So in the cultivation of this hip opening, with this pose; I think it's skillful to employ
a lot of different variation and a lot of strategies. So I'm going to show you a few
more. There's of course the pressing down, lifting up, we did that one last time on the
other leg. And then there's this coming down in front of the foot, try to get that arm
or shoulder against the foot, hands together, prayer position. And I think the challenge
here at least for me, is to move from all being compressed and contracted by the intensity
of this hip movement to being elongated. So I'm going to push through that back leg out
through the crown. I'm not really trying to turn a whole lot, I'm just trying to be long,
open, full of breath. And then, carry up, toes turning on your pelvis, turning a little
bit. I'm going to take it a little bit the other way. I won't do it exactly the same
way on the other side. I don't think it's as effective, but, you can, this is something
so forgiving, you can experiment with. Turning the other way, turning the other way, I like
to stay a little lifted. When I'm a little lifted, I can work the core, I could deal
on those standing poses as standing twist. This is a little bit like that. Revolving
Side Angle Standing Pose. You want to be sort of drawn in and out. And then you can rock,
deep breaths. So it's not floppy. Okay. I don't think it's a good idea to just letting
go to sleep. I think it, you're going to get better results if you stay open up, lifted
and full of breath. When you've done enough of that, you come back to center. Now straight
down in the middle.
