------------------------------------------------------
This class will focus on standing forward bends to help keep you safe, while understanding the actions necessary.
Standing forward bends are a bit more accessible than seated and supine, as the legs are not fixed so the body will make adjustments by compensating in an incorrect direction, usually the path of least resistance which will create lasting imbalances. I. e. (bending the knees or rounding the back)
Forward bending requires surrendering by letting go of what is most comfortable and leaning into the more challenging and uncomfortable sensations.
They are the perfect opportunity to observe your mind and your conversation with yourself. Become aware of your thoughts, habits, and tendencies. Once identified, you can address your inner dialog and make changes to go beyond where you usually stop.
Forward bending requires you to just be there, and slow down. Little by little your body and mind will transform if you maintain a regular practice. There is no quick and easy shortcut to forward bending, just keep showing up and celebrate the small consistent wins. They will all add up in the end and you will find comfort where there was once discomfort.

I was struggling with Seated forward bend Paschimottanasana, hopefully following you,I will be able to do Paschimottanasana. Thanks

[@DesaYogiIyengarYoga]

Dear Shoaib, seated forward bends were my most challenging postures when I began over 30 years ago. My back was not strong which made even sitting in dandasana difficult. Over time and consistent practice, I was able to soften my back and address my weaknesses. Hang in there, one practice at a time, this will make the difference. Namaste

Thank you Kathy for putting video on legs. I have weak legs and don’t feel any muscle strength in back of legs and around my ankle and heels. It’s exhausting to do legwork any tips you can share?

[@DesaYogiIyengarYoga]

Hi Nitika, Honestly standing postures done consistently over time will bring you strength and staminea. Use the wall for balancing postures to hold longer which should also help. Look at the classes I have done for ankles and feet. This is where you must focus, from the ground up. Let me know how it goes and if that helps you.

[@nitikasharma2454]

@@DesaYogiIyengarYogaThank you Kathy for your feedback 🙏🙏yes i have recently started doing daily. Only challenge is i am not able to balance my weight on whole foot. Seems like only big toe and inner foot is takimg weight. Outer, midfoot and heel not activating. Just curious if you offer in person classes?
