Imagine that someone is holding the steering wheel of your car while you're trying to turn. If they hold firmly enough ANYWHERE on the wheel, you've got a problem. Same goes for Padmasana. If ANY part of the wheel is holding too tightly, it's not going to rotate very well. Like every hip-opening sequence I teach, this practice addresses the full circumference of your hip-joint. Like a steering wheel, your hip-joint is a full, 360 degree circle. AS ALWAYS, MAKE THIS SEQUENCE YOUR OWN AND USE IT TO INSPIRE YOUR PRACTICE AND CLASSES. And, for some additional details, make sure to check out this week's Yoga Teacher Companion for tips on how to prepare for Lotus. #yoga #yogateacher #yogateachers #yogateachertraining #yogateachertrainingcourse #yogateachertrainingss #yogateachertrainer #yogateachertrainingonline #pigeonpose #hipopening #lotuspose #advancedteachertraining
