Yoga Goddess Pose

Video Transcript

"Goddess Pose is a great hip opener and adductor release. We're going to come down, and as part as your cool down you?re going to bring your feet together. First find your active turn out and then the active brynju motion by just letting your knees fall, letting your back melt into the mat. Navel to spine, elongating through the top of your head. There are different hand positions you can use with this. You can either have it on your center of energy here and your center of gravity of your core. With each breath you want to think of just letting those knees melt out towards the floor. If you get to a point where you feel your back off, arch of the mat, then you've taken your knees too far cause you want the stretch to be initiated right through the hip flex towards an inside thighs. And if you're feeling like kinky, keep your back, plant it into the floor, the mat, extend your arms into Shudra Mudra, keep breathing inhale and exhale, head in line with the spine, and again with each breath press your back into the mat, extend through the index finger and release your knees in towards the floor. And when you're ready to come out, pull your hands in and bring your knees and back in line with your hips. And you'll be ready for a Bridge Position."
