Preparing for Lotus Pose in yoga starts with hip mobility and leg flexibility. Stretches and strengthening poses help you work on stability and movement within your available range of motion.
This 10-minute class includes “Squat Kriya with Leg Extended to the Side”, “Warrior 2 Pose with Thigh Support” and “Low Side-to-Side Weight-Shift Kriya”. In the Warrior poses, you'll work on leg strength and core stability. You'll finish by lying down to rest.
Do not put pressure on your knee as you bring your foot into Lotus. Stay in a comfortable position and use a support.
