Description Of Activity
Starting Position: Sit on your mat with your legs extended straight out in front of you. You may want to sit on a folded blanket or cushion to tilt your pelvis forward.
Bend Knees: Bend your knees and bring the soles of your feet together.
Heel Placement: Draw your heels in towards your pelvis as close as is comfortable.
Hold Feet: Clasp your hands around your feet, holding onto your toes or the outer edges of your feet.
Spinal Alignment: Lengthen your spine, lifting through the crown of your head. Keep your back straight, avoiding rounding.
Knee Movement: Gently allow your knees to drop open towards the floor. You can gently press your elbows into your inner thighs or knees to encourage further opening, but do not force it. If your knees are high, place blocks or cushions under them for support.
Shoulders and Chest: Relax your shoulders. Keep your chest open and broad.
Gaze and Breath: Soften your gaze or close your eyes. Breathe deeply, focusing on releasing tension in your hips and inner thighs with each exhale.
Hold: Hold the pose for 1-5 minutes, allowing gravity to gently deepen the stretch.
Release: Gently release your feet, bring your knees together, and extend your legs forward. Shake them out.
