The Top 5 Poses Lotus Pose Mobility - Learn to Sit in Padmasana Full Lotus | Yoga With Tim
Вставка
- Опубліковано 10 лип 2019
- Learn to open your hips safely (without damaging your knees) and effectively to progress to full lotus pose while creating mobility and flexibility for seated poses.
This is the most desirable pose for pranayama and meditation due to the downward pressure of the feet against the thigh helps to upright the sacrum/low back to better upright and nourish the spine. Energetically this action is stimulating for the root and pelvic chakras and can be argued to awaken energy through the sushumna nadi (central channel).
Due to the lift and energy through the spine, the lungs can expand fully with less strain and prana is fully expressed through the body.

I am a male at 74 who had a sedentary job and got lotus rather quickly 4 years ago even though balance poses and straight leg forward folds are still problematic. My "trick" was to find a cross-legged pose where both knees were beginning to touch the floor. I didn't realize that most people can't cross their legs at all with knees very very low.
My journey I had gone to an intro class, and the instructor was sitting in half lotus when I arrived, and I said to my self I can do this and 4 seconds later I did it. After this I went home and found a UA-cam instruction that I could follow and 3 weeks later I could do left leg then right leg, and 5 weeks more I could do right leg then left leg. After I started a regular practice 20 months ago, my instructor said I had flexible hips, but stiff legs. The reason is that I race walk (33 years), and we practiced rotating our hips to get a longer stride length, which is useful if you want to win races. I can also do pigeon forward folding all the way down pretty easy.
Since sun salutations are awkward for me, having some small competency keeps me going to yoga class. I always do a lotus pose at the end of class even if no one else does. I find once in lotus, I do not want to come out, and it is better to try to get the pose tight as after a minute or two it will feel better.
I'm 81 but I still want to arrive (gently of course) at a more flexible situation. My instructor here in Rome said that with a body "così duro", it would be difficult to reach this goal. You inspire me think not in terms of pull, haul and jerk but ease hips etc. into flexibility.
Io credo che bisogna pratica. La età non importa.
@@VasiaMple in generale sono d’accordo e credo di continuare di approfondire la pratica. Ci sono certe cose tuttavia: una volta, praticavo dhanura tranquillamente, ma ora, a 82 anni, non ce la faccio
@@philiprand3720 ascolta il tuo corpo senza sforzare . Quello sa come fare le cose senza fretta. Comunicazione con il corpo è il più importante. Penso non so hahha
Buona pratica
thats pretty cool! 🎉
@@philiprand3720 You able to do full lotus yet?
Did the 5 exercices after a 40 minute practice and got into lotus comfortably for the first time! Thank you Tim!
That’s awesome! Thanks for sharing
I was pleased that you addressed yourself to problems I had brought up. There is an irony in my situation, no fault of yours - I'm waiting now for a surgical operation to replace my left hip joint, unable at the moment even to pick something off the ground. The culprit, in my case, was not dealing with scogliosis, keeping weight on my left side, and wearing down the hip joint. Post operative prognosis, even for this 83-year-old, however, is very good and, in the years left, I'll patiently try to gain mobility, following your advice. My own prognosis is good, in fact, because I have pursued teaching such as yours, improving my overall condition.
Your persistence is admirable. Do what you are able. Stay with it. Wishing you the very best.
Watching and practicing yoga with your help from more than two years now.. @8:09 when you suddenly say Pune, India i was stunned because i am from Pune and never expected to hear any experience from Pune in your videos ever ... Thanks for your videos Tim !! Love them all :)
No way! Did you ever take classes at the Iyengar Yoga Institute?
Yoga With Tim Unfortunately i didnt because i loved your videos and never did any yoga except your channel :) Should i consider taking classes there to deepen my practise ??
I've been practicing yoga every day for a while now, and I just couldn't do the lotus pose! and just after doing this video I've made it!!! thanks so much Tim!!!
Congratulations 🎉
You still train yoga?
Exactly what I needed Master. Thank you , thank you, thank you.
