If sitting cross-legged in yoga feels uncomfortable, try this! 🧘♀️
If your yoga teacher has ever asked you to sit on a block and you find yourself wobbling, struggling to balance, or feeling hunched over during Easy Pose (Sukhasana), try adding a SECOND block next to the 1st.
Here’s why sitting on a block helps 👇
When your hips and legs are tight, sitting cross-legged can make it difficult to tilt your pelvis comfortably. You may compensate by rounding your spine, which can make it harder to take a comfortable, full breath.
Adding a block (or two) can:
✨ Elevate your hips and give your knees more room to relax.
✨ Help you find a more comfortable, upright spine.
✨ Reduce the effort it takes to sit comfortably.
✨ Make it easier to focus on your breath instead of constantly adjusting your position.
And remember: Easy Pose isn’t always easy! It’s also known as Sukhasana (or, as I like to call it, crisscross applesauce 😂).
Props are tools that help you make the practice work for YOUR body.
Save this for your next yoga class, and share it with a friend who could use a little extra support!
