Hows your flexibility going these days? Can you reach your feet? What about your feet reaching your armpit? - i know!
This is "Yoga dandasana Buddhasana/Yoga Staff Pose" or a baby version of it, since I'm still struggling getting comfortable in this pose.
It requires a lot of stretch on the hips and groin, usually 40mins of a nice hatha yoga flow will do the trick! This pose is one of my most desired poses ever, flexibility doesnt come easy to me since I have short muscles on my calves, which makes every stretch painful unless I practice daily.
There are tons of benefits that this pose can provide, but the main one is the hip stretch, specially when we work in a sitting position all day, the blood flow on our legs can be compromised, causing swelling and muscle pain. By stretching and opening the hip joints you reactivate the normal flow and the sensation is just amazing, as if your legs were 10kg lighter :)
And this is the flying version of it, my favorite, of course... If you read my last post [HERE] (https://steemit.com/life/@bezdesignsl/come-see-some-pics-i-m-a-yogi) flying is my thing :)
So, are you feeling like stretching already?
Hugs,
Bea!
