Balancing our efforts in ‘stepping forward’ and ‘staying back’
Do you talk more than you listen? OR Listen more than you speak?
Can you pause before you react or do you react before you think?
Can you see these metaphors in the lunge pose? I sure do!
How is your lunge pose? How are your hips??
The Lunge is a foundational and functional posture that will keep your hips mobile and functioning as you age.
Did you know that practicing the lunge pose can help you build strength and encourage more space in your lower body including your hips/pelvic floor/low power house muscles?
When practicing this posture it is good to pay attention and notice if you are able to…
1 – distribute weight evenly between your front and back foot?
2 – feel supported and grounded. Is your base of support wide enough?
3 – integrate your feet to feed your thighs into your hips?
4 – square your hips and hug your midline?
5 – lift and lengthen your spine out of your hips/pelvis?
As you practice your lunges – Do you tend to step forward or step back and why?
