Spending a little bit of time observing the body pays dividends.
\nWhen the knees are tight, often they need a little more time to allow the tissues to release. Practice and repetition also helps.
\nImagine you are giving your knees a treat, listen to them carefully, explore gentle movement, find out what works for each knee individually. Who knows you might even find that the hamstrings will release a little too \ud83d\ude42
\nI have been practicing this sequence for a little while now and I find it super relaxing.
\nStay with soft attentive movement, if something does not feel quite right just accept it, release and maybe try again.
\nI usually find that if I gently try a second time, movement comes a little easier.
\nListen to your and body practice with care.<\/p>\n
Love and light,
