingly tight hips!
My hips are so closed that I can't get my shin anywhere near the chair in the final pose. Can you suggest any modifications to the Pigeon pose so that I can start getting the benefits of the stretch?
Thanks!
Last year I was recouperating from a fracture in my Femoral neck really close to my hips. I did not know I had a fracture when I injured myself at the motorcycle course that I was taking. I had fallen three times with a motorcycle I fell on my left side and I suffered what I thought was a sprained big toe, sprained ankle, and a bruised hip. I could not have everything checked out because I did not have insurance yet. This happened in June of 2012. I found out I had a fracture on January 06, 2013. All through the summer I was in a whole lot of pain. I still had to climb up steps everyday, I still was dancing at Jazz Fests, and other events, and also going to school. I still did this with a lot of pain. It hurt so bad that at times I could barely walk, but I did that also and did not quit. When it healed, I began to try to strengthen the inner and outer thighs, ride my brand new bike because the mountain bike was to heavy for me. I started looking for free yoga classes and I found your site. I found exactly what I needed to gently get my upper thigh and hip joints more flexible and eventually I can stop having to take Aleeve everyday. Maybe I will be able to stop taking pain relievers permenetely.
The Yoga Therapy for the Hips definitely worked on the areas that needed to be worked on. My leg is getting better.
I have used up the maximum internet speed for the month and they slowed down the internet speed. What would help me to be able to watch the videos? I am not using HD right now I have it where I could maybe watch the video. What can I do to solve this problem?
