Yoga: Fire Log Pose

Video Transcript

"So this next one we're going to do two variations. For my friends who have tighter hips and you'll know very quickly, we're going to offer an alternate pose, it'll be better. So first we start with Fire Log Pose. The front shin, you want it to be parallel with the front edge of your mat. Then you take your other shin and stack it directly on top, so that top leg the ankle is right on top of the knee. Then you'll notice that the legs are like a little bit lifted up cause I'm actively pushing through the inner edge of my feet. You'll also notice that both sides of the ankle are even with each other. You want to keep that fingertips to the earth and lengthen your spine. Now this can be a super big stretch for the outer hip muscles, so it it's too intense or you find that your knee is like way up here, there's no way to get in to it, then I want you to cross more of the center of your calf muscles, so the feet are in line with the knees. And just work there again, pushing evenly through the inner edge of the feet, keeping both sides of the ankles even, steady commitment in the legs and then big opening in the hips. And release."
