Video Transcript

Another really fun partner pose is the Starfish pose. We're going to start back to back. Gina is going to lengthen her legs in front of her and then just take them out into a wide legged straddle. I'm also going to do the same. Now I'm going to inhale in and get a nice forward bend. Gina is going to open her heart and she is going to come down using my back to open her spine. She is going to try to reach for my toes, good. In fact just grab on to the shins or wherever you can reach and again the form is going to be that of a starfish. We should have five points Again I am getting a really good hip opener and Gina is opening up her heart and increasing her lung capacity, increasing both our flexibilities and then Gina is going to release from the toes and bring herself back up. She is going to take yourself back on to your shoulders and press yourself back up and we're back to where we started from.
