Over half term, why not practice this hip – opening posture?

 

Take 5 breaths – elongating the spine on the inhale and then relaxing the thigh muscles and abdomen on the exhale.

 

Variations on a Theme…

 Place the hands behind you and lift up the heart space for 5 breaths

Come to centre on an inhale

Exhale and hinge forward from the hips keeping the spine long

5 breaths + come up on an inhale

Breath in and raise right arm exhale and bend to the left supporting yourself with the left hand on the floor – 5 breaths

Repeat with the left arm

Finally – finish with the original practice – try drawing up in the centre of the pelvic floor as you inhale.

Take Vajrasana as a counterpose.

 

For more postures have a look around the website – always practice safely!
