Elevate the challenge by lifting the top leg into Tree Pose while maintaining the side plank position. This variation demands increased core stability and hip flexibility. Find balance and extend the raised foot toward the sky.
There are a few anatomical actions that we need to be concerned with in garbha pindasana and kukkutasana. We continue to explore the depth of our lotus because both of the poses require a deep external hip rotation and flexion of the hip joint. If we are doing the full expression of garbha pindasana, then we are also sliding our arms through the openings between the legs in our lotus and folding the legs into our chest. Folding the lotus towards the chest happens by flexing at the hip joints.
The rolling action in garbha pindasana also requires a sufficient amount of spinal flexion. As I often say, round things roll, and flat things flop. If you don’t or can’t sufficiently flex the hips and tuck your head in, your spine doesn’t round enough to roll on it. There are some other considerations below as well.
In kukkutasana, we undo that flexion enough to place our hands on the floor and press up to lift our body off the floor. Here we are required, once again, to access the armpits for pushing into the floor. This requires strength and stability of the shoulder girdle.
#utkatasana (chair pose) it’s an amazing asana to challenge ourselves. It helps you to connect the muscles of your legs, core, arms with the breath. “Ut”it means intense, powerful. So be all this when doing it. 👉🏼Improves muscles strength 👉🏼Cardio workout ⚠️-Be careful if you suffer of high blood pressure ⚠️-Keep knees behind the big toe ⚠️-Head aligned with spine ⚠️-Keep belly in #yoga #yogaeveryday #yogalife #instayoga #boysofyoga #yogamen #nakedyoga #nudeyogaman (at Póvoa De Santa Iria, Lisboa, Portugal) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cb0WqEBMXDs/?utm_medium=tumblr

Which Chakra is Activated by Practicing Eka Pada Rajakapotasana (Pigeon Pose)
The practice of Eka Pada Rajakapotasana activates the Svadhisthana Chakra, located in the pelvic area. This energy center is associated with creativity, emotions, and the release of stored emotions. The hip-opening nature of Pigeon Pose stimulates and balances the energy flow in the Svadhisthana Chakra, fostering a sense of emotional well-being, creativity, and openness.
