Inner Thigh Focused Flow
Yoga for Bladder Health
•
40m
Get ready to raise the heat with this practice! Not in a panting, sweaty mess kind of way. In the subtle, "am I supposed to have muscles there" kind of way! :) The inner thighs are intricately connected to the pelvic floor - often called the super highway to the pelvic floor. Studies show that even doing one set of muscle activation per muscle group each week can create strength in that area and prevent muscle loss. We did some inner thigh leg lowers in this sequence and we did not use weights but if you come back to this practice, you can always add an ankle weight to the leg you are lifting to increase the challenge. Like always - listen to your body. We also did a really fun pose at the end that your body will be fully juiced for!
You'll need: at least 1 block, a pilates ball and a strap.
