Routine 6 – Improves Hip and Shoulder Mobility

Filed under: Yoga Routine — andrew @ 6:07 am

Routine 6 improves hip and shoulder mobility and increases muscle tone in your thighs and upper arms. The poses convey several benefits:

  • Hip Rotation fully opens your hips so that you can move more easily in and out of yoga poses and can sit comfortably in Cross-Legged Position.
  • Full Boat activates your abdominal muscles deep in your groin and improves balance and concentration.
  • Supine Bandha alerts you to any sore spots in your abdomen, which may be signs of constipation.Routine 6 - Improves Hip and Shoulder Mobility
  • Vinyasa 6 is a strong and empowering sequence that works on every major joint in your body. It also builds balance, and the more you practice, the more confident you become in moving from one pose to the next. That feeling of physical balance carries over into feelings of mental and emotional balance to promote inner harmony and feeling good about yourself
  • Hissing Cobra helps to clear out stale, heavy air from deep within your lungs that may be making you feel tired or lethargic. It greatly enhances your immune system by flushing your thymus gland with fresh oxygenated blood when you release the pose.
  • A Lake is a visualization that provides you with a graphic image of how “heavy” negative thoughts can make you feel by linking negative thoughts with the image of heavy mud sinking to the bottom of a lake.
