How to do Fixed Firm Pose.

[@jo479davis]

I LOVE THIS POSE! I think I’ve lost count of how many times it has healed a knee injury from running and trail running! Such great reminders for all of us to find the starting point of the pose. …I’ve shared 3 or 4 times already - with many more shares to come! ❤️😂❤️ Jo

Thanks so much Jo this is a great example of how modifications work!!! 🙏🙏🙏❤️🙏🙏🙏

[@jo479davis]

YES Sir - they do indeed work! …so grateful for your knowledge of modification and amplification. YOU teach it and teach YOUR teachers to teach it. I really don’t see it anywhere else in the Hot Yoga world.

@@jo479davis I’m sure they do !! 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️

[@jo479davis]

…hummmm. Maybe - however, I have taken Hot Yoga classes over the last 10 years in Oregon, Idaho, Arizona, Illinois, and in Texas and the only time I have ever seen modification is Barkan Method of Hot Yoga. Which to me is very sad because it’s needed. The benefits of the posture are needed. ❤️ Jo

Once you are in full position, all the way down, are we trying to keep the back flat, or keep natural arch in the back?

[@TheBarkanMethodofHotYoga]

Good question......The lower back will have a natural arch..Do not try and bring the lower back to the floor...just relax into the Pose as much as possible!! 🙏❤🙏

[@janicejacobs3101]

@@TheBarkanMethodofHotYoga thanks! Been meaning to ask that….

[@hotyogaoxenford5259]

Thanks Jimmy - great video!! Love this pose, but totally appreciate it's not everyone's favorite. haha.

[@TheBarkanMethodofHotYoga]

Haha… that’s for sure…. Maybe give hope for those who struggle with it!! 🙏🙏🙏

[@vinasaycocie8999]

I like effortlessness! so just hang out ? Is there any benefit of engaging the upper body more by pulling your elbows, pressing them down to lift into higher bridge between middle back and floor? And also tucking the chin in more to get that bandha? Or is it theh focus the front quads and knees stretching?

[@rosiecampbell3574]

Hi this pose hurts my ankles? Any tips? 😊

[@TheBarkanMethodofHotYoga]

Yes … either sit on a block and don’t go back …. Or use the modification don’t go back to far….with your hands to the side to take the pressure off 🙏🙏

[@TheBarkanMethodofHotYoga]

Yes…. We need to address those less fortunate that are not able to practice the full expression.
