Hose Pose is extremely grounding. With both feet planted to the earth and stable, the thighs are really working. Hose Pose works the body both physically and emotionally. Internally it elevates your sense of self.
Talking yourself through the pose and holding it is vital. You become further disciplined with your breath.
For me, when I break these physical barriers it’s incredibly rewarding. I know I can be disciplined while feeling incredibly uncomfortable.
