This session is designed to help larger-bodied individuals develop comfort and strength in seated yoga poses. Coach Jesse demonstrates modified pigeon pose and reclining figure four, which offer effective alternatives for improving hip mobility without unnecessary strain. Boat pose variations provide core engagement without sacrificing posture, while Happy Baby with a strap allows for a deep inner thigh stretch while maintaining proper spinal alignment.
To further support strength and mobility, the session includes bridge pose for glute activation, with an alternative wall-based donkey kick modification for those who struggle with supine movements. These accessible variations create a more sustainable practice while ensuring long-term joint health.
