This pose, in particular, increases flexibility immensely, while also decreasing the severity of headaches, migraines, and fatigue. Overall, it is a great energizing pose which requires stamina to hold for extended periods.
Instructions:
1. From the top of your mat, turn to face the right side and step the right leg as wide as you comfortably can.
2. Turn both feet slightly inwards and avoid locking out the legs.
3. Take the hands to hips, tucking belly in and tailbone down, and take one deep breath in to lengthen the spine.
4. On an exhale, hinge at the hips and come through flat-back until the palms reach the floor.
5. Either keep the hands flat on the floor, bend the elbows, grab hold of big toes, or else take hold of either shin with the hands.
6. If your hands do not reach the floor comfortably then blocks can be placed beneath them to assist until hamstrings have been lengthened enough.
Make sure both hips are squared and equal towards the floor (ie., that one hip isn’t lifted slightly higher than the other, and that the outer edges of both feet are firmly pressed to the ground.
