Legs Wide

Sitting with legs wide apart prepares you for the feeling of softening and opening for birth. This encourages the lengthening of the inner thighs and backs of the legs. The diameters of the pelvic canal widen and the pelvis is anchored, which releases tension in the back and shoulders.

NOTE: Practice of these postures without guidance from a teacher or appropriate book, if you are not familiar with them, is not advised.
