The Goddess Pose: a rather elementary pose in yoga, is something I found physically and mentally stimulating. It is achieved by lying on your back, and on the inhale of a deep breath, lift your arms above your head and rest them on the floor to form this type of shape (). Take another breath and on the inhale open your legs with your knees bent and the bottoms of your feet together so that your legs form this type of a shape <>. Let gravity stretch your arms and this inner muscles in your thighs. And also notice the difference in your breathing from your former lying pose. One thing I noticed in this pose is the femininity of the pose. It is a very open pose, opening the chest and pelvis, the centers of femininity. Moving out of the pose should be done on the exhale.
