The Garland
Note:
The garland pose helps stretch your groin, ankles and your back while toning your stomach. Beginners may find it helpful to sit on the edge of a chair instead of squatting. Your thighs and your upper body should create a 90-degree angle and the soles of your feet should be slightly forward of your knees.
Pose Instruction
- Begin by squatting with your feet together and your heels on the ground. Separate your thighs until they’re beyond the width of your shoulders.
- Breathe out, lean your torso forward until it is between your thighs.
- Push your elbows outward against the insides of your knees and bring your hands together in the salutation seal. Press your knees into your elbows to help elongate the front of your body. Press your inner thighs against your sides. Stretch your arms forward, move them to your sides and bend the fronts of your lower legs into your armpits. Push the tips of your fingers into the ground.
- Stay in this position for 30 to 60 seconds. Breathe in and release yourself by straightening your knees and standing into a standing forward bend pose.
