The Wall Ball Walk

If you’re anything like the athletes at my box, after hitting a tough wall ball workout, CrossFit Cowboy Swagger going on. Give these Yin Poses a go to stretch out those tight quads, hip flexors and glutes.

1. Swan (Hold Time: 3-5mins)

a) Start in Downward Facing Dog. Raise your right leg into the air and then lunge it toward your hands, resting your right knee on the ground behind your right wrist. Your right foot may sit anywhere between your left wrist and your groin.

b) Rest your left leg on the ground ensuring your left hip, knee and ankle are in one straight line.

c) Ensure your weight is not unevenly distributed or dropping off to the right or left side.

d) You can either rest on the palms of your hands, drop down to your elbows or rest your forehead on the ground and arms outstretched in front of you. (Sit in a variation that your body allows. You will find as the minutes pass by you will move deeper into the pose, but allow this to happen naturally without force).

2. Dragon (Hold Time: 3-5mins)

a) Begin in Downward Facing Dog. Raise your right leg into the air then lunge it forward so your right foot is near your right hand. Ensure your right knee is at a 90 degree angle (or more).

b) Rest your left leg on the ground ensuring your left hip, knee and ankle are in one straight line. (If you have tender knees roll a towel up and place under your knee cap)

c) Place both hands on the inside of your right leg. Or if you’re able, rest your forearms on the ground.

d) Surrender to gravity and allow the weight of your torso to fall toward the ground as the minutes pass by. Ensure that you’re not rolling off to the left or the right side as you deepen into the pose.

Shoulder Suppleness Post 15.2

If 15.2 is done and dusted along with your shoulders, then try these two Yin Yoga Poses. They will assist with minimizing tightness and maintaining shoulder mobility.

1. Reverse Iron Cross Pose

a) Lie flat on your stomach with both arms perpendicular from the torso at shoulder height or slightly higher.

b) Cross your right arm under your chest (maintaining shoulder height) with palm facing up.

c) Roll onto your right deltoid and move your elbow out from underneath you if it becomes stuck.

d) Re-centre your body/chest over your right bicep and cross your left arm over the top of your right, with your palm facing up, to create a cross with your arms.

e) Tuck your toes into the ground and push your body forward until your head is able to fall over the cross of your arms. Relax into the pose for 3-5mins.

2. One Arm Swastikasana Pose (Eka Bhuja Swastikasana I)

a) Lie flat on your stomach with your right arm perpendicular from the torso at shoulder height or slightly higher. Place your left hand under your left shoulder or near the chest.

b) Press into the palm of your left hand and roll your body weight onto your right bicep.

c) Bend your left leg and place the sole of your left foot behind your right knee. Relax into the pose for 3-5mins.

2a. Extended Variation One Arm Swastikasana Pose (Eka Bhuja Swastikasana I)

a) Prepare for this extended variation using the above instructions.

b) Rotate your right arm over your body and gently interlace the left and right hands.

c) Bend your right knee to create an A frame with your legs, keeping your knees together and soles of your feet planted on the ground.
