Bound Side Extended Yoga Angle Pose
One way to deepen your yoga poses is to bind. Ingber explains that the yoga bound poses involve clasping your hands so as to rotate and open your shoulders and torso.
“Patience is a quality that must be developed, for binds require flexibility, the strength of body and mind, as well as balance.”
She adds: “Resisting the temptation to react by either giving up or forcing it are qualities that translate and assimilate into the emotional body as well. In order to deepen your practice, there must be willing to meet your edge, while disengaging from the end result, and, above all, listening to your body”
