This is my birthday week. Let’s celebrate with “favorites” yours and mine.
Supta Baddha Konasana is my favorite restorative pose. It is so relaxing and has many restorative benefits. What’s your favorite way to relax? Judith Laster, in her book Relax and Renew p.33, says this pose is “the most important in the restorative series. Physically it opens the chest, abdomen, and pelvis. These areas are often restricted by the ways we stand and sit, the shape of our chairs, and even the fit of our clothes. Psychologically it allows for a deep opening with safety and support. As the chest opens, the arms and legs are cradled by the props.”
