⏩️ SADDLE
🔅TIME: 3 minutes
🔅 MERIDIAN: spleen, stomach, liver, kidneys
🔅 TARGET: hip flexors, groins, quadriceps, thighs, psoas, abdomen, lower back
⭐️ BENEFITS: stimulates stomach and spleen meridians, opens the front of the body, stretches hip flexors and psoas, opens groins, stretches abdominal muscles, activates the lower back
🔅 PROPS: blanket, bolster
🔅 VARIATIONS: half saddle (knee friendly), saddle on the bolster
⏩️ HOW: Sit on the floor, bend your knees, move your feet on sides, and bring them next to your hips. Gently lower the upper body supporting it by hands, and place the back on the ground.
If this is too much for your lower back or groins and thigh muscles, you can place a bolster under your torso to elevate your upper body and fold a blanket behind your knees to ease the position of the legs.
Allow the legs to open out enough and the knees to point outwards, rather than trying to pull them together. You can place a pillow or folded blanket under your head if you can't get your head to the ground. Stay few minutes.
Come out of the posture slowly and have a short rebound.
⭐️ USE OF PROPS: A blanket under the knee. You can place your torso on the bolster.
