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.
In this 25-minute class, you'll try “Half Lotus Tree Pose”, “Half Lotus in Standing Forward Bend” and “Reclining Wide-Angle Pose with Leg Grip”. In Tree Pose, you'll practice balancing on one leg. The class ends with time to rest lying down.
Do not put pressure on your knee as you bring your foot into Lotus. Stay in a comfortable position and use a support.
