Begin Your Healing Journey With Rest
A great way to begin your healing is to get some rest. It’s hard to make great choices when you’re tired and burnt out. We need a sound and clear mind to function in this world because we are facing unprecedented challenges on a daily basis. . How are you resting today?
The Wide Angle Seated Forward bend is one of my favorite yoga poses.
It’s a deep hip opener and by using a bolster we can fully relax into the pose while staying lengthened.
- Start in a seated position with your legs extended out in front.
- Widen your legs out to the side as far as is comfortable.
- Flex your feet and point the toes up toward the ceiling.
- Place a bolster lengthwise between your legs, with the short edge up against your groin. Elevate the other end of the bolster with a yoga block.
- Inhale and thoroughly lengthen the spine. Remember not to hunch your back as you fold your torso over the bolster.
If you don’t have a bolster, Hugger Mugger makes a great one in a variety of colors. You can click on the link below and order it on Amazon using my affiliate link.
