The Wild Thing Yoga Pose is one of my favorite heart-opening yoga poses. I feel strong, free and empowered to reach for my goals while simultaneously surrendering myself to God’s will!
In addition to making me feel amazing, this pose has some pretty aweseome benefits like:
- Opens hips and heart ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
- Improves spinal flexibility ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
- Strengthens the upper body and core
- Stretches legs
Check out these 4-steps to help you do the Wild Thing yoga pose!
1. Downward Facing Dog
Begin in downward-facing dog.
2. Three-Legged Downward Facing Dog
From downward-facing dog, lift your right leg and flex your foot with the sole of your foot facing upward.
3. Three-Legged Downward Facing Dog With Right Hip-Opener.
Lift your right leg with the sole of your foot facing the sky. Bend your right knee and begin to open your right hip by pressing the sole of your foot towards the ground behind you.
While continuing to reach the sole of your right foot toward the Earth behind until your toes touch (keeping your right knee bent), lift your right arm and rotate onto the ball of your left foot until all four corners are flat on your mat.

Soften your shoulder blades and press your hips upward creating a backbend in your upper back. Inhale and extend your right arm above your head.
