30 DYC Day 23 Self Massage yoga
Hurdler Pose plus Full fist or Chop massage
I really enjoyed the self massage yoga, and I personally think it should be added at the beginning of the challenge, in the middle and at the end!! I am doing it at least twice a week, as my muscles are incredibly tight. Even a 20 minute session leaves me feeling tight and sore. Of course with massage being my profession for the last 24 years I enjoyed making it all about me 😉😉 I made this session double the length and added massage into my glutes, hamstrings, quads, calves and arms. The difference in my body afterwards is amazing and the following yoga session is easier and more enjoyable, followed by a hot bath, I am like a new woman!The benefits of the Hurdler Stretch include getting a deep stretch in not just the Hamstrings, but your hips, inner thighs and lower back as well!- Have a seat on the floor with one leg extended straight out in front of the body. With the remaining leg, bend at the knee so your foot is behind the body and your thigh is pointed out to the side. Your body will resemble a Hurdler jumping over a hurdle.
- Hold this position and using your fist hit the top of the I.T band or you can use the edge of your hand and chop into it,(I worked all down the quads as well) repeat the Hurdler Stretch on the other leg.
