Opening the hips can improve our range of motion ,our circulation,decrease back pain and most importantly create an energetic release.
Yogic tradition holds the hips as a storage ground for negative emotions.
As the hips start to open there is greater freedom in the body and in our expressions creatively,physically,sexually and spiritually.
Stand at the top of your mat in mountain pose Tadasana with the inner edges of your feet touching.
Bring your arms parallel to the floor to help with balance.
With your feet close together ,heels lifted or flat ..exhale and squat down keeping your hips off the floor.
Widen your knees apart and lean forward between them .
Bringing hands into prayer. Stay there for a few breaths then release.
This pose is also helps relieve stress,mild depression and anxiety.
It is contraindicated for those with ankle and knee injury and those with high blood pressure.
