Yoga Wall Lunge for Athletes

So this pose is another lunge position. It’s a deeper stretch for your psoas muscle. So you want to feel like you are allowing your weight to release a little bit forward. So the knee lifts back towards the wall. Make sure there's no pressure on the top of the joint or the kneecap. You want to release the weight forward enough to like you are stretching the psoas muscle, that deep hip flexor. If want a deeper, stronger stretch, you can extend the same arm up as the knee that's on the floor and work your fingertips back towards the wall. Shoulder blade down the back, neck stays nice and long. So feel your breath on this one. Try to release any tightness or tension. It comes all the way into the torso so try to breathe, open up with your breath and then exhale releasing your hands out. Draw yourself away from the wall to switch sides.