I showed this to my husband because I think he would benefit from yoga and your style of instruction. Your emphasis about how to protect your joints and learning the poses over time got his interest. Thank you! You have a great teaching style.
That's great! thanks for sharing
Wow! With the stretches first, I was able to get into it both ways! But it’s not comfortable, so more prep is needed. Thanks!
Sir....this is the best explanation on how to accomplish the full lotus.I am 51 yrs and i have been trying since i was 16 yrs after i discovered it in a yoga book that i stole.As Natalie Zhil said..i too am getting a good vibe from your video and tbe way you instruct.You got my subscription and thumbs up
Thank you for the nice comments, Peter. Much appreciated! Namaste
Good vid.... I was struggling with my right leg getting over the top... this work is getting me much closer ... thanks... I’ll keep working ...
Tried the last trick, and boom it worked just like magic and it was not uncomfortable at all. I am glad that your teacher shared the story and trick with you.thank you
Thanks Honey.
good, new techniques 😊
Glad you liked
You make it look so easy! Helpful pointers- definitely can’t be done with cold muscles. I think it’s inversion of the ankle, sole goes in toward midline. 😉
I would definitely practice this after having done a full yoga practice
Not able to do any of these exercises but I Will practice. Thans you
You may find the Beginner videos easier. I have a number of ‘Yoga for Beginners’ videos you may like. Go to yogawithtim youtube Click PLAYLISTS. Click ‘Beginner Series’. There are seven beginner videos for you to check out. 😉
Fantastic video! Not too much talk, great presentation 👍
Glad you liked it! Thanks Anna
Wow. I been trying lotus for years but not concecutive. But this is the first time I got it for a few seconds , but I got it. Amen.
Congrats Clara!
Yet another awesome video. 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
THank you Mike
OMG You have such a good vibe! So relaxing and cute.. thank you!
Thank you Beáta 😉
Fantastic! I’ve been waiting for this since talking to you about Lotus in Auckland (I’ll be spending a lot of time in the penalty box (for now)) :)
Hey Juila! Good to hear from you. Haha perfect that's super important. How is everyone?
In answer to your kind question about me and lotus - not really, but the physiotherapy for my hip prothesis is having good results. I'm down from two crutches to one, and am starting to walk like a human being. A saluto al sole (sun salute) is still for the future. I may celebrate my 84th birthday in December, by performing a saluto al sole.
Unfortunately a prosthetic hip does not have the range of motion required for lotus. IT will be injurious to the knee/ ankle if you keep trying to force it
I did it perfectly 😄😄😄I had tried lots of trying to do lotus pose, but can't do it for more then 3 second & the lotus is always want to drop to the floor. with your instruction, I can do it more then 1 minute & no pain at all. Now, I'm trying to do on my left foot . thank you
So good to hear this. 😉 Thank you.
That last exercise you did was golden! Totally tricked my body into doing it without even realizing. Then I tried just normally and couldn't do it. But that trick really does work!!!
That's awesome, glad it worked : )
Thank You. Very helpful.
Glad you liked.
Thank you, Tim. I am getting a very good vibe from your video and the way you instruct. So chill, without any distraction (in my case). Will be looking more into your channel. Thank you.
Loved this! Would love to see more evening/bedtime classes ❤
Awesome. Thanks
There’s more bedtime videos on the channel. In the search bar on my site type in bedtime Then you’ll see all the bedtime videos 😉
Hi Tim. Your videos are always helpful. When I sit cross legged my knees are very high but I'm working on it. I add pigeon pose to what ever practice I do every day. Now I will add the poses you have demonstrated. Thank you for all the tips. At my advanced age I will be amazed if I get my knees parallel to the ground but it's fun trying. Namaste.
Thanks Angela, keep practicing that double pigeon, that's
key
Helpful, Thank you 🙏
Tim! enjoyed perfecting in these poses! The only thing I need to do is practice these poses!
The most difficult for meeeee but it's getting better trying today with your video i came closer to Lotus. I feel some pressure on my ankles
Awesome video to get into Lotus pose, I still working on but your last tip pose was excellent 👍🏻. Thank you for sharing . Namaste🙏🙏
Idk if it’s easier for kids but I have always been able to do it with no problem or practice
Sweet!
