[@pathiknirayoga]

[@slmm2jowens]

It worked for me! Thanks. I understand the pose so much better. Keep going please. :)

[@Yogazoneonline]

Very informative and helpful. Thank you so much for explaining anatomy in navasana so clearly. Namaste

[@SaraPaigeYoga]

Thanks Joe! This reminds me of a time when I was taking a yoga sculpt class and the instructor was adamant that we "turn off" our hip flexors in navasana, and use our core instead. I was so puzzled haha! Love your channel 🙂

[@priyanjalidas9378]

Absolutely love the way you explained this! So glad I came across your channel! Please keep making these informative videos!

[@JoeMiller108]

Thank you! I"m glad it was helpful for you

[@udwellnesswithalexis2217]

Great explanation! I really appreciate the way you use the band to mimic the muscles being used. I have seen so many diagrams but they are static and it's hard to envision what they are doing. I also appreciate the "flexibility" offered to practitioners to make the pose work for each body. Some people are so strict about perfection that it takes the joy right out of movement. There is always room for improvement--that's why we practice!

[@JoeMiller108]

Thanks! I'm glad it helped to clarify things. And definitely, agreed about having flexibility to adapt movement to the individual

[@halfghost_halfcowboy]

Wow! This was incredibly well-explained and so helpful! Thank you for clarifying what has long been a mystery to me!

[@renatatorres7961]

Love your videos.Please can you explain about Sarvangasana pose ?Thank you

[@JoeMiller108]

Thanks! That's a good suggestion

[@arundhatimalviya3533]

So one need nor keep the back absolutely straight but just comfortably straight. But why does this pose cause a mild strain in lower back? Am I doing something wrong

[@jamit05]

Joe, could you pls show what muscles in the hip get involved in Virbhadrasana-2 Pls make the video just like this one, with the blue band and all. Thanks in advance.

[@JoeMiller108]

Thanks! I like that suggestion. I'll try to do one on virabhadrasana 2

[@pal999]

Will the lumbar flexion add unnecessary load if one had disc bulging in the past?

[@JoeMiller108]

Good question. I'm not a doctor, so I can't answer that for any specific person. But spinal flexion can put more load on bulging discs. Core strengthening exercises where the spine is neutral, such as planks, may be better than exercises like navasana.

[@naveenlife7721]

Are we lying on sit bone or Tel bone

[@JoeMiller108]

I think generally somewhere between them works well for most people, but find what works for you

[@cinmac3]

Telbone ,is that tail bone.? That's very difficult for me, Joe, I struggle on what works for me, when I do movements and I am on my back my coccyc bones gets sore and I don't know what I wrong when that happens.

[@edwinasarah8200]

Do you eat?

[@JoeMiller108]

Of course!
