ReplyDelete1. sitting isolations feel different from standing isolations because it feels like it focuses more on your upper body and chest rather than a whole body relaxation or breathing sensation. While this was still relaxing I would prefer to do a full body standing isolation because it keeps me and the rest of my body more engaged.
2. Warming up is important before stretching because when you warm up your are loosening your muscles and warming them up in preparation of harder activities. This can increase performance of said activity while also preventing alternative injuries to muscles and joints.
3. The part of my body that worked hardest during sitting isolations was my chest and upper body.
4. There wasn't very much of a difficult part of the asana it was enjoyable to stretch out my body in this way fully. If I had to pick one however, the hardest one for me is when bringing my arm over to the other side while one foot is out and the other is tucked in. It is just a little harder to move my body in this way and get the full stretch.

ReplyDelete1. To put it shortly, sitting isolation feels "easier" for me because it does not involve as much balancing as is required in most standing isolation exercises. I also found sitting isolation more relaxing and easy to focus on because I'm not worried much about how I look and how I suck at balancing.
2. Warm up is a way of prepping the body for any exercise that follow after. By doing a warm up, we are able to increase blood flow in all part of the body, reducing the likelihood of injuries.
3. Sitting isolations involve mostly upper body(arm, shoulder, chest) as well as our core and thighs.
4. The asana I had the most difficulty doing is the seating straddle pose because I am not very flexible. I felt pain when I try to straighten my leg to get into the correct position. Otherwise, I found most of the other stretches easy and enjoyable to do.
