Yoga Front Supported Bound Angle

Video Transcript

"Another great way to relieve the tension in your spine after a long day of work and to relieve the tension in your hips is through a Supported Bound Angular Banakanasan Pose. So I'm just going to ask Gina to come sideways and cross her feet together. Good. Pressing her knees to the opposite side of the room. Good. And opening up through her thighs. Now we just going to bring the bolster out in front, good, and she?s just going to relax down on that bolster, bringing it in to her belly. Now its possible if maybe you can come down this slow and it feels like there's more strain, then you just add another bolster because what we want this to do is relieve all the pressure in the spine. Good. That's lifting the abdominals off the spine, and allowing her to just totally relax, lengthen through the sacrum, good. Now for some people, it may not work to have your feet together and you could just put your feet on the outside of the bolster, that's also an option that you could use as well. She would just relax in this position for three to five minutes and then she would turn her head over to the opposite direction and relax again there."
