I used the cushion technique for my lower back, and I can feel a small improvement! My legs and lower back still hurt, but it's not excruciating anymore. I've never been able to sit cross legged, and it's always been hard to go from sitting to standing 😂

@colinsoder 3 месяца назад

Great video. Really helpful. Got right to the key points and illustrated well. I've always wanted you to be able to sit cross-legged. Maybe I'll be able to if I keep up regular practice with these exercises and stretches

@Kyrillzak Год назад

Thank you! I used to check my phone sitting on the floor, just to change my body position, but my back would feel tense and it wasn't very comfortable. I will try these exercises and I am sure it will help. Also each time when I sit on the floor/carpet, my cat comes and sits next to me, which is nice.

@YogawithJoelle Год назад

It'll definitely help! And how nice you get the added bonus of cat time 😉😻

hello. very useful, i can sit cross legged on the floor or indian style . but i have issues with easily getting up from the floor when sitting indian style or cross legged. i can uncross my legs but other than that, I struggle to get back up from the floor. this is due to having major surgeries brain and leg throughout my life. please put up a youtube video on getup from the floor in crossed legged or indian style . it’s very much appreciated

Been sitting like this for as long as I can remember, until very recently I started having ankle pain if I sit in this position for a while. Maybe it's time to change my sitting habits.

@YogawithJoelle Месяц назад

Ankles are a tricky joint indeed! The practice linked at the end of this video (this one: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-kBppUQIGMw0.html ) gets into that as well.

So, the two main muscle areas responsible for being able to sit cross-legged are the pelvic and hip muscles. I can't activate either of them. My hips have zero lateral and sagittal mobility, and my pelvis is so sore that the mere activation is horribly painful. How can I even sit in the starter position if those muscles can't even get into the first step?

@YogawithJoelle 7 месяцев назад

Hi there, the first step isn't about activating any muscles, it's about beginning to approximate the cross-legged position in a way that works for your body. Using props is the way to go! So you can add as many books/cushions/whatever you've got to help that start to happen. If you feel like you just can't get high enough to do so with that kind of prop, start in a chair or a stool with your feet crossed at the ankles and the outsides of the feet on the floor, as if you were in a really high cross-legged seat. Then as the video says, over time you can work to lower yourself down. I'd also recommend incorporating regular hip and lower back movements to start to get your body used to movement towards those general directions, even if it looks and feels quite different at first. Here's a 10-minute practice for pelvic pain you can try to see which stretches and movements might feel best to you in your body: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-l5_IkPiYA-w.html Hope that helps!

Hi Joelle, thank you so much for all your sharing and I love your yoga lessons. Do you have tips on sitting/meditating in lotus pose? ❤🥰

@YogawithJoelle Год назад

I'm so glad you enjoy them, thank you for practicing with me ! The stretches in this video would be helpful for lotus too, which is basically a more extreme version of sitting cross legged. Or look up my pigeon flow practice, which is all about external rotation of the hip 😉

@yee8919 Год назад

Thank you so much for your reply. You are always so kind and loving. ❤❤❤

@jackblu475 10 месяцев назад

My problem is I sit in my chair cross-legged for hours every day and now my knees feel like they are instantly going to tear apart when I get into the cross-legged position now. You can definitely over-do this and cause problems...

@YogawithJoelle 10 месяцев назад

It's true that spending too long in any position generally isn't ideal, but this should be quite a safe position for most people's knees as there isn't much rotation happening. So definitely not a bad idea to mix up your positions since it sounds like you already have this one down!

@austindoyle1982 4 месяца назад

Same looking on internet because when I sit in my computer chair it’s a bad habit it’s only comfortable if I sit cross legged and now my knees are hurting so bad when I stand up feels like there going to break

@marynarkw Месяц назад

I sat cross legged during meditation for a year and now feel my knee.

@suebob16 10 месяцев назад

Can I change a kneeling position (for digestion purposes) to a cross leg position and stll achieve the benefits? My core seems stronger with the cross leg.

@YogawithJoelle 10 месяцев назад

Hi Sue, I'm sorry but I don't quite understand what you mean? Both kneeling and cross legs can be beneficial and have different advantages, so it's certainly possible one will be more comfortable than another for many people

@kellypantaleoni5166 Год назад

My issue is my legs go to sleep over time, but otherwise I don’t feel pain 👍

@YogawithJoelle Год назад

That's not uncommon! Sometimes it means we're sitting slightly "wrong" for our body and a nerve is being compressed after sitting for a while. Adding a little height under your seat or just moving around more frequently can help, but it's also a good indication that these exercises would probably be helpful in the long run 😉

I’m 22 and I more often than not sit on the ground cross legged, but if I’m sitting live this for too long, maybe 40 min to an hour my knees start to hurt and I have to sit differently, am I leading my body to bad knees in older age? Or is this normal and I just have to change positions when it gets painful

@YogawithJoelle 6 месяцев назад

I'd say 40 minutes is quite a long time to stay in any position, so switching it up or taking a little break is always a nice idea :-)
