| Foundations of
Posture: |
- Start on your belly with your feet hips width
apart or touching. Begin by lengthening your arms away from your
waist (before going into the posture) and then place your
hands at a 45 degree angle along side your body, palms down.
- Begin by visualizing your whole
body lifting together as one just as on symphony plays a
masterpiece.
- Engage all the muscles in the body
- hugging the muscles around the bones.
- Roll your shoulders up to your
ears about one inch and then roll them back so your shoulder
blades hug into your spine.
- On an inhalation, press down into
your pelvis, as you lift your body away from the floor -
continuously lengthening as you rise up.
- Make sure the breath is full and buoyant
just a boat rocks on the waves so should your body.
- To release: Exhale, slowly
lengthen as you lower down
