Fire log - whether you love this pose or hate it, there is no question it provides a deep stretch to the outer hips {sound effect DEEEEEEP}. I have always liked the name firedog because this pose will, without a doubt, bring some heat into the body particularly into the hips. In addition to bringing heat to the body, it is also beneficial to do this pose after the body has been warmed so ideally this pose is does closest to the end of a yoga session or after the body has been warmed somewhat.
