Could you talk about the 90/90 position? I feel like everytime I have the 90 degree angle in my knees and hips my pelvis is never "en face" but rather diagonal to the back knee. Does that make sense? What is important in this position? The front calve being parallel to the mat and the knee angle is not as important? Or something else?
It’s probably because you are lacking internal rotation in the back hip, and if that is the case, this is a great exercise for you. Try to keep your hips square to the front and both “sits bones” down to the floor. It’s ok if they don’t start there, that is just the goal! The back leg is almost more limited and feels more than the front leg. Hope that helps!
Great video! This is my new fav pre ballet hip warmup video. Neat ideas on the 90x90 to attitude and fire hydrant pulses.
So glad you like it!!
