⭐️ How to Flip Your Grip ⭐️
#omniyogagirltips
-
Start off in Pigeon Pose
-
Reach back towards the outstretched foot with the palm facing upwards
-
Keep the palm facing up towards the ceiling, & take hold of the outer edge of the back foot
-
Grip the toes or main body of the foot
-
Draw the back foot towards you as you rotate the shoulder & bring the elbow out to the side
-
Continue the rotation, & aim the elbow up towards the ceiling. Think about extending through the spine, lifting the chest & keeping the shoulder blades drawn down the back to create a nice, open bend.
*Bonus Assisted Version, below!
To work towards the full flipped grip, use a strap (as shown on slide 2), & gradually shorten the distance as you increase your flexibility & the rotation needed in the shoulder joint.
