Blankets edge is not touching the wall
And your hips should have about a half an inch. Your glutes should be about a half an inch away from the wall as well
This is where I already have our strap
Going to bring it into a loop. I
Like to have my legs in the strap for this pose so that I can relax and don't have to worry about my legs
laying out and falling to the sides, so
Loop your strap
For targets if you're using a strap alternative
Bringing your strap to about hips distance apart. You might need to adjust once it's on your legs
Bringing your strap to your shin
Your shins not on gear needs they're on your shoes and
Avoid placing the buckle of the strap on your skin as well
Once they are fixed out hips distance apart. You can relax your legs completely make sure the strap is not
disrupting you in any way
Place your hands down by your sides palms facing the ceiling close your eyes and begin to deepen your breathing
Breathing in and out through your nose
Draw your attention inward
Focusing on your inhales and exhales I invite you to use your breath to help you relax
By imagining that each
exhale
Relaxes your body deeper and deeper relax it and also loose with joints
your skin everything when your body is relaxing and melting into the ground deeper and
deeper with each exhale
And remain here
Bring some slight gentle altru back into your body
bending your legs
You can remove the shrimp from your legs and send it off to the side
When you're ready roll to the right side of your body rest there with the arm under your head for support
Slowly make your way up to a seated position
Listen all my pregnant
Not good, if you don't want to cross your shins
Flex your feet under your knees. Bring your hands to your legs
sit up tall close your eyes take a deep breath in and
a deep breath out
Bring your hands to meet at the center of your chest and bow your head to your fingertips namaste
