Hello. Hope your having a great day! Could you showcase a routine for pointe/arches? I really wanna Improve my feet pointe/arches. Have a great day, and a beautiful weekend!!🙏
Nice variation on lunge and really great for the hips - but what about the knee? In a regular lunge we try to keep our knee over our ankle to protect the knee, is that not important here?
I love this question, Rebecca, thanks for asking it :) It's perfectly fine to lunge over the knee, in fact when we do it correctly as we do in the video (rooting down through the foot to help keep stability in the ankle) it can be a great way to both strengthen and mobilize the ankles and build more strength and stability for the knee in wider ranges of motion. We typically teach knee over the ankle in yoga as a starting point because it's more stable that way and somewhere along the way the cue got stuck there and people believed it would be damaging for the knee. But in real life, we are often moving with the knee over the ankle, so it's realistic and important to train that movement like we do here. Hope that clears things up for you!
Thank you - enjoyed this twist on a lunge :) I was playing with the integration of the arm movement in a different way by bringing my arms back as I moved my hips back, and bringing my arms forward as I moved my hips forward - this helped reduce a hint of compression in my lower back ... what is your experience?
Love that you played around with the arms. And that's great you felt some decompression in your lower back! It could be that the arms helped you naturally lift out of the low back a bit. I always recommend playing around with these types of things and seeing what feels better for you as it's in the exploration and curiosity where new awareness shows up :)
Just discovered your channel - your energy and sharing are fantastic! New sub! Will you please share here on YT (for those of us not on social media) which brand of tops you wear alot? They look really comfortable and are very flattering.
@@joan.nao1246 Thank you! And for tops, I don't generally stick to one brand, or at least haven't found one brand that always has the right fitting tanks and tops! I look for ones that are a little longer and looser in the bottom. I tend to thrift store shop and randomly have good luck at Value Village of all places :)
When you say to slide the pelvis "forward", do you mean into the direction the front of the pelvis is facing? It looks like you're moving into the direction the front knee is pointing. Thanks for clarifying. :)
Good question! Yes, you slide the pelvis in the direction you are facing, you're not trying "square" the hips forward. The more the knee is out to the side, the more the pelvis will follow that direction.
Forget about physical yoga skill..,
What i really found a lady with golden heart.
This has released my hips. I've only been doing this 2 weeks its amazing. Thank you xx
That's so great to hear! Love that you've been doing this consistently. Such a good movement for all areas of the hips.
Thanks
Great video Brie. Feel better after lunges.
Thank you for thé Channel. I appreciate your clear & simple explanation. Big fan from Sinaï désert.🐪🐪
So glad you enjoy it!
It is amazing. I certainly needed that :)

Try out this asymmetrical lunge and share how it feels for you!
