I am learning to be ok with only doing what my body allows. Since practicing daily I'm much more flexible. Hips are especially my weakness. This was very intense and satisfying at the same time. Thanks for your gentle yet challenging practices! Nameste.
+Michelle Ungano You are so welcome, Michelle! Keep me posted on your challenge journey
Tough one. Paired it with day 6 & the 10 minute abs. Thanks, Brett!
+Jennifer Lueck-Wheeler ooo, nice!! good combo idea :) Keep me posted on our challenge journey!
I learn so much from you, Brett Larkin. Thank you for your gift of free yoga.
It is an honor to practice with you, thank you for being here! 💖💖💖
Wow are my hips feeling this practice. I find it bittersweet that we're half way through. a part of me enjoys not having to think of which class do I pick tonight. Anyway, great practice, nameste 🙏
+Barry Gleissner I want to do more series like this around themes....so let me know if you have ideas!!!!!
This was the most challenging for me so much so I gave up and moved to 10. I do not know why the double pigeon is so much harder than regular pigeon. I loved the hip emergency video. I will keep that in my frequent practice. Thank you
Double pigeon is a crazy deep stretch and really triggering (for me too). Just keep opening your hips in other videos and come back to it later. I have a lazy stretches video coming out soon with another hip variation (less intense than double pigeon) that I think you'll like. mwah!
Brett, I just wanted to tell you that all your videos are fantastic!! I love your style; tips, reminders and focus on breath, including level 1, 2, 3 options. I really enjoy the few moments of meditation you incorporate into your videos. You are also very calming and engaging. I am enjoying all your videos and wanted you to know. THANK YOU!
Thank you so much for this lovely comment! It is an honor practicing with you!
I do my yoga first thing after I get up. One thing I appreciate about Brett's classes is the warm up at the beginning. I am in no way warm enough to go right into double pigeon with no warm up, like this class has. I am on my 5th time through this 18 day challenge and am going to skip this one and try to fit it in after another session, so I can start warm.
I was able to progressively stretch deeper into these poses. I am new at this and I really notice a difference in my body. I almost forgot to comment today. Namaste!
woooow i never did any double pigeon before, and it is amazing. i think i'll do it every day, i feel great. thank you brett, once again can't get enough of it. you have these twists to every pose i never did before in any class.
+danielle saleh hehe awesome!!!! SO glad you're enjoying and thanks so much for the comment. Practice with you again soon I hope :)
I really love your style of teaching yoga, including beginners and more advanced. Maybe you could do a series for lower back pain or weight loss.. Or how to get into the split. (I sometimes feel quite weird trying to do the standing split with my leg hovering somewhere near to the ground :D)
+Cookie & Fee aaw, thank you! I have some great classes for low back pain in this playlist ua-cam.com/play/PLPJTnhnYa-pMtBbmvqZls4JC-8TNksHl1.html I have a journey into splits coming out soon...day 4 in the challenge (I think) does some splits stuff too. I should do something on standing split tho...it's a tricky one :) xoxo
wow this one really brings up some deep emotions! I think I must be holding on to a lot of fear in my hips. Each time I sit with this pose some tears well up to be released. Hope one day it will all be gone and I have wide open and flexible hips!
Thank you for practicing with me!!
I did a morning stretch routine before doing this hip opening class. Thank you so much for motivating me to make yoga a daily practice.
+D Mintho woohooo -- it's an honor! keep it up!! xoxo
Felt myself so much after this. So many feelings inside me... This was a very challenging pose for me.
I feel so much relief in my hips right now :-) but I feel a little pain in my knees as well. Just started doing yoga 10 days ago. Love your yoga :-)
Missed a couple of days due to a pretty bad cold. But some bone broth helped me recover quickly. Have been really appreciating the hip focus throughout. Cheers and thanks to you and Yoga Outlet as always.
You are so so welcome Michael :)
You're the best out here. I appreciate your work SO much, Brett. TY as always!
Susan Ridenour aaaw thank you so much Susan ❤️❤️❤️
Great addition to day 8's practice. Love it!
040321 Skipped over this one last week. Knees weren’t feelin it. I paired this class today with day 17. Even though my hips are soooo tight, I hope some day to be able to do double pigeon. As it stands at the moment, not only are my knees very far away from my ankles, but the leg that is supposed to be flat on the ground, isn’t. So, a long journey ahead. Thank you. Namaste.
This one definitely needed a warm up for me, or done right after #8. Still loved it once I was in it for a while 😊
Thank you Brett!!
Hooray! Thanks for the comment and see you on the mat again soon I hope :) xoxo
Your approach is so skilful and lovely as always. It was surprising for me to transition from the more holistic sequences to a one-posture class. I like to get lots of moves and sweat, otherwise I feel like I'm not getting my share of yoga... But perhaps this was the point? :)
That is the point indeed! We need to let our bodies rest sometimes too, it is so important!!
Halfway there! Woohoo!
+GeriMaria212 yaaaaaah girl!!
Very nice for me with intermittent hip/sciatica pinching! Question - at the first turn to the knee, did you mean turn to the left? That was confusing because I think you said walk over to the right - I wasn't watching, just listening to cues.
Ouch!! That hurt! Also, I wish I would have been a little more warmed up before getting into these challenging poses. Really got to jog my patience this morning, using my breath to hang in there. But I feel good now! I wonder if this is enough to pass for a work out, though? The time I spend on these classes is pretty much the time I have available to work out. Thank you for all these great practices!
