stretches to increase your flexibility reduce discomfort and prevent injury try the series in the order listed here or pick your favorites to incorporate into your workout routine happy baby this calming hip opener also stretches your lower back begin lying flat on your back bend both knees and hold the outside edges of your flexed feet with your hands keep your arms on the outsides of your legs gently use your upper body strength to equally press both knees to the floor below your armpits try not to tense your shoulders or chest but keep everything relaxed stay here for five deep breaths extended wide squat this relaxing stretch targets both hips at once while opening up your lower back stand with your feet slightly wider than your hips bend your knees and lower your hips down toward the ground if your heels don t touch the ground roll up a towel or the back of your mat and place it under your heels for support bring your palms together at your heart center and firmly press your elbows against the inside of your knees this will help to open your hips even further after five breaths release the hands to the floor and walk them away from your feet to increase the stretch in the hips and lower back hold for another five breaths open lizard the hip flexors the muscles at the front of the hip can become extremely tight just from sitting this intense stretch targets that area as well as the outer hips come into a lunge position with your right knee forward lower your left knee to the floor and rest your hands on the ground under your shoulders slowly lower your right knee to the right so you re resting on the outside of your right flexed foot keep your arms straight pressing your chest forward to increase the stretch hold like this for five breaths and then repeat on the left side wide legged split to stretch your hips hamstrings and inner thighs do a wide legged split from wide squat place your hands on the floor in front of you and inch your feet apart making sure to keep your heels wider than your toes keep the soles of your feet flat on the ground at all times to protect your knees as your hips get lower you can prop yourself up with your forearms and then move down to your shoulders as shown if your shoulders are on the ground turn your head to the side and rest your cheek on the ground so you don t bruise your chin stay here for five deep breaths then walk your feet back together if this pose is a bit more stretch than you can muster try the seated straddle stretch butterfly stretch both hips at the same time with butterfly pose sit on the ground bend both knees and bring your feet together using your hands open your feet up like a book use your leg muscles to press your knees down toward the floor lengthen your spine drawing your belly button inward relax your shoulders and gaze either in front of you or toward your feet stay here for five breaths and then slowly fold forward drawing your torso toward your legs remember to try to keep your spine straight rest your hands on your feet pressing your knees down with your arms or if you want more of a stretch extend your arms out in front of you stay here for another five breaths head to knee a popular stretch for runners head to knee targets the hips and hamstrings while giving the back a nice stretch too sit on the ground with your legs out in front of you bend your right knee and pull the sole of your foot against your left inner thigh sitting with a tall spine reach both hands to your left foot and stack your torso on top of your left thigh if you can t reach your hands to your foot rest your hands on your shin or knee try not to round your back stay here for at least five breaths relaxing your shoulders away from your ears then do the other side pigeon a basic yoga pose pigeon is one of the most effective hip openers because you can focus on one hip at a time sit with your right knee bent and your left leg extended behind you pull the right heel in toward your left hip or if your hips are more open inch your right foot away from you make sure your left hip is always pointing down toward the mat if it begins to open up toward the ceiling draw your right foot back in toward your body stay here with your hands resting on your right thigh or your hips or walk your hands out in front of you allowing your torso to rest over your right knee hold here

on the floor with your legs straight out in front of you bend your left knee and place your knee shin and foot on the floor so they re parallel with your pelvis bend your right knee and place it on top so your knees shins and ankles are stacked you ll know you re doing it right when you gaze down and see that your legs make a little triangle you may find your top knee to be high up toward the ceiling it s ok it just means that your hips are tight so just stay where you are and breathe to make this pose more intense place your hands in front of your shins and walk them out as far as you can

from the ballet companion pirouette tips from gillian murphy don t move your front heel before you turn push off with both legs but keep your weight forward relevé strongly and quickly pull up from the back of the leg right under your buttocks to get on your supporting leg use your spot free the head and relax the upper body good turns come from your work throughout the barre and center especially from pliés relevés and petit allegro you know both a good and a bad turn immediately and in a bad turn you know to cut your losses a good turn feels easy don t sacrifice form there s no point to lots of turns without form in fact everyone just wants them to stop there s a smaller turning surface when turning on pointe but not much difference in placement you feel higher off the ground you gain mastery through repetition but not repetition of your mistakes make sure you practice correctly pirouette tips from ethan stiefel learn to turn first form is important but it comes later get the coordination of the spot first and then clean up your position there s a moment of stillness essential to the preparation of a turn for me it s at the outset in fifth position before the quick rond de jambe into fourth power and momentum in the pirouette actually originate in that moment relax and exhale so you can float through your turn get to retiré position quickly i prefer a high retiré above the knee but there isn t necessarily one perfect position success in a turn depends on a strong center strength and calmness come from your center when doing air turns it s your only friend there are turns there are pirouettes and then there are spins don t squeeze out an extra pirouette onstage don t throw in the ugly one the music decides when a turn is done and the turn decides for itself its momentum tells you to finish my favorite pirouettes are plain old pirouettes en dehors in retiré it s a perfect position there s a reason we turn in this position clean never goes out of style turns en dehors felt natural to me but en dedans did not what helped was a change in attitude don t think of turning as a numbers thing do the right thing to set yourself up and let it happen repetition is the key to improve your turns practice them over and over again www iwontdance com dancing dancer performer dance dancers read more november 21 2022 142 notes iwontdancenetwork dancers
