About the Pose
This restorative is an opportunity to mildly open your hips, letting them be held for as long as you wish. As you give the weight of your legs completely to the strap, feeling held, your hips will soften and open. As you let your lower back be slightly lifted, give the weight of your torso to the bolster, and as you drop your shoulders, you will gently open your chest.
