CINDY MASTRY: Namaste. My name is Cindy Mastry, and in this clip Faith is going to help me demonstrate the bound angle pose. Bound angle pose is a hip opener. It's really good for opening the pelvis. It sends energy up the spine. It's good for elimination and digestion, so it's an important pose to know. We're going to ask Faith to bring the soles of her feet together. Good. Now, she's going to sit up nice and tall. So she wants to root those sitting bones right down into the earth, lengthen up through her torso, lift her chest, shoulder blades come down her back, and then she lengthens up through the crown of the head, chin slightly tucked in. Good. So finding that length, we're going to have her press the inner parts of her heels towards each other and think about sending her energy out through her knees, out to the opposite sides of the room. So you feel that energy coming from the inner thighs and pressing out towards the knees. Now, Faith is very flexible. Some people may not be that flexible. Their legs maybe up to here, but it doesn't matter. It's not about flexibility. We just want to think about sending that energy out to the sides. So, bound angle, it's good for digestion, elimination, opening the pelvis area. You want to use your breath and honor your body.
