Pose Set-Up:
Come to your hands and knees on your yoga mat or comfortable floor of choice. Widen your knees about shoulder-width distance apart and send your hips toward your heels. Stretch your arms forward to the top of your mat
How To Flow:
Hold for four slow breaths. Then, stretch your arms over to the right leg. Once you’ve found a deep side stretch, hold for four breaths. Repeat on the left side and once more at the center.
Make It Your Own:
If you find that your knees aren’t comfortable in this position, place a pillow behind them. This will allow some space between your hips and heels so you don’t over-stretch the knees.
Pose Set-Up:
From Child’s Pose, lift your hips off of your heels and align your shoulders over your wrists. Remove any props you might have grabbed.
How To Flow:
As you breathe in, lift your heart and tailbone to the ceiling, letting your belly fall toward the floor. As you breathe out, arch your back while pulling your belly button to your spine, tucking the tailbone, and pressing your chin to your chest. Hold the rounded back position and circle your hips from the right to the left. Repeat, flowing through the left side, then back to the right, and so on.
Make It Your Own:
Your circles can be as big or as small as you’d like. Whether you graze your heels or keep your hips over the knees, move freely.
