Slow Flow “Half Happy Baby” Preparing for Padangusthasana

To open up the low back, hamstrings and hips, as well as prepare for more advanced balances. In this “half happy baby” pose, we are setting up for the more advanced balance Utthita Padangusthasana on Saturday. As always, it’s not that what the “fancy” leg is doing: pay more attention to the straight leg: the leg that’s on the floor. It is your “standing” leg and the source of your power and strength. Keeping it active will help create more space in the back and make the (eventual) balance significantly easier. To see all of these videos in one organized spot, visit https://dailyflow.yoga/blog
