Course Overview

Description

This Advanced course offers a dedicated focus on the adductor muscles, a group of five key muscles located in the groin region. Restricted mobility in these muscles can lead to imbalances and poor alignment across a variety of asanas. This six-class series is designed to help you address stiffness in the adductor group, making it easier to access a broader range of poses in your practice. By improving adductor mobility, you’ll not only enhance your overall yoga practice but also unlock therapeutic benefits for your body. Tightness in the groin/adductor region can limit your ability to perform standing poses and forward bends effectively. This course features key adductor poses such as Trikonasana, Utthita Hasta Padangusthasana, Supta Padangusthasana, and Upavistha Konasana, providing you with the tools to increase flexibility and stability. Whether you’re seeking to refine your alignment, improve your home practice, or simply relieve tension in the groin, this course offers a comprehensive approach to nurturing this essential muscle group.

Who is this course for?

  • Yoga practitioners with tight or restricted adductor muscles seeking to enhance mobility and flexibility in the groin area.
  • Athletes and active individuals looking to prevent injury and improve performance through targeted muscle conditioning.
  • Students experiencing imbalances or alignment issues in standing poses and forward bends due to adductor tightness.
  • Anyone interested in deepening their yoga practice by focusing on often-overlooked muscles crucial for lower body stability and alignment.

How will this course help?

  • Increase flexibility in the adductor muscles, allowing for greater ease and comfort in a wider range of yoga poses.
  • Improve overall alignment in standing poses and forward bends by addressing tightness and imbalances in the groin area.
  • Enhance your yoga practice by isolating and strengthening the adductor muscles, leading to better posture and stability.
  • Relieve tension and discomfort in the groin region, promoting better mobility and reducing the risk of injury during physical activities.

What do I get from this course?

  • A six-class series specifically designed to target and improve the mobility and flexibility of the groin and adductor muscles.
  • Detailed instruction on key yoga poses, including Trikonasana, Utthita Hasta Padangusthasana, Supta Padangusthasana, and Upavista Konasana, to effectively work on the adductors.
