| Foundations of
Posture: |
- Begin with your feet together and
either step or hop your feet apart about 3 feet.
- Extend your arms out into a
"T" position so your ankles and wrists are in one line.
- Isometrically draw your feet
together by firing up your inner thigh muscles and shins while pressing down
in to both the inside and outside of your feet (maintain a lift in
the
arches of your feet without gripping your toes).
- Draw your shoulder blades in close
to your spine as you extend joyfully out through your finger tips.
- Allow the lower body to be lifted
up by drawing the muscles of your leg up while extending down
through the bones in your legs and through to your heels.
- Extend through the crown of your
head, keep the heart uncaged to lift the front of your body, and
tailbone slightly tucks down to lengthen the back body.
- To release: Step or jump
your feet together.
