40m
Sita is extremely patient. She represents nonviolent resistance, unconditional love and the ability to "suffer" well. This sequence explores postures where impatience often pops up like toe stretch, lizard and more. If you aren’t familiar with yin we hold the postures for a couple minutes to target the connective tissue instead of the muscles. Grab two blocks, a bolster and a blanket for this one. Movement is done on hands/knees and lying down on back and belly. If you need extra cushion under your knees consider doing this one in bed.
