Angel Ardito teaches a partner yoga pose where one person sits on the other's lap, rocks back, and uses foot pressure to lift their hips until their knees align over their partner's shoulders. The receiver then lowers onto the giver's legs and opens their knees while the giver supports their hips.

And welcome back, you nasties. If you're new here, no, I'm not really talking about yoga. Today's yoga pose is going to be another one where the receiving yoga partner is only receiving and the giving yoga partner is only giving. Giving yoga partner is going to sit up against a couch, a bed, or a chair, somewhere with a surface that's behind them. Depending on the height of the giving yoga partner, they may need to scoot their hips a little bit further forward or a little bit further back to make sure that their shoulders are not too high up above the surface that's behind them. Once the giving yoga partner is in place, then the receiving yoga partner is going to sit on the lap of the giving yoga partner. They're going to rock back, bring each of their legs on either side of the giving yoga partner, and then as they press their feet into the surface behind the giving yoga partner, they're going to push their hips up and kind of inch their way forward. And yes, you should have the giving yoga partner help you with this. Once you're all the way forward with your knees over the giving yoga partner's shoulders, at that point you can lower down and relax all the way back onto their legs. Place your hands down on either side of you, lift your hips up. The giving yoga partner should be supporting with their hands here, and the receiving yoga partner can widen their feet out and open their knees. The nice thing about this pose is that you're not doing all the work. Your partner can support you at the hips, but also you can move side to side or up and down, whatever feels right for you in the moment. This yoga pose is definitely not for everyone, and if it's not for you, that's okay. But if you're interested in trying it and you have some questions, go ahead and put them in the comment section. And until next time, mwah, stay spicy. Bye.
