On the mat, double pigeon twist. One of my favorite poses. And this pose is a hip

opener and a twist all in one. Tons of fun. Okay, so let's stack our right shin on top of our left

shin. You're basically placing your ankle on knee and your knee on your ankle and flex your feet.

Take the flesh from the thighs, roll it out, sitting up nice and tall.

Now exhale and fold forward.

Take your right upper arm to your left foot.

So your hands are in prayer, right upper arm to your left foot, right elbow on the floor,

hands are in prayer and you're twisting to the left.

Inhale, lengthen, exhale, twist. Now if you do not quite get all the way to the floor, take your right hand to the outside of the left knee

and sweep your left arm up, so you're twisting open to the floor take your right hand to the outside of the left knee and sweep your left arm up

so you're twisting open to the left taking a few deep breaths here come back to the center

switch legs repeat on other side so now you'll have the left foot on top of the right or left

shin actually on top of the right ankle on knee on knee, knee on ankle, feet flexed.

Take your left upper arm to the outside of the right foot, elbows on the floor, and sweep

open to the right.