Thanks for the helpful video! Just curious how often you recommend practicing this sequence as a supplement to regular daily yoga practice ? Daily, every other day to allow recovery, etc? Thanks!
loved this video
So glad you loved it. Thanks!
I'm like you, I can get it on the left side, but my right knee has taken its knocks and doesn't allow me to go there right now. Thank you for this instruction, Tim - entertained by the $5000 bet story! Have a good one 🙂
Understood. Glad you liked it. Thanks Darlene. 😉
I did it!
Awesome! Congrats
Please show us... How to practice malasana with such tricks

Hey! Thanks for an awesome video. But I'm worried about knee damage. I'm on my way to sitting in half lotus with support, but how will I know if I'm torquing my knee in a dangerous way? Apparently there doesn't need to be pain involved?
It shouldn’t be feeling the sensation in your knee, that’s a sign you’re forcing and the hips aren’t ready yet. You’ll need to focus on your hip mobility more.
At the end of June, I will have the hip operation (near Florence!) then will return to Rome for a month of therapy, which I don't think will be equal to your practice.
Hahaha! Thanks Philip. Wishing you the best
This was my first video in my search on how to get into lotus. I stretch a lot before my Jiu-Jitsu instruction and I am trying to complete my splits and finally achieve Lotus. I am able to do all the stretches except this one. I am not in the belief that I will not be able to achieve this position but, do you think that there are people that are unable to get there?
I believe that with time and practice you can archive it. Especially if you are an active person who practices sports.
Very great video. But can u give me advise. Everytime I did it I feel pain in my foot at frond not the bootom I mean where my fingers are... what to do to not have this pain?🙏
Awesome
Thank you! Cheers!
Tim can you start out with two blocks ?
For what?
I appreciate the tips but can you do an entire follow along on lotus and/or firelog pose?
Yes i have one for members on the cmc: www.timsenesiyoga.com/consciousmovement
@@yogawithtim I'm interested STRICTLY in lotus and Firelog poses. IF I sign up, which videos will I have to watch. I'm very serious about this. Let me know PRONTO
Thanks Tim but my ankle closest to my body still hurts when doing full lotus position, after all these excercise. Can u recommend anything?
Try working on my CMC course to built the mobility www.timsenesiyoga.com/consciousmovement
Its inversion not eversion
Great video thank you 😊
Ok, thanks
My right legs can do it but my left not easy at all...what wrong ...? Im 41 and i stretched long years for split without acheiving yet ...is have to do with shape of my hips bones?
Could be, there are many factors. If you want to work together on it you can sign up for the CMC (Conscious Movement Community) and I can help coach you further. Just send me your message on the CMC chat feature.

I think I didn't quite understand some of these exercises. Because it felt like the only things stretching were my joints...
Especially with these: 6:55
What exactly is supposed to be stretched there?
That's a sign that you're going a little too deep into the pose too soon. It might take time and patience. Try backing off on the stretch and relaxing more instead of forcing it into the joint. For yoga stretches, you want to experience the sensation in the "belly" of the muscles instead of at its connection.
I’m a bit disappointed. I’ve been doing stretches for a couple years and I thought I’d gotten flexible as I can do front splits. I knew that hip flexibility was a weakness of mine but trying this video showed me that it was more of a weakness than I’d previously thought 😭 when I tried to get my shins stacked my knee was very high. I’m excited to start working on this though
Hey Noa. Identifying the issue is half the battle 😉
What’s the name of the asana/pose in your thumbnail??
Tolasana
is the first pose Virasana or Vajrasana ? I thought kneeling in general is bad for your knees...
Kneeling is an important function of the knee and should be practiced to your ability (modifies as needed) or else it will be lost.
Going forward, I’m happy to answer your personal coaching questions on the Conscious Movement Community (CMC) site. Just send me your message on the CMC chat feature.

Thanks for sharing :D
Just curious, I understand you did full lotus but how long you managed to sit in it? Some meditators need to sit for so many hours...
