In tree pose we begin in mountain, feet pointing forward, equal balance on all four corners of the feet. Imagine that you are squeezing a pillow between the inner thighs.

Inner thigh is another very easy relaxing posture. Bring your feet up and put your feet together and let your heels come in. You try to hold on to those toes but if that is difficult for you, move your hands down towards your ankles, move them down to your lower leg and whatever it […]
