Poses in Today's Class:

Deep Squat Pose (Garland): Begin by standing with your feet hip-width apart, toes slightly turned outward. Sink into a deep squat, bending your knees and lowering your hips toward the earth. Bring your palms together at your heart center and use your elbows to gently press your knees apart, inviting a profound hip stretch. Hold for 3-5 breaths.

Lizard Pose: Transition into Lizard Pose, a pose that invites deeper hip exploration.

Pigeon Pose: From Downward-Facing Dog, draw your right knee forward, placing it behind your right wrist. Extend your left leg behind you and lower your hips toward the floor. You can remain upright or walk your hands forward for a more intense stretch. Hold for 3-5 breaths before gracefully transitioning to the other side.

Butterfly Pose: Embrace the gentle opening of your hips in the comforting embrace of Butterfly Pose.

Happy Baby: Transition to Happy Baby, lying on your back. Draw your knees toward your chest and grasp the outsides of your feet. Widen your knees wider than your torso and press your feet into your hands, gently pulling your hands downward to feel a rejuvenating stretch in your hips and lower back. Hold for 3-5 breaths.

Savasana: Conclude your practice in the ultimate pose of relaxation and restoration, Savasana.
