Deepen your backbends - Day 5 (quad openers)
Today we’re focusing on more front body opening. Virasana—and supta virasana in particular—is really good for lengthening the tissue at both ends of the quads (knee joint and hip joint).
But it’s not an easy pose to do, especially because of the pressure it can place on your knees.
Don’t force this one. Use blocks. Move gradually.
And remember that there are always alternatives. You always have the option of stretching your quads in something like a “King Arthur” pose or ardha bhekasana.
Have you experienced pressure in your knees in this pose? How did you deal with it?
