Asana: Your Physical Practice

In exploration of asana (our physical practice experienced through yoga postures/poses), we are able to invite the advantages of proper alignment and depth to engagement into the practice.  Within the member portal, you have access to a library of asanas/postures that have been broken down with alignment and engagement aspects highlighted for the learning yogi in us all.

Yogi Squat  /  Malasana

  • Yogi Squat, or Malasana, is a hip opening posture
  • Angle the toes outward (approximately 45 degrees), bend the knees, and lower the hips to a squatting position
  • Your weight should be evenly distributed between both feet and throughout each foot
  • If the heels lift off the floor, slide a blanket underneath of the heels
  • You may also sit on a block for added support and stability
  • Draw the hands together (Anjali Mudra) and gaze forward, broadening the chest and shining the heart
