I was in a class at the last yoga conference taught by a Kripalu teacher and she had us do the Flamingo pose which I hadn’t done before. I can’t find a photo of it, but here’s an easy description:
- From standing clasp your hands behind your back, but keep your arms loose. Or put your palms on your lower back, fingers down and press your elbows together gently.
- Bring your right foot to your left leg just above your knee. Keep your standing knee soft. Stay here if this is enough challenge or,
- Tuck your chin to your chest and round down bringing your nose toward your bent knee. Stay here for a few breaths.
I always like to have new balancing pose challenges to add to my yoga sessions and to classes. This one is a do-again!
