thx, DG. I did review these and have used these strategies (per working with you in the past) and it felt good, and going all the way down on my own feels better now and stretches the ever tightening area (recommendation of the therapist). But coming up is the bear it hurts for a second and then I pass through it by splaying a bit. Maybe asking for help coming up would be key (?). Or just not, for now… I will use the block between the legs for sure, though.
Do you have any tips for when the knees are lifting off the floor? I’m currently not going all the way down with my head only as much as my knees aren’t lifting.
Wow!!!Good teaching am working since last one month I will try this one thanks
Hi David, this pose frightens me nowadays as I have a chronically swollen knee that is nonetheless getting better and more flexible (I’ve had a torn meniscus for over a year now). I’ve been advised by a therapist who got me walking again (couldn’t walk for months!) to stretch all of the muscles around that knee despite the intense sensation of “ooh, it’s going to snap.” He was, thankfully, correct. The more I sit in hero’s pose (and I can now lie back), the better it gets. But, as you mention in the video, coming up is a bear! Should I back off? or persevere since stretching and strengthening the area seem to go hand in hand. maria (in BCN)
Thank you so much David. In this pose I can’t go down with my head on the mat holding the ankles. I can’t mechanically, I dont understand why. To tuch down with my head I have to move my hands to the knees. If I try to force I feel a stop, a articolar stop. Can you figure out a tip to explain it? Is it my back?
