Aurorae's 12 Yoga Poses of Christmas - Day 6

Aurorae is proud to announce our "12 Yoga Poses of Christmas" in light of the holiday season.

Day 6 Yoga Pose: Warrior II (Virabhadrasana II)

From your Warrior I pose, open your arms out and bring the right arm in front of you and the left arm behind. Now open your left hip back and keep your right knee bent and your right thigh parallel to the floor. From here, draw your belly in slightly and make sure that your shoulders are directly over the hips. Now reach out through both finger tips as high as you can and gaze forward over your right hand. Now engage the triceps to support your arms and your quads to support your legs. Repeat on the left side.

What are the benefits of the Warrior II pose? 

• It strengthens your legs and arms
• It opens up your chest and shoulders
• It tones your abdominal muscles
• It increases your stamina
• It creates improved strength in your legs and ankles
• It is therapeutic for flat feet, sciatica, backaches and osteoperosis

Aurorae's 12 Poses of Christmas - Day 3

Aurorae is proud to announce our "12 Yoga Poses of Christmas" in light of the holiday season.


Day 3 Yoga Pose: Seated Forward Bend (Paschimottanasana)

Sit on the floor with your legs straight in front of you. Press through the heels and rock slighty onto your left buttock while pulling your right sitting bone away from the hell with your right hand. Repeat with the other side. Turn the top thighs in slightly and press them down into the floor. Press through your hand palms or finger tips, whichever you can get, on the floor beside your hips and lift the top of your chest toward the ceiling. Lengthen your tailbone away from the back of your pelvis. If you are unable to do this, loop a strap around the soles of your feet (as shown below), and hold the strap firmly. Keep your elbows straight. With every breath, lift and lengthen the front of your chest slightly and with every exhale, release a little more into the forward bend. Stay in pose for 1-3 minutes.

What are the benefits of the seated forward bend?

• It stretches your spine, back, hamstrings and groin
• It massages and stimulates your liver and kidneys
• It improves digestion and helps with gastric ailments
• It calms your mind and central nervous system
• It relieves anxiety, fatigue, headache, and menstrual discomfort
• It helps relieve menopause symptoms
