<p>❤️❤️ Video description: We start in mountain pose with hands on hips. We do a nice slow dive into forward fold with hands still on hips. Then we spend a few minutes just breathing and exploring the forward fold while Adriene talks to us, before doing a slow roll back up to standing. ❤️ Also, just a random side note—I find it interesting going back to watch the old YWA videos, to hear that she queues “tuck your pelvis.” From what I know, this common queue in yoga is based on male physiology and is not actually correct for female bodied folks. I’ve been told to disregard it when a teacher gives this queue, and I always think, “Adriene never queues that 😇” so it’s just funny to hear her do it in the old videos. </p>

What’s the difference between forward fold and bow?

Thank you for verbalizing sensations, for instance tingling in the legs as you rise and come to a full standing position. It lets me know that is a normal sensation!.
