CINDY MASTRY: Namaste. My name is Cindy Mastry and in this clip I'm going to be demonstrating the Fire Log Pose. It's a hip opener and we're going to start in seated Dandasana. Good. So ideally your right hip is--your right knee is going to come straight out from your right hip and your right ankle is going to come straight out from your right knee. You're then going to place your left knee on top of the leg with your left knee ideally coming straight out from your left hip and your left ankle going straight out from your left knee. So you're making opposite L's with both your legs. Now you might find that this does not work for you, you might find that your knee is up to here if your hips are not open so--and that's where most people's are, so don't worry about that. That's perfectly fine. You want to lengthen up through your tailbone up through the crown of the head. If this is too much, you can always take your foot to the inside of the knee or even cross your ankles to get the same opening through the hips. But in Fire Log, you stack your logs and then feel the burn. So inhale lengthening up and as you exhale you bring your chest forward, trying to bring your chest to the floor in front of you. Good. That's going to bring more fire into your logs. Inhale, lengthen, exhale, bring that length forward, just lengthen right about your hips. Good. So, this is Fire Log pose. It's a hip opener. Remember to stack your logs and then feel the burn.
