So just a little disclaimer with this one. There are different variations and Sanskrit names for this pose. I’ve never found anything that strictly says, “this is the best name etc.” Keeping that in mind, I’m going by how I’ve always known it and the Sanskrit. But Goddess Pose can be known as Utkata Konasana. This pose is great for opening up the hips and just relaxing. Just like with Bridge Pose, keep those shoulders tucked to prevent injury. This pose is best to use with blocks for beginners or those who just can’t *that* deep into the pose. Blocks should be placed under your knees, but I tend to move mine around to find the best comfort. The key with this pose is actually to stay in it for a little while. I would suggest 3 minutes for beginners, or go longer if you feel like you can. Goddess Pose is all about opening yourself up, and you’ve been working hard the past few days, so you deserve to just really enjoy this pose.
