Instructions

  1. Start by kneeling on a yoga mat with your knees spread wider than your hips and your feet slightly apart behind you.

  2. Slowly lower your hips down between your heels, keeping your glutes resting on the floor or a yoga block if needed.

  3. Keep your spine tall and upright, resting your hands gently on your thighs with your shoulders relaxed away from your ears.

  4. Breathe deeply into your lower abdomen while maintaining a gentle stretch through your quads and inner thighs.

  5. Hold this comfortable seated posture for several steady breaths, then gently release.
