Standing figure 4 pose is first and perhaps foremost a balancing posture. It encourages us to explore our ability to stay steady and centred even when the posture creates instability.
Sometimes referred as the half chair pose or “funky chair pose,” this posture is also wonderful for providing a hip opener as well. Sometimes it feels like the hip opener is incidental because so much of our focus tends to turn to the balancing portion as we literally bring attention to staying upright and steady.
