Brea! Thanks so much for this. I try to explain this to my students all the time so I got some great additional tips here. May I forward this video to them? One more question, I recently took a Yin workshop and there was a lot of "hanging on the ligaments for somewhere between 3 and 8 minutes which is contrary to the stability that we teach in Stott Pilates and Nutritious Movement. Do you feel there is benefit of doing a yin pose that might drop you into these areas under the guise of getting into bones, ligaments and fascia? I have felt very good after doing many of the yin poses but it surprised me how sort of opposite it was. I mean any movement is good, right and if it doesn't hurt, then it is opening the areas. Another distinction is that the yin poses are well supported else where so it's not like we are trying to hold plank and drooping everything - it may be in seal and the props enable you to support elsewhere. Sorry for such a long comment. Nice to read your beautiful email this morning!
very helpful. how long do we stay in this pose? can you also do a video on the proper/safe way to do chaturanga dandasana (since you are already in plank)? or is there a modified safer pose? thanks!
You can stay as long as it feels comfortable and you can keep that sense of strength and engagement around your shoulder joints. Here is a tutorial about chaturanga for you: ua-cam.com/video/uRJ3VT9oXOU/v-deo.html
Thanks, I'm glad you love the videos! Part of the length of these videos is so that they are like a mini practice, not just a tip or tutorial so that people can get more out of it. Short and sweet is also good too :)
Could this be the reason why my wrists always feel uncomfortable, too? Like I'm dumping too much weight on them by not engaging the right muscles in the shoulders 🤔 Thank you very much for this video 🌹
It's pretty common to feel pain in the wrists in yoga for many reasons. A big one is that we bear a lot of weight on the wrists without properly warming them up. And not engaging the shoulders is a big contributor as well. I've got a few wrist and hand strength and stretch videos that might help: ua-cam.com/video/7I2gV6jaoUk/v-deo.html and ua-cam.com/video/yqr7SqusI6Q/v-deo.html and ua-cam.com/video/VmMu980XqxQ/v-deo.html and
Your channel is gold in so many ways.

Love your weekly videos. Very helpful. Suggest cutting the length by 50 per cent.Like most people I have short attention span.
