  Closed Allegra struggle

  Posted by Sonja Rouge on December 10, 2015 at 10:21 pm

  Does anyone else have a hard time with Allegra? I have been able to do it but it seems as if I can not get past the pain of Scorpio (I was taught as Gemini for inside leg hook) still. It helped to pull my top leg down towards myself so I had more space for my back to bend around the pole. Once I get my bottom arm around the pole to close the Allegra with by reaching for my foot, I usually start to collapse from the pose. Any advice on getting through the Scorpio pain as well as back flexibility for the Closed Allegra position?

  HI! Nice open hips are very helpful in making this pose comfortable. How much time have you spent working on the related lessons below the main player of the Allegra lesson? Also, I think an Allegra that is open is very pretty. https://www.studioveena.com/lessons/view/f7c4b070-b91e-11df-856f-001b214581be
