Firelog Pose
Kiana Ng Yoga
Agnisthambasana
Firelog pose is a great hip opener that I love to use to facilitate release in the hips!
Alignment Principles
- Start in a seated position with your knees bent and feet on the ground
- Take your right shin parallel to the top of your mat with your right knee in line with your right hip
- Stack left ankle on top of the right knee so that both shins are right on top of each other
- Flex both feet strongly, there should be no sickling in the ankle
- Option to stay upward with a long spine or fold forwards
Prep. Poses:
- Sleeping Pigeon
