Hey friends! Today, let’s chat about a fun yoga pose that can really stretch you out and bring some balance to your practice: the Extended Side Angle Variation. It’s a fantastic way to open up your hips, improve your flexibility, and even strengthen your legs. Plus, it’s a great excuse to take a moment for yourself amidst the chaos of daily life.
How to Get Started
To get started, stand tall in Mountain Pose, then step your feet wide apart. As you inhale, extend your arms out to the sides, reaching through your fingertips. Now, as you exhale, bend one knee and lower your torso towards that bent leg, resting your forearm on your thigh. The other arm can reach up and over your head, creating a lovely arch that opens your side body. Just remember to keep your core engaged and breathe deeply!
