reclined hero pose - take me, i'm wide open

Updated: Nov 15, 2023

when i do reclined hero pose (Supta virasana), i feel like i'm either

(a) in a surgery room

(b) a fish out of water waiting for a bird to prey on me with my belly up

(c) a dog waiting for it's owner to give me belly rubsgood thing i'm not any of those b/c i hope to live a healthy life regardless of how long it is heh.


maybe being a dog doesn't seem that bad if my owner happened to be oprah (OPRAH ADOPT ME. woof woof 🐶)


this is a great pose for people who have terrible posture like me, who hunch over in front of a desk and have tight hip flexors, or anyone who just wants to stretch the front side of their belly wishing that oprah would adopt an adult child


šŸ’” Priorities:

1/ hip internal rotation

2/ hip extension (lengthening of your hip flexors)

3/ chest opener


🌱 Poses / drills:

1/ pinwheel IR drills

2/ supported fish pose variation

3/ half frog

4/ BLOCK!! can't get your booty down?? get yo block
