Life will give you whatever experience is the most helpful for the evolution of your consciousness. ~Eckhart Tolle Day 58: Viparita Virabhadrasana (Reverse Warrior) This is one of my favorite psoas and QL stretches. Notice how the front knee drives the myofascia from just below hip forward. While the myofascial from the top of the hip is being moved up and away in the opposite direction through lateral spinal flexion as you reach your arm up and over your head. Viparita Virabhadrasana is an incredible stretch not just for the psoas and the QL but also for that entire lateral fascial line including the teres minor and major, the latissimus dorsi and the serratus anterior. Although you are moving your torso in this pose, the alignment and activity of the legs is the same as in Virabhadrasana II (see Day 57). Also, regardless of reaching your are up and over your head, the upper trap is still disengaged and the lower fibers of the trapezius are the one in control of the scapulae. #YogaAnatomy #YogaTeacherTraining Enjoy :-) To register for our Yoga Anatomy Teacher Training visit healsci Buy our holiday promo, one year of unlimited yoga for $480 at https://paypal/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_s-xclick&hosted_button_id=A2RQ9BFMWP562
