namaste friends I am ritesh and today our focus especially for runners and cyclists a great posture for athletes a
variation for warrior one and comes regularly in Sun Salutation friends I am
talking about low lunge also known as Anjaneyasana or Crescent
pose a little bit of variation in the asanas changes the whole name concept
often this friends it's a beginner level standing balancing
pose so before we get into this practice it's very important to know that people
with chronic injury to the legs or hip should avoid the pose hard any conditions
completely avoided and if you have a high blood pressure please don't do this
pose or do it under a medical supervision friends before we get into
Anjaneyasana it's very important to start with some preparations of
downward-facing dog a chair poles a wide leg forward bend or something where the
hand the big toe posture is there some of these preparations are very good
before you get into the practice friends now let's get into the practice so
before we do a runner's lunge or Anjaneyasana any asana that you start
starts with a cards so I told myself lift the shoulder up and back and
down my chin is parallel my face must have several eyes and I don't forget to
smile don't have to be very serious when you do the poses from here I keep my
right leg take a step forward now it depends on person to person some
people will take a step here someone it depends upon your comfort-ability but
don't take it too wide right you can't balance it now if somebody's having a new shoe shorten the distance else you can take it out straight keep the back heel up now what I need my knee and ankle is in one line
my knee and second toe is in one line right now maintain this position but now
if I want to reduce the intensity I can keep the knees on the floor if you have
a new shoes please use a bolster or a block so tall yourself and just keep
moving forward so friends it's a deep stretch to your hip flexors keep moving
check the neck and shoulders relax all the variations are fine you can lift the
arms up give a backward extension it's a great chest opener right so breathing
gets much better in this position breathe breathe now that's a way where
you get into a little bit of biggener level now if you want to get it a little
bit more intense lift the knees up tall yourself keep your back leg active
maintain this position and not from here lift the arms up and breathe friends
engage your cores see that your pelvis is not going like this or this keep it
neutral okay tall yourself lengthen it and maintain
that position now in case holding it isometrically you need a little bit of
movement so add the dynamic movement just to change a little bit so once
again check the movement tall yourself lift up and just move one two
three hands on the hip I maintain that position friends just to change a
little bit of dynamic movement into your board asana it's great to have
variations in Anjaneyasana friends it's a great pose for balance memory and
concentration and people have benefited specially people with sciatica pain have
