An intense hip opener that targets the deep gluteal muscles and improves hip mobility. It is a powerful pose for releasing tension and calming the mind.
Sit with one shin stacked directly on top of the other, like fire logs.
Ensure your ankles and knees are aligned.
Keep your feet flexed and sit with a long, upright spine.
Ground down through both sit-bones evenly.
Keep your feet active by pulling your toes back toward your shins.
Stack your shins parallel to the front of the mat.
Keep your chest lifted and your shoulders relaxed.
Fold forward slowly from your hips if you want a deeper stretch.
