(Image credit: Valeria Ushakova / Pexels) Practice this again but bending into the left knee now. It’s not an easy one to hold! Hold for three slow and deep breaths before pressing into the feet on an inhale and exhale straightening the right knee and releasing. This will help you release frustration either from events in your day or towards the posture itself. If you experience any surges of heat, breathe into them and exhale slowly through to the mouth. This will produce a juicy hip stretch, create heat in the body and help lift energy so you can have a productive, rather than sluggish, evening. Exhale, start to bend your right knee but rather than leaning into the right knee, just allow your hips to drop down in the center. Inhale, lift your arms up to shoulder height with your palms facing the floor.
This will give you a strong standing base to open your hips deeply. Press into the outer edge of your left foot firmly, lifting the arches of both feet. Turn your right toes out to face the short side of the mat and turn your left foot in on a slight angle. From standing, step your feet wide facing the long side of your mat. Creating heat in your practice can help let go of any frustrations or anger you’ve felt during the day and to close your practice in a more positive mindset. To add some heat to the practice, come to stand. We’ll get a little bit more active now with Warrior II. (Image credit: Polina Tankilevitch / Pexels)
