of Hips and Backs

This is a great hip opener, legs in full lotus pose. The pose looks simple, however, it requires good balance, strong core to hold the legs close to the body & flexibility to have your arms in front of the legs. Some warms up pose before getting into this pose as below:-

You could also do the pigeon pose or the cradle, which I like or whichever pose that you favour that opens up your hips.

Ouch, ouch, ouch!

Before attempting to do the Bow pose, we had to warm up our spine, hence the flexibility. The warm up poses includes camel pose to open up the back, single leg lifts (1 legged bow pose, with opposite hand holding the leg.). But then of course, perfection in the pose is important to Felix that he had to pull our legs to the back as we aren't strong enough to kick our legs to the back to help us raise our body higher. Gosh, it hurts, and I was just holding back my facial expression as I know pics are being taken.

I would say that her bow pose is beautiful. But wait till you scroll down further to see Felix, the rubber man.



Rubber man showing off to us, LOL.
