Anjaneyasana
Lunge Pose

Foundations of Posture:
  • Begin in Table posture (hands directly below the shoulders and knees hip width apart and directly below your hips - feet are straight behind the knees).
  • Bring your right leg forward between your hands so the ankle and knee are in one line and the shin bone is straight up and down. Use your right arm to brace the shin inward to the midline of the body.
  • Extend the back leg, curl the back toes under and lift the knee away from the ground.
  • Press back into the left heel as you lift the left thigh muscle up in to the sky and tailbone root down and forward.  i.e.: Back leg is charged and lifting while the front leg is soft and surrendering - tailbone tucks into space between.
  • Draw your shoulder blades together on your back and allow your heart to lift in celebration.
  • To release: Bend the back knee and come back to table pose and repeat on other side.
