September Pose of the Month

September's Pose of the Month is Reclined Figure Four, and if your hips are feeling a little cranky, this one's worth getting to know.

You’ll start on your back, cross one ankle over the opposite thigh, and draw the legs toward you.

Looks simple.

Your hips may have opinions.

Figure Four works into the outer hips and glutes, and throughout September we're going to explore different ways to practice it.

Because you know how we feel about poses around here.

Your job isn't to make your body look like the person next to you. Your job is to figure out what the pose is supposed to do, then find the version that works for your body.

Let's start reclined, hugging knees into chest, with a strap or using a block. Same pose. Different ways in.
