- SUPTA PADANGUSTHASANA, VARIATION
Place your left hand on the left hip for awareness and stability. Inhale to prepare and
exhale to open up your right leg toward the right side. Engage the right thigh, and
keep grounding the left hip to the earth. Keep the hips level and neutral; if your left
hipbone starts to lift off the mat, you’ve gone too far! Stay for 10 to 15 slow, deep
breaths.
BEGINNER VARIATION Hold on to both ends of the strap with the right hand and
open up the right leg to the right, using the strap for support. Bend the elbow to
deepen the stretch for the inner thigh.
