In this pose, Gina and I are going to demonstrate the Double Padmasana into a Flowering Lotus.
Padmasana means lotus and it's a certain way of being, of sitting. So you have to be able
to come into Full Lotus to do this pose. So if you are not able to come into Full Lotus
comfortably, please do not attempt this. Full Lotus would be with both heels up just as
Gina is sitting. Good. So we're going to come in turn facing each other, Gina's going to
come into her Full Lotus or Padmasana, and I'm going to ask Gina to lift her knees using
her abdominals in to her body. There's no way getting around scooching in this pose.
so I'm just going to scooch forward and we're going to press our knees and our hips together.
Good. And we're going to reach to our partner's shoulders. Inhale lengthen and exhale draw
your knees towards each other, good, bringing the blood flow to the pelvic region, opening
your hips as well as opening your heart. Good. On the next we're going to inhale and lengthen,
we're going to slide our arms down, that trust issue grabbing on to your partner's upper
arm, lift your chest, drop your head back and flower your lotus, open your petals. Breath.
Good. Then gently drawing your elbows in to help your partner back up. Hands come down.
And then you have to move away. Good.
