AHHhhh!

 

I was lucky enough to spend three consecutive days on three different weekends with these three beautiful ladies.

Guess what we talked about. Do you really need me to say it.

YOGA!

Pictured above is Baddha Konasana – one of my favorite simple poses.  Doing this postures for a minute or so every day will:

stimulates abdominal organs, stimulates the heart and improves general circulation, stretches the inner thighs, groins, and knees, helps relieve mild depression, anxiety, and fatigue, sciatica pain, and that is just to name a few.

Hold on to your feet and fold forward to deepen the stretch. You do not have to move very far to feel an intense stretch – so remember to breathe.

Over all I love the AHHHhhh feeling you get when you release tension that has built up in our bodies. Most of the time we do not even realize we are holding on to tension. Give it a try – couldn’t we  all use a little more AHHhhh feeling in our day.

FYI: when you first start this pose you might feel a little tight in the inner thighs, so use a pillow under both knees for support. Also, sitting against the wall is a great idea and will help with your posture.
