Half Frog Pose – Ardha Bhekasana

half-frogFSphinx Pose (Salamba Bhujangasana) to Half Frog Pose (Ardha Bhekasana).  As you can see in the pictures this is a great opportunity for a chest stretch.  Grab your foot from inside your arch and press your leg away from your body.  This will pull on your arm and create an excellent chest opener.  You’ve got to open up your heart!  Then the next step is to start bending your elbow and bring your foot toward you.  This then becomes a great Quadriceps Stretch.  WAY safer than trying to stand up and do it.
