Want to stretch out the front of your body and open up your chest and shoulders? Try the next pose in our 30 day yoga challenge with Sarah Malcolm – the Fish Pose.
Welcome to day 28 of Healthista’s 30 Day Yoga Challenge, with leading London yoga teacher Sarah Malcolm (@sarahmalcs), where you learn in detail a different pose or aspect of yoga every day.
If you’re just joining us, click here to go to day one and see below for links to the other days in the series. Today’s video is all about learning how to do the fish pose.
Fish Pose
Fish Pose, or Matsyasana, is the counterpose to the shoulder stand that you learned yesterday.
This move opens the the chest and shoulders as you lie on your back. It also opens the throat chakra to help you find your voice.
Sarah recommends holding this pose for five breaths to stretch the front of the body.
Check back in tomorrow for the next video in our yoga challenge series.
Our 30 day yoga challenge
Each day you will be learning a new aspect to the practice, so in a month you will have learned the basic yoga poses in depth, so that you can participate in classes or do a proper sequence by yourself.
Yoga is a meditation that anyone can do. You don’t need a specific body type to master the practice, you just need the right skills – and you don’t need to be bendy to do it, that’s a myth we’d like to dispel. Just do the moves and you’ll feel the magic. Our 30 day challenge will give you the skills to become a true yogi.
