Supta Padangusthasana B or II. Again, we'll start off laying on your back in a supine
position, with length in your spine, so it's not uncommon to have the chin lifted. This
is where you're going to lengthen the back of your head across your mat so that your
chin is neutral. And again, other way around, it's not going to be pressed in; it's going
to stay neutral. Let's go ahead and use an inhale to extend the right, left leg up to
the sky. And again, using your strap so that you can hold on to the loop, rather than the
tail, is going to make this pose a little more available to your body. We're going to
need to give some attention to the left knee, so this left knee stays directly in line with
your hip. She's going to take an inhale to lengthen the spine, and on the exhale, she's
going to very slowly begin to open her leg to the side. You want to give attention to
what's going on to this hip. So the hip needs to stay grounded, and that will determine
just how far that leg gets opened. The moment she starts to lift is the moment she's done.
She needs to ground that hip, and again, look at what's happening with the knee. She wants
to keep the knee in line with the hip, and open up, and you can open up your arm for
a little more support. But this is it for her. She's getting a nice stretch from the
inner groin to the heel.
