The simplest way to strengthen in a safe range of motion is to practice your āsana at 70% (or less!) of your current range. For example, don't let your hips fall all the way down in anjayenasana (low lunge). Instead, keep your hips up a few inches above your regular spot, and you will have to use your muscles to keep yourself there. It may feel strange and difficult, and that's OK 👍 Practice, practice, practice

Najprostszym sposobem na wzmocnienie w bezpiecznym zakresie ruchu jest ćwiczenie āsana na 70% (lub mniej!) obecnego zakresu. Na przykład, nie pozwól aby biodra opadły całkowicie w dół w anjayenasana (niski wypad). W zamian, utrzymuj biodra w górze kilka centymetrów nad swoim zwykłym miejscem i będziesz musiała użyć mięśni, aby się tam utrzymać. Może się to wydawać dziwne i trudne, ale nie szkodzi 😌 Ćwicz, ćwicz, ćwicz
