Today we're going to learn dragonfly pose.
For dragonfly,
Come to sitting on your mat with your legs spread out wide.
You don't need to come to your widest stretch,
But just to a comfortable open-legged position that you'll be able to stay in for a couple of minutes.
If you want to support yourself here.
You might find it more comfortable to sit on to a block or a folded blanket.
And if your hamstrings are tight.
Especially if your knees are bent as you sit like this.
Place some cushions or blankets under your knees for support.
Now take a breath in to lift your spine and chest.
And then as you exhale,
Fold forwards over your legs.
Come to your edge.
To the place where you start to feel some intensity.
And relax into the posture here If you feel your muscles gripping around your thigh,
Encourage them to relax.
You can rest your hands on the mat in front of you.
Or if you're more flexible,
You may like to rest on the forearm.
And now observe what you feel in the posture.
Now slowly make your way back out of the pose.
Walk your hands in to bring yourself back up to sitting.
And now take your feet to the mat and just rock your legs from side to side.
Notice any sensations or effects from the posture.
Notice any feelings of energy or chi moving.
Now make your way down to lying on your back.
And just observe any feelings in your body.
Thank you for joining today's session.
