Forward Pivots
Channel: Kae Bender Yoga
Date: 02/05/2023

This session features practices that are most effectively done pivoting from the hip joint — the indentation where you can place your thumb at the top of your thigh. To be effective in the movement, you do NOT want to round your spine as you move from the hips. (The term "forward bend" is therefore NOT correct!) Rather, lead with your heart as you hinge forward, enabling your body to deepen the movement as you raise your "Sitting Bones" (the iliac tuberosity or lower rear points of the pelvis). Mastering this movement enables you to deepen many yoga poses.
