It's one of my favorite poses to start with as I ease in to the rest of my yoga flow, so let's get started! 🧘🏼♀️ 🙏🏻🕉️ Step one: Sit on the floor or mat whichever you prefer, then begin stretching your legs straight in front of you. Step 2: Bend your right leg at the knee, and begin placing your right foot on your left thigh gently with the help of your hands. You should already feel a good stretch in your right hip flexor. Step 3: Now, fold your left leg at the knee as you tuck it under your right ankle. Step 4: Bring your palms to center touching one another as pictured here, and begin breathing deeply. Start by breathing all the way in through your nose until you can't anymore, and then exhale through your mouth entirely. Do this breath work at least five times in a row, in order to slow down your nervous system. Step 5: Once you feel comfortable in this position with your palms to center still, straighten out both legs and then bend your left leg at the knee. Once again gently with the help of your hands, place the left foot on your right thigh. Step 6: Bend your right leg at the knee, this time tucking it under your left thigh. You will feel a good stretch in your left hip flexor now, remember during your pose continuing your breathe work I stated in step four. Padmasana is great to open up your hips especially if you are seated often, wether it's driving, or if you're sitting at a desk for most of your day. Stay tuned for more yoga poses and breath work. 💖 Namaste everyone~ remember to stay beautiful and continue spreading love and light through out your day. 💓💗💖💘💝💞💘💓💗💖💘💝💕💖💗💓💕
