| Foundations of
Posture: |
- Begin in
Anjaneyasana
(Lunge Pose) - with right leg
forward and back leg down on the ground.
- Start to walk your right foot away
from your body keeping the hips squared (see Prep Pose image).
- Slide the right leg out as far as
you can. If there is space between the base of your pelvis
and the ground, use a block or cushion to support you.
- Lean slightly
forward to open up the pelvic floor and scoop the tailbone down as
you draw up through your pelvic floor and abdominals...straighten
the spine back into vertical position keeping the tailbone and
abdominals engaged.
- Finger tips are down by your side,
root the shoulders in to the spine as you lift your heart forward
and up while maintaining the integrity of your back body.
- Advanced Posture:
Curl your back toes under to further the stretch in the hip
creases.
- To release: Press into
your finger tips and come back into table posture and repeat on
other side.
