Finding ease again

Right now, the priority is to find out what is possible with these limitations and the pain in my left groin. The next step is to work patiently on regaining mobility and, with the help of familiar techniques (breathing, relaxation, muscle engagement), to experience the postures as pleasant again.
I notice small improvements. They help me believe that this injury will eventually pass.

The focus is on forward bends.
There are also very simple forward bends. When standing is the basic position, then sitting is already a mild forward bend, since the thighs are closer to the torso than when standing.
Child’s Pose is a forward bend. Not everyone can perform this seemingly simple posture.
Lying on the back and bringing the thighs toward the torso puts less pressure on the body. It also allows the legs to be drawn up one at a time.
Effort and release are the two poles one moves back and forth between.

Today again I took pictures of my practice. As always, they were edited in #Adobe. Adobe Lightroom has become so much better with AI. The power socket on the wall can now be removed with just one click. That makes taking pictures easier, since it’s no longer necessary to hang up a white sheet. I’m truly impressed.

Tomorrow it continues. The path is set: from simple asanas to more complex ones.
