Short Class 77: Hip Abduction (Butterfly Base)
KINSTRETCH With Beard
•
22m
This class will be for Hip Abduction utilizing the Butterfly base
Equipment Needed: Yoga blocks
The butterfly base is a common stretch, but we’ll turn a common stretch into a powerful mobility exercise through PAILs/RAILs and lift offs. Abduction is one of my favorite bases to PAILs/RAILs because your hips feel so open and free afterwards.
We will work 3 rounds of PAILs/RAILs in our butterfly base, but always listen to your body and go at your own pace. If 3 rounds feels like too much, stick to just 2 rounds and slowly build up - or do the 3rd round at much lower intensities.
If you ever want to progressively overload the butterfly stretch (once you’ve developed the capacity to do so) - you can add weights on top of your legs during the passive stretch portion, then once you’re ready for PAILs/RAILs you can take the weights off. You can build up to leaving the weights on for PAILs/RAILs, but it’s always smart to slowly build up through each phase. First unweighted, then weighted during the passive stretch, then weighted all the way through. This progression is something that develops over a long period of time though, so make sure to slowly build up if that’s a goal of yours.
Hope you enjoy!
