Right on Tif! tried it this morning.I think I’ll have fire all day.
Your video just improved my range of motion with this 40%!!!!!!!!!
Since you’ve posted this video I’m practicing every other day with the easiest version, 3 min per leg. I have really tight hips and I already notice a big difference. I thank you because I learn the importance of having hip opened not just for fiscal purpose, but mainly for your interior happiness. Hope you reach my message. Namaste
Thank you, Esther!! I really need this. I’m still having difficulty doing the full lotus pose, especially on my left hip.
I am one of those who cannot get her thighs to touch the mat on normal pigeon, but firelog pose is a breeze. I actually had to google images and videos to see if I was doing it wrong as I could not believe that it was that easy for me.
should you top foot sit on or below the knee? I thought i was Hip happy but this pose is telling me different. My top knee is quite high up from being stacked x
OMG!! that was awesome instructions. I followed along as you did it. I didn’t think I was limber enough. WOW!!
great reminder..thanks…i love holding poses and doing the meditation work….. can u show a good psoas stretch please namaste
Thanks beautiful, I saw this in a practice I was watching and since I love pigeon, I’ve decided this is the next progression. Love how you explained it, will definitely be doing that practice with double pigeon tomorrow! Namaste
Hi Landon…I clicked on this video since I did the full chatarunga class this morning and you incorporated this in. I am one of those that it is too easy. I feel nothing. I actually have been doing it for most of life not knowing it was a yoga pose. In fact I sit at my desk in my chair like this all the time. I also cross both feet over each thigh (don’t know what that pose is called if it is one) Don’t know if that is good or bad. Lol. So I was looking for a way to make it do something for me. The stretching towards the top knee is helpful, can feel some stretch there. Pigeon(or half pigeon) is another one that is very easy for me but now King Pigeon is a whole different story, that is a work in progress. Don’t know if I will ever get there. Anyway Love your explanations of poses!
gerrrrrr must work hard to open hips hahahaha cracked me up
The pillow under the knee was a relief for me..Thanks a lot for sharing!
Esther, this is probably my first time ever trying a yoga-hip-stretch.. Im still young so I want to take care of my body and move:).
do you have to put both ankles under your knee? Also I feel it in my glutes,hams.. just tried it…I felt a strange tingling feeling…a very energizing (blood?) ”flow”…felt so goood
Glutes are sore, that is normal for first time?
namaste
Thanks for the tip with the cushion! It has always been my feeling that there is only a point or benefit in this if you relax into it, and that is only possible with a cushion where you don’t have to struggle to support the weight of the leg that’s not coming down…
Please explain or can you give a tip as mentioned below why the knee hurts?
Dear lovelifeandsmile2
May I just say yoga is not a race it doesn’t even matter how flexible you are or become or may not even become.But its the concentration element I personally find if I don’t expect anything from my yoga practice I can not be disapointed and any physical gains are a bonus.
I love this video becuase the meditation is mentioned and in essence that is yoga because if it was only for the flexible then only contorsusionists acrobats gymnasts would do yoga. Thanks 4 sharing
Thanks for explaining so well how to get into the pose!!!
Nah!I did -25 lbs in two weeks.Visit hawght.so\#inihAgU
THHdZoEk6jictRPK1
Thank you for the options, I have a little hope,that in the years to come might be able to do a pose
Thanks for making the point about the flexed foot! I have super tight hips and cannot do this pose, but I know that I need it and I have been “cheating” unwittingly and hurting my knee, now I know what I am looking for.
Thank you so much for clear and easy to understand instructions!
This is great for me thank you Esther. I can’t even get into the second variation! Love the leggings btw:)
This looks good. I am looking for some good hip stretching exercises and hip strengthening exercises at the moment. Presently I am doing one called “The Clam” which my Physiotherapist showed to me. However I always like to have a choice of exercises and stretches.
I shall try this, I’m an experience martial artists, and whilst most people would say I’m very flexible, it is more a ‘martial art’ flexibility, and I’ve always felt my hips hinder my stretching to achieve a relaxed full side split position
would you say this is mostly caused by hip stiffness? Do you believe there is a physical limitation for some people by the hips on side split position, or can anyone overcome this? Thank you for sharing!
I have been trying this pose for weeks and, with your guidance, got pretty dang close in just a few minutes. THANKS!! I am a fan of you❤️
Thank you, this answered a few questions I had about the pose that I never understood why people found it so intense and I didn’t even in a fold.
If you can do even some of this, you’re flexible enough to not need the video. Searing pain in multiple places. No, thanks.
I suck at this… Any other helper exercises you can recommend to aid in my progression?
used to hate this posture…Now it’s a favorite, Thanks Mark!
Thanks for giving such a detailed walk-through for how to do this. Talking about the angle of the knee was a big help:D