Please back off if a pose hurts, I don't want you in any pain! You can always do a few sun salutes before any class to warm up a bit first. Hope you are feeling ok 💖
BrettLarkinYoga No worries, I never push myself beyond what my body allows me to. But sometimes these stretches can be challenging, and to be efficient, they can’t always be just comfortable. So far, so good!😊🙏🏼
even though my knees and feet were pretty far apart\ i really appreciate this stretch and your gentle encouraging instructions throughout it.
+Nancy Lowe
Tried a 2nd time - already a noticeable difference. Just have to keep trying!
JUst what I needed!
Yay!!
Really struggled with this. "a bit of a gap between the legs" in my case was about a foot! I will persevere just to try and get shins parallel with ankle over knee and try and narrow that gap. Then, I'll try the upper body moves. Meanwhile, any suggestions on how to release the stiffness in the knees and hips would be welcome. This looks so interesting and challenging - very motivating.
short,efficient,beneficial : merciiiii
That was very very hard for me ... long way to go so I need to patiently work on it :) For me it's very uncomfortable and I can't even imagine starting to bend forward when i feel so much tension in my hips...Namaste Brett for all your kind words and encouragement :)
Wow! That was a toughy for someone's whose hips aren't even ajar, but thanks for the options. Next time it will be easier. Hugs from London x
+Baubo Blue double pigeon is crazy hard!!! modify as needed! this one might be easier is some ways ua-cam.com/video/XJ_MEiilC_4/v-deo.html xxxx
I really like your joga classes, Brett. Thank you for the motivation :). I just felt more the upper leg during this lesson.. Maybe it is becose I´m not enough flexible yet? Thank you! Jana
Thank you for practicing with me!!
Love this so much, Brett. Namaste :)
My hips thank you. 🙏
So glad you enjoyed it!
Felt SOOO good!! xox
Hi Brett! I am a new yogi, but I am able to do the level three, is it OK or am rushing things! Thank you so much! Namaste x
Do what feels right for your body, as long as it feels safe and nothing is causing pain/harm.
Always amazing wish you'd do some crouching video :)
Hi Brett, I did the 21 day challenge and now doing this one, I have double jointed knees and can barely cross my legs, (my legs bend the other way easily), I am 39, but it is not age as even at primary school I was forced to cross my legs and sit on the floor which was painful the whole time the pain is in my knee when i sit so the pigeon pose is impossible. I was interested in taking my yoga further and feel like I can't if I cannot possibly achieve this pose, do you recommend anything? Thank you, I really enjoy your classes!
The pose is never the goal in yoga. That being said, I know that we all have poses we want to achieve! Take your body's limits into account, and never practice a pose that causes you pain. Maybe Baddha Konasana (butterfly pose) is a better alternative than double pigeon for you? You can choose to do which ever pose you please in place of poses that aren't safe for you. That is an advanced practice, honoring your body. Thank you so much for practicing with me!!
P.S. Uplifted is a great place to get personalized feedback on your practice! We have mini assessments you can do to get tips on alignment and modifications.There is a free trial period if you want to check it out: www.brettlarkin.com/uplifted/
Thank you! I will look into Uplifted, I will practice another month and sign up if that is ok? Sarah :)
Yay, you can join at any time!! Can't wait to see you there!!
thank You Brett for this sequence. as you said patience while doing the pose. is it normal to feel like a burning sensation in the hip thigh area? is it ok to go on with the pose as is? thank you!
As long as you do not feel sharp shooting pain, and you are comfortable with the sensation you can stay in the pose. Thank you for practicing with me!!
@@BrettLarkinYoga thankyouuu!
You are very welcome!!
How important is it that the shins are parallel to the mat? I find that as soon as I put one ankle over the opposite knee, the lower shin angles and points my lower foot towards my hip. Is it safe to do this pose with the shin at an angle of 45 degrees to the thigh rather than 90 degrees? Or am I just taking "parallel" too literally?
Parallel is very hard for most people, you can even just sit cross legged if that works better for your body!
One question, the pigeon pose it's difficult for me, there's a really big space in between my knee and ankle, and doing the cross leg position is just to easy and I didn't really feel a stretch. What can I do? Thanks.
You can place a prop between the ankle and knee! Anything to fill the gap will work, block, pillow, blanket, stuffed toy, anything.
did this bed warmers then getting out felt being gentle wasn't expecting to feel as still though I'm flexible still this double pose a challenge
Should this position cause mild pain on the outer shin of the top leg?
It was a little intense to get into right off the bat; in retrospect I should have warmed up before getting into it!
+fa1rytales Day 8 is the perfect class to warm up for this one...if you wanna do them back to back in the future that was my intent in the design xxx
U said to turn to the right in both sides 😃 first turn i should’ve turned left but u said right side and i turned as u said.. so i did the poses wrong ?
Sorry, I say the wrong side sometimes :(
Hip opening really hurts my knees, is that bad?
I have the same problem, the lower knee in of the pose gets really sore
This really seemed to be hurting my knees- I am a runner so likely have extra tight hips and hamstrings?
Never do anything that hurts your knees. Use modifications to find a version of the pose that feels good for you. Every body is different, and not everybody will be able to do every pose. Sometimes it is the way our bones fit together that prevent us from attaining certain poses (something we go over in my Teacher Training). Hope this helps, and thank you for practicing with me!!
Wow. Unexpected and Wow! I loved it, I used a block to support my head and followed this practice up with a wide legged forward bend and I feel like Gumby...yummy!
+Malinda Kopec yay gumby!!!!! xoxo
u mix up left/right a lot :(
