Asana: Upavistha Konasana
Brief alignment: Start from a seated position and open the legs out to the side as you flex both feet. Press through the sit bones, lengthen the spine, and hinge at your hips with your lower back straight. Gradually fold down, keeping the alignment. 
Benefits: Stretches hamstrings and hips
Contraindications: Hamstrings, hips and lower back injury
Yogea Asana Lab breaks down your favorite classical poses - guiding you through safe alignment and smooth transitions. It is not a yoga routine, and requires prior warm up depending on the complexity of each asana. Each pose is demonstrated only on one side, so please, don’t forget to do it on the other. The idea is to offer some valuable alignment and energetic tips on how to progress from simple to complex asana, while enjoying a safe and pain-free practice.
