Yoga King Dancer Pose for New Moms

Video Transcript

"This is another balancing pose called Natarajasana which means "king dancer pose." You are going to just start with standing in Tadasana. If you need a wall for support, go ahead and use that. Grab one leg, one ankle. If you can't grab that, use a cloth and drape it around your foot and grab the cloth. Otherwise, just grab your ankle, let your quads stretch. Keep your hips square. Arm comes up to the sky. When you feel balance and stable, looking at a point that's not moving, go ahead and start leaning forward as you bring your leg up. Keep that arch in your back, reaching that up. Take three deep breaths here. And exhale. Drop it down and switch legs. Inhale, get your balance. Another inhale. Reach your arm up. Exhale and start moving forward bringing that leg up as far as you can in and out of your nose, breathing. And exhale. Lower your leg and your arm. Inhale and exhale."
