| Foundations of
Posture: |
- Begin in Phalakasana or Plank
Position.
- Reach the crown of your head
towards the front of your space and your heels towards the back of
your space.
- Allow the back of the skull to
float upwards while you bring your shoulder blades onto your back
and the heart melts.
- Tuck the tailbone to reach towards
your heels by engaging your abdominal muscles bringing your pubic
bone towards your navel.
- Keep your kidneys inflated by
keeping the inner body buoyant.
- Exhale, bend the elbows keep them
close in by your sides as you keep the muscles of your legs
lifting upwards (so you do not collapse them down to your mat). Lower down until the shoulders are
in line with the elbows and the upper arm is parallel to the
ground. Hold for a breath keeping a straight form, then
release down into the support of the Earth.
