HW: Inner Thighs
Goddess Pose;
Begin by standing, with the hips wider than hip distance apart. The feet are angled out slightly, keeping the knees in line with the ankles and toes. Bend the knee and sink the hips, working toward a 90 degree angle. Be sure not to extend the knee beyond the ankle. The knee stays stacked on top of the ankle. This will help to prevent any knee injury or discomfort, while encouraging alingnment in your body. You can have your hands in Jnana Mudra, (as pictured), hands to prayer at the heart center, or overhead. Try to hold this pose for 1 minute, while making small pulses up and down, feeling the stretch and strengthening in the inner thigh. Keep spreading through the knees, sinking the hips down. Breathing through the pose and any discomfort. This will build strength as well as stretch, resulting in increased flexibility and longer, leaner muscles. If you feel comfortable and want to take it a step further, you can lift your heels, coming up onto the balls of the feet, (as pictured). 💫
