This one is easy to do incorrectly, particularly if you're still building your flexibility and can't square the hips. For basic alignment: . ✔️Hips square + forward ✔️Long spine from crown to back leg ✔️Tailbone tucked ✔️Front foot flexed ✔️Back leg straight ?If unsteady when squaring hips place cushion / blanket under bent leg hip to prop up. ✨BENEFITS: Stretches hips, glutes and groin, massages internal organs, releases emotional and physical tension ✨ Enjoy! #ClaresYogaTips #posealignment .
