Wonderful pose. I did have to make some modifications since I am not quite flexible. But what a wonderful pose. My lower back/hip area aching from my long run yesterday and this pose helped relieved it. Feeling so much better. Thanks, Ester!
My right hip (mostly) is quite inflexible for some reason, and I can barely move my right foot/leg in between my arms the way you do it in the beginning of the video. What pose or exercise would you suggest to increase flexibility? Thank you.
I have trouble touching my hand to the ground on the same side as the forward leg during the low dragon - because either I am too busty or just too fat. Any suggestions for a modification?
I can't say why without seeing you, but see can you adjust, go less deep, adjust the placement of feet/legs so it feels good and not painful anymore. Put a little effort into pulling your thighbone in the hip joint, while you do what you do, see if that makes a difference.
Esther, I just found your channel and am loving it! I was looking for some hip openers and discovered you. I would really like to include this in my practice, but I am expecting. What could i replace the downward facing dog with that would be safe for pregnancy? Thanks so much!!
Doing this weekly for Year of the Dragon! Thanks for a great video! Three months to go!!
Hope you enjoy it!

A bit late, but put your hand up on blocks, make the floor higher... all good, different body types need different adjustments

Thank you !
the intensity of this pose on hips opening is wonderful :) it helped me out a lot with many of my qiqong practice. Much appreciated!!!
very intense but enjoyable. thank you!
If only I had time to do this...So much studying for my exam tomorrow, so little time....But I liked it in advance, because I know it'll be good.
Thank you very much Esther. My hips thank you too :-) Hips, thighs and calves in heaven.
do you know the name of this pose in sanscrito?
i'm not sure that i can do this as i'm not all that flexible, but i do have some hip problems, so i'm definitely going to try! :)
Thank you Ester, this was helpful!
Peace and love,

One side your toes were resting other side curled in which is correct

where is the Dragon Split?
🙏💛🙏💛
@dopeisnik have you tried it? i nearly died.
Ekhart Yoga , why do you initiate breathing? In yin yoga you don't initiate breathing...
Ouf la traduction est mauvaise.
A pose to welcome in the Year of The Dragon. Lets hope The Dragon is friendly! :-)

No, it's a Dutch accent.
