Om Yoga Show Manchester 2015 | Release Your Feet & Lower Back


Release Your Feet & Free Your Lower Back with Claire Murphy

Props used in the open session @ Om Yoga Show Manchester 2015

 

In this workshop Claire Murphy of Santosha Studio talks participants through a range of movements working with a small spiky inflatable ball which is a specific prop that really does get into awkward areas encouraging your body to let go of tensions that have built up within it.

This session was spent working with the feet moving on to the gluteal muscles with focus on releasing the tensions upwards along the hamstrings and into the lower back. Alternating working with the ball and moving in and out of poses such as forward bends (Uttanasana) invited self-discovery, assessment and re-assessment of how the range of movement changes.
