FAQs
Is it safe to stretch my legs wider if I have knee issues?
If you have past knee injuries or sensitive joints, Modify poses by taking a narrower stance, bending knees as needed, and avoiding any sharp pains. Build strength slowly before widening stance, and stop immediately if swelling or pains arise. Prioritize joint health.
Why do some poses cause groin discomfort when spreading legs?
Poses that stretch inner thighs can irritate the groin and hip adductors if flexibility is limited or posture misaligned. Use props to support thighs, engage core and don't force depth. Allow these muscle groups to gradually relax over time through gentle regular practice.
How often should I practice hip opening yoga sequences?
2-3 times per week, practice a full leg and hip focused sequence for 20 minutes. This frequent practice gives enough repetition to create change while preventing overstretching between sessions. Ensure you counterpose after each sequence as well.
What are signs I should modify poses to narrow my stance?
Discomfort signals when to back off intensity. Notice pain in knees, groin strain, numb feet or imbalance. If standing poses make hips, low back or thighs ache, listen by widening base of support. Never grip thighs or force turnout. Check alignment and adjust width until comfortable.
