The Pyramid Pose in Power Yoga

Video Transcript

"Hello, my name is Scott Soller, yoga instructor. I'm here on behalf of Expert Village. Now the next movement is the Pyramid Pose. We interlace the fingers behind the seat, inhaling we float the chest, exhaling, bending the front knee, you may need to step the back leg forward a little bit. We forward fold, you can keep the front knee bent, squeeze the arms up, spine is going to be rounded here. So you go into the tension with your attention, squeeze your shoulders, and then we bring the palms down, exhale, turn the palms back, work the palms toward the ground, stretch the inner arms, and now broaden the shoulders as you open up your leg line. Now as you exhale, start to come up, for the other side. We'll inhale, hands to hips, exhale, step forward. Inhale here, exhale back. So the asymmetrical pyramid for this side, interlacing fingers, put the other pinkie on the outside, we float the chest, inhale, bend the front knee, hope if you need to, to exhale and pull. And then we exhale and release the hands, turning the fingers back, work the palms to the ground, broad shoulders, remember to exhale, roll the outer thigh in, keep bringing the left hip forward, if your knee is okay with this, inhale, roll the inner thigh out to bring the hip back, and then press the foot, exhale to come up."
