- Begin in
Plakasana,
Plank Pose.
- Shift your weight onto your right
hand and begin to roll onto the pinky side of your right foot
(keeping the left foot stacked on top of the right foot.
- As you roll onto the right hand
and pinky side of your right foot, keep your shoulder blades
hugging the spine and the right side of body (underside)
full of life - don't let it the hips drop down - keep the mid line
of the body in one straight line.
- Extend from the top of head to the
soles of your feet as you revolve your torso up towards the sky.
- Extend your left hand up to the
sky (palm facing the same direction as your body) and turn to look
at your top hand.
- Modified Version: Bend the
left leg and place the sole of your left foot right in front of
your right knee for support.
- To Release: Slowly, exhale
and release the top arm down to the ground where you first began
with it in plank position (so shoulder and wrist are in one line).
Repeat on other side.
