Seated Wide Angle Pose Sequence is a yoga pose that stretches the inner thighs, groins, and hamstrings. It also helps to improve flexibility in the spine and open the hips. Here is a step-by-step guide on how to perform this pose:
How to perform
1. Begin by sitting on the floor with your legs extended out in front of you.2. Slowly open your legs out to the sides as wide as you comfortably can, keeping your knees and toes pointing towards the ceiling.
3. Inhale and lengthen your spine, sitting up tall.
4. Exhale as you begin to bend forward from your hips, keeping your spine straight.
5. Place your hands on the floor in front of you, and continue to walk them out as far as you can, keeping your back flat.
6. Hold this position for 5-10 deep breaths, continuing to relax and release any tension in your hips and groin area.
7. To come out of the pose, slowly walk your hands back towards your body, and sit up tall.
8. Bring your legs back together, and shake them out to release any tension.
9. Repeat the sequence as desired, focusing on deep breaths and relaxing into the stretch.
This sequence can be modified by using a prop, such as a yoga block or bolster, to support your hands or forehead while in the forward fold position. It is important to listen to your body and only go as far into the stretch as is comfortable for you.
