Do you have an over-pronounced anterior pelvic tilt, sometimes also called “sway back” or lordosis? This is something I’ve had my entire life and while I will most likely always have this type of posture as my anatomical default, there are ways to improve it. It’s very normal and healthy to have a curve in your lower back but if it is too pronounced it can lead to pain and issues.
In this 30 minute all levels yoga class we will be focusing on 4 things:
– strengthening our abdominals
– strengthening our glutes
– stretching our hip flexors
– stretching our lower back
The key to improving your anterior pelvic tilt with yoga is AWARENESS. Every time you are on your mat, you need to check in with your low back posture in every single posture. This also applies to your day to day life when you are standing and walking. Pull your lower abdominals in and lengthen your tailbone down to bring your pelvis back into neutral alignment.
Hope this helps!
