I think I need three blocks :/ This seems like a pretty advanced pose.
Really, really like this. and how it releases hammies and the problematic IT band. I have to share that if you cannot do this first standing on a typical yoga block, start off with a book. I am an intermediate student with hip issues and I am beginning with a soft cover 530 page book as I wasn’t getting anything out of it with the block since my body just refused to twist and I work with what I have first, I don’t force movement. Thanks!
ouch
Thank you for the block tip. I really enjoyed your video.
thanks to that video I can do this stretch without block

@trumpetflowerII nice comment but would have been nice to send it privately. Your criticism is constructive but I don’t think I needed to read about it.
ben fatto
Isn’t this called Lizard pose? Some yogis call it sleeping lizard if you go all the way down resting your chest on the ground on a bolster/blanket. I used to find it nearly impossible first to get into it, but with practice now I can easily do this and my hips and spine love me for it.
This pose, for me anyway, really exhibits the differences in mobility of the psoas and piriformis on each side. I like getting into double pigeon afterwards.
For what it’s worth a voice over would be better as there should be no echo. Moreover, when you are pointing to something that your audience cannot clearly see, and you believe it’s important, change the camera position as we would benefit. Thanks
to create a fulcrum around which the head of the femur can move posteriorly in the acetabulum so the muscles can release…she says it in the video.
I see , but whats the point of having the block in the place where actually you trying to extend not to constrict, as it happens here ?!
Hi Catherine! How’s Seattle? I graduated from the U Dub;) Definitely this strength is great for you, but the best one of all time is the Pigeon Pose, so make sure to do that one 2 mins each side per day. I think I posted it under the Magic Pose!!! Bye Bye tight psoas!

I’m having back issues from very tight psoas muscle. Would you suggest this stretch? Are there others of yours that would be better?
Many thanks,
