spine now hold on a big toes with the next inhalation look front half way look up with the next exhalation bend your both lower your head down stretch your spine down towards the floor breath in breathe out so what is actually like to happening in this Padangusthasana your legs are rotating inward because you’re doing forward

band we need to have this flexion of our pelvis okay so whenever you’re bending forward your pelvis is moving forward that is called flexor of your hips and your legs are also supposed to rotate inward so keep on bending down rotate your legs inward that’s going to help you out to deepen the posture inhale halfway look up again and then exhale put your both hands underneath your feet

so what is the difference between Padangusthasana and padahastasana your hands are directly getting underneath your feet uh whenever you’re putting your uh hands underneath your feet at that time you can easily push your reached on the floor the moment when you push it reached on the floor you will have more extension in your shoulders and that also helps us out to stretch your upper back and lower back

together in this part of satsang you will have that entire stretch from your shoulder to your upper back lower back that moves to your hamstring and your calf muscles keep moving down keep bending forward stretch feel the sensation as you are extending your muscles start to resist bring the awarness there in your muscles and

don’t resist keep on bending down and let the gravity do its work inhale halfway look up look front spiny straight and then exhale release your hands back on your hips inhale come up high all the way up and then exhale release back to samsthithi okay so these poses that we added in uh yesterday we did sun salutation A and sun salutation B
