April Pose of the Month
Welcome, fellow yogis, to another exciting journey on our mats! Today, we're diving into the serene realm of Vikasitakamalasana, also known as the Blossoming Lotus Pose. Just like a lotus gracefully unfurls its petals, this pose invites us to unlock our inner beauty and radiate positivity. So, roll out your mat, take a deep breath, and let's blossom together!
Picture yourself in a serene garden, surrounded by lush greenery and vibrant flowers. The air is filled with the sweet scent of blossoms, and the gentle rustle of leaves creates a soothing symphony. As you step onto your mat, feel the earth beneath you supporting every movement, grounding you in the present moment.
How to do Vikasitakamalasana / Blossoming Lotus Pose?
1. Begin in Bhujapidasana / Shoulder Pressing Pose.
2. Exhale and sit down. Lean backwards and balance your weight on your sitting bones. Rest your calves on your forearms to support your legs.
3. Press your heels together and open your palms to face the sky.
4. Inhale and straighten your spine.
5. Tighten your abdominal and pelvic muscles.
6. Touch the tip of your index fingers with the tip of your thumbs.
7. Close your eyes and stay in this pose for as long as you can.
As you slowly release from Vikasitakamalasana, take a moment to express gratitude for this opportunity to nurture your body and soul. Just like the lotus flower, may you continue to bloom and grow, spreading love and light wherever you go. Until next time, remember to keep exploring, keep evolving, and keep blooming brightly on your yoga journey.
