Goddess Pose can look silly as we stare at each other with
our 'Five Star' Pose of Hands and Head up and Feet flat on
floor squatting with knees bent and smiling with confidence!
Goddess Pose is one of many strengthening poses which helps
opens the hips and chest while strengthening and toning the lower body. Goddess pose stimulates the uro-genital, respiratory and cardiovascular systems.

Legs are as wide apart as what is comfortable for you,
Feet pointing 45 degrees away, squatting, hands facing forward, elbows bent and fingers pointing up~~~
Press the hips forward, press the knees back above toes. Drop the shoulders down and back and press the chest toward the front of the room. Keep the arms active, as if they were holding a big ball over your head. Look ahead with the chin parallel to the floor. Then exclaim:
“I am Confident and Strong!”

Breathe and hold for 3 -6 breaths.

To release: inhale and press into the feet, reaching the fingers out to the sides, turning the toes back to center. (One can place palms on thighs for this pose also)

**Do not attempt this if you have recent or chronic injury to the legs, hips, back or shoulders.


You must stay in shape. My grandmother began walking five miles a day when she was sixty-five. She's ninety-three today, and we don't know where she is! **The humor in the everyday is what keeps our juices flowing. There are almost always funny aspects to all of life~~~try to find them.
