Willie and Gina are going to help me demonstrate a really fun pose called Heaven and Earth.
In this particular pose Willie is going to be the heaven and Gina is going to get to
be the Earth because we wanted to show you that it is not always the larger or heavier
male partner that is on the bottom taking the weight. We're going to have Gina come
on to the ground, yes, she's going to bring her knees forward and she is going to come
into a modified child's pose taking her fingers in so her elbows can be out to the side. Willie
is going to come forward with a plank pose with his wrists right next to Gina's hips
and that has to be adjusted to how tall you are of course. Willie is going to lower down
gently and place his hands on Gina's knees and cup her knees, good. Gina is going to
take a big inhale in and then as she exhales she is going to press her hands right down
into the Earth and lift Willie up, good. Willie is lengthening through his legs and pressing
out through his toes, Gina representing the connection to Earth and Willie representing
the connection to Heaven. Good Willie, now you want to gently lower down, gently, gently,
gently, very slowly bring the weight on to your toes and then press off of Gina and back.
Great job guys!
