http://www.melissawest.com In this episode of Namaste Yoga we will focus on kurmasana, tortoise pose, which represents the second incarnation of Vishnu. We will explore the tortoise as a symbol of perseverance with a discerning mind. When has perseverance served me in my life? When I have persevered to my own detriment. This class features postures that open up your hips and groin and creates space at the back of your pelvis around your sacrum. You will need a bolster and blocks for this practice or four pillows would do the trick.
