How to do Pindasana | Embryo Pose in Ashtanga Yoga’s Closing Sequence

Pindasana might look simple, but the unique stretch within this pose still manages to target new places in your body after your entire practice is nearly finished… but do you know how to safely access this relaxing and calming posture?

In this tutorial, we’re showing you how to do PINDASANA \ EMBRYO POSE as practiced in Ashtanga's Closing Sequence. You’ll learn the traditional vinyasa cues and Sanskrit count as we show you how to enter the pose from Urdhva Padmasana, move into the state of the asana, and then transition into Matsyasana. You’ll recognize the benefits of this posture and where to feel a deep stretching sensation, as well as cues to look for that indicate you might need to back out of the pose and readjust. We also explain a variation to approach this pose if lotus isn’t accessible for you. This video will help you stay safe in the neck and shoulders, avoiding collapsing through the neck and adding support when needed.