You're welcome! Glad you liked it. With practice you can learn to sit longer.
My one ligament a broke ,but i will try 1 yer..i think i will be done .
Please take it easy and don't aggravate the injury!
COMMENTS ARE GIVING ME HOPE :)
OMG UPTADE : I AM THE MOST INFLEXIBLE PERSON ON THIS PLANET BUT M WRITING THIS COMMENT AND I AM ON MY LOTUS POSE :D ;D THANKYOU
You are welcome and thank YOU!
Is it supposed to hurt the ankles? Or should I have prepared myself more before going into this position
If you don't have the required hip mobility the ankles will take too much torque.
@@yogawithtim Ohhh, okay thanks! I’ll work on that first then
I can do lotus with no pain in my hips or knees, but my ANKLE! Do I just need further ankle strength? Thanks for the great video
From what I understand, if your ankles are under lots of pressure, your hip may not be flexible enough to allow the external rotation required to turn the sole of your feet up and remove strain from your ankles. FYI I am not a yogi
I had ankle pains while doing the lotus pose. I realized that when your ankles are straight, they don't hurt i.e when you sit in the lotus pose your ankles should just rest on the thighs. They hurt when they are bent.
sitting in hero pose...the first pose helps tremendously
I used to to do lotus anytime anywhere but recently when I do, despite doing all the flow/warm up in my practice, I experience pain in my ankle from the outside (right side) … is there way to strengthen or loosen that area abut?
You might want to get assessed. Without knowing more about your situation, it's difficult to diagnose. If you'd like to schedule a private class hit me up on Instagram and I'd be happy to work with you on it.
I can do it with no effort, never done yoga, i think some people can do it easilly and become yoga teatchers...
Amazing! Yes!
You’re too cute 🥰 but seriously, great video thank you 🧘🏻
You're welcome Lisa. And thank you!
What are the sizes of those blocks
Just normal sized yoga blocks :)
Is Padmasan a high risk low reward thing?
Eh, it’s debatable. From a functional movement standpoint yes definitely high risk low reward. From an energetics standpoint, it’s supposed to be the kind asana for meditation according to the various yogic texts.
I got the lotus pose, yeah!
But, the lotus disassembles itself in less than a minute. Hehehe.
How can anyone stay in such position for long hours? That is something amazing.
Hahaha! Thanks Diego.
Holy crap!
Holy shit! Just did full lotus for the first time with this video lol
Excellent! Awesome, Michael!
I can do lotus pose without any practice, how could that be?
That's great! You may have a lot of ligament laxity.
Bro, that last trick from your yogi in San Francisco… Zero to lotus in 5 moves! 😂
Nice! Thanks Ken
i can do the splits easily so youd think i can do this but i cant
If you keep working it you should get there 😊

The excellent therapist (provided by the Region (=State)) will certainly not let me attempt things like lotus positions. Furthermore, a person in my situation has to wait at least 6 months to consolidate healing, and dislocations that result from violation of the prescriptions, lead to lots of trouble. Fortunately, the therapist has practiced yoga.
👍
I was today years old when I found out that normal people can't just sit like this.
Haha!
37th comment ; P
I Can't do it! I'll give you 1,000,000$ if you can make me do it!
haha, did you try the trick!?
@@yogawithtim I did... I've had knee issues for many years so I just can't get my legs in the right position without hurting my knees. I'll keep practicing, but I'm not very hopeful that I'll be able to do it. My offer still stands though 😄
First u do some simple flexible exercises,like pike and pancake.daybyday ur flexibility will increase. Then you can achieve this.surely.belive it
What im watching after having read too many chinese webnovels:
OK... Thanks!
where does a random person like me get a block?
Hello Dave. You can find yoga blocks at Amazon.com, Target, Walmart, Dick's Sporting Goods and even Kohl's. Just Google 'yoga block' and see what comes up near you. :)
?

Why is your sole of the feet like that
Why’s the sky blue
@@yogawithtim ok
Rubber guard
This is not yoga only time pass
