Episode 2: L-shape and more :-)
Posted: 14 Aug 2020, 15:40
Hi Nathalie,
I am doing episode 2 at the moment - with rest days since it is very warm in Denmark these days and my body also needs to recover between trainings. I feel stronger every time I do it, but I have experienced knee pain during this episode which is a bit confusing for me since I have never tried that before in any training (maybe I'm just all of a sudden getting old? ) and find it hard to see what the cause might be? I started feeling it in the sliding downward dog exercise and the rest of the exercises were affected by the knee pain after that. Do you have any idea why that might be? I didn't feel like I was using the knees in any bad or unusual way so it really puzzled me!
And now the L-shape: I can see that my butt is really sticking out in this exercise and my lower back is arching in a way that I don't think is the intention with this. I don't think your back and butt doesn't look like that in the video The problem is that I don't know how to correct it? I tried to tuck my butt but it seemed impossible in that position. I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong - am I maybe too close or too far from the wall, my legs too low or too high or what might be the reason - and the solution to this?
All the best, Ea
