Day 6 – Presented by Crizia @crizia_rn_yoga - #Malasana or #YogiSquat
From a standing position with your feet a little wider than hip width and your feet angled out slightly. Slowly bend your knees until you come to a comfortable position with your hips lower than your knees. You can place a bolster or block under your sit bones to relieve pressure on your knees, if needed. Place your hands in prayer position with elbows pressing into the insides of your knees and the knees pressing against your elbows. Try keeping your spine lengthened and chest open. Remain in this position for a few breaths and work your way up gradually to a few minutes. Please make sure to honor your body and only do what you are comfortable with. If you are under a doctor’s care, please check with them first before attempting any of the poses.
This pose helps to calm the mind. It also opens your hips & groin; stretches your ankles, lower hamstrings, back and neck; tones your abdominal muscles; helps with digestion; strengthens your metabolism; and keeps your pelvic & hip joints healthy. PLEASE note if you are pregnant and 35 weeks or more DO NOT do this pose as it may cause you to go into labor.

I cannot believe how fast this has went!! Again, although I have lost my momma to this terrible disease and quite a few friends…and even some that are still battling, I am so happy to have seen my dream come to fruition and put this challenge together. YOU ALL have been wonderful. Please go and give our amazing and generous sponsors some LOVE, they believed in this cause and in me! Also, all of my co-hosts, who are such talented yogis in their own right, came together with me to make this happen, I am forever grateful. ~LindaLee
