Savasana, variation

Corpse Pose, variation

Slide forward to your belly and gently roll over onto

your back. Place a block under your sacrum to

lengthen your tailbone and counter the sequence’s

deep hip opening. Let your feet fall out to the sides.

Extend your arms along your body. Let go of

Ujjayi breath and come back to breathing naturally.

Relax and receive the gifts of your practice.

Hip Opener

Come to all fours and rest on your forearms.

Widen your knees as far apart as you can, with

thighs perpendicular to your torso and knees bent

at 90 degrees. Flex your feet. Stay lifted on your

forearms, or stack your hands to create a pillow

to rest your forehead on. Find a balance of effort

and ease. Let yourself expand with joyous breath.

Firelog Pose

Sweep your left leg around and stack your left
shin on top of your right, feet flexed. Press your
hands down by your hips and scoot your hips back
a few inches. Lift your heart high as you inhale
and broaden your chest. Ride your exhalation down
as you fold forward. Rest your forearms on a
block, or the floor. Unwind, return to Downward
Dog, and repeat the first four poses on the left.
