 Praying
Mountain
Hold and meditate a
bit for relaxation. You'll want to use this
posture for focusing and separating yourself from life's
stresses. |
 Reaching
Mountain
TRANSITION: From
the prayer, sweep your hands down and out as you move
them up - just like you are making a snow angel.
Inhale as you move your arms up. Stretch your arms WAY out
and up.
Hold for 5 seconds or
so... Focusing on arching your back (this may take
some balance practice) and reaching as much as you can
for the sky. |
|
 Forward
Bend
TRANSITION: From
the reach, do a stretching swan dive down. Go slow
and smoothly, exhaling your stresses away. This isn't pilates or aerobics!
Hold for at least 10
seconds - or as long as it feels good... Focus on
keeping your legs straight. Just relax and don't
force it. This
isn't about how far you can stretch. The full pose
has your face touching your shins... Yeah, that's
not likely to happen with me! |
 Reaching
Mountain
TRANSITION:
Again, sweep and stretch your arms out to the sides as
you move them up.
Hold for 5 seconds or
so... Focusing on arching your back (this may take
some balance practice) and reaching as much as you can
for the sky.
