Happy Monday!
Today's pose is Utthita Parsvakonasana - Extended side angle pose


You can check out my blog post on this pose from 2011 here:

Below are a few pose variations from this morning.

Sandbags help to release the hip down and deepen at the hip.

Foot up on block helps keep knee over heel and bring the thigh bone more into the socket.

Straps help to roll the thighs out and deepen at the front hip.
 

Namaste.
