Yoga

Fire log pose (right)

Beginner
Glutes

Starting position: Sit on the mat with both legs bent, right shin parallel to the front edge of the mat and left shin parallel to the left side of the mat, creating a stacked log position. Execution: Maintain this seated position while breathing deeply and allowing the hips to relax and open.

Find your pose

  1. 01Sit on your mat and bend both knees, positioning your right shin parallel to the front edge of the mat
  2. 02Place your left leg so the shin is parallel to the left side of your mat, creating two parallel lines like stacked logs
  3. 03Rest your hands on the mat in front of you for support
  4. 04Keep your spine tall and shoulders relaxed
  5. 05Hold the position while taking slow, deep breaths
  6. 06Focus on allowing your hips to gradually release and open

Keep in mind

  • Keep both sitting bones grounded on the mat throughout the pose
  • Avoid forcing the stretch - let gravity naturally deepen the hip opening
  • If you feel discomfort in the knees, place a cushion or block under the elevated hip
  • Maintain an upright posture rather than collapsing forward
  • This pose targets deep hip flexors and external rotators for improved mobility

Move within a comfortable range and stop if you feel pain. Seek guidance from a qualified professional if you have an injury or health condition.
