It's June 1st and that means it's time to flip the yoga cat calendar to a new month. Ms. June is performing the Easy Pose above. The yoga pose is easy for a five year old, but I'm not too sure how easy it is for "mature" adults. I do a stretch similar to this after biking or running when my muscles are extremely tight and it can be kind of painful, but in a good way.
Some of the benefits of Easy Pose are:
1. Promotes inner calm
2. Helps relieve anxiety and stress
3. Lengthens your spine
4. Opens up hips
I will say this pose looks the least "dangerous" of all the other month's yoga poses. It's probably the only one I can do without loosing my balance and falling over. This could easily become my second favorite pose following the downward dog pose.
What's your favorite yoga pose?
