| Foundations of
Posture: |
- Come to a comfortable cross legged
position.
- Bring your hands high up onto your
right thigh so your right hand is on the outside of your thigh and
the left hand is on the inside of your thigh. Manually, grab
the thigh with both hands (thumbs will be close to each other) and
pick the thigh slightly off the ground and push the inner thigh
down as you move the fleshy part of outer thigh away from
you. Repeat on the left leg.
- Tuck the tailbone slightly into
the openness in the pelvis.
- Lift and lengthen the front, back
and sides of the torso away from the pelvis up through the crown
of your head.
- Draw your shoulder blades together
on to your back as you root down through your sitting bones.
- Arms hang heavy.
- Modification: If you can not sit
up with a straight spine, use a blanket or cushion under part
of your buttocks to help rotate the pelvis forward and aid you in
having a straight spine.
