Hi yogis, this is Donna from Yogainmyschool.com. Today we’re here to teach you how to do
a really fun pose for spring: Flower Pose. Alea is with me to demonstrate.
First thing you need to do is put the soles of your feet together in baddha konanasa (bound
angle pose). From there put your hands on your feet and sit up nice and tall.
Next, place your hands underneath your ankles. At this point a lot of kids will try and do
it this way. So you need to make sure that their hands are underneath their ankles.
And then…you lift up and off. Make sure you are lifting your heart to the sky just
like a flower opening under the gentle rays of the sun.
You can make this into a partner pose or a group pose by being close enough and maybe
at a little bit of an angle to one another, often done in a circle with an entire group.
Again, knees are wide, hands go under, lifting off. And then grasping hands with the people
beside you. And that’s flower pose.
