The Firelog Pose Step by Step

• Get on your mat in a seated position.
• Lean on one side to bring your foot over your knee. The foot has to rest on the knee.
• Keeping your back straight now place your hands in the front.
• Slowly reach to your front keeping your arms straight and hold for a few seconds.
• Go back to your seated position.

Recommendations

• If you have knee problems then do not try this pose, because you need to place your foot over one knee.
• If you have knee problems you could try to place your foot closer to the knee but on the outside, not over it.
• Slowly reach down to your front as you stretch.
• Slowly go back to your original posture.
