Yoga - Side Angle Pose Beginner - Women's Fitness

Yoga - Side Angle Pose Beginner - part of the women's fitness video series by GeoBeats. I am going to show you the extended side angle pose today, an easy variation of it. So we will start from warrior two. Bring the left foot forward, the right foot back. In a nice wide position about four and half feet apart, arms out stretched. From there bring the left arm down to the leg near the knee and stretch the right arm all the way overhead, one straight line from the outer edge of the right foot through the fingertips. Then start to rotate the right ribcage all the way back. Also remember to push down into your supporting arm to create space between the neck and the shoulder and remain there for 5 to 10 breaths. To come out return back to the warrior two, straighten the front knee and you can turn the feet and go to the other side. After practicing on the other side, turn the feet and either step or hop together. So this posture helps to strengthen the thighs and also helps to stretch and strengthen both sides of the body.
