Downward Facing Dog
TRANSITION: Just put
the balls of your feet into the mat and push that caboose in
the air!
Hold for
10-20 seconds... Focus on making that V -- straight
back and straight legs. Work on pushing your hips back
and getting your feet flat on the ground. |
Child's Pose
TRANSITION: Put your
knees down and sit on your heels.
Hold for as
long as needed... This is a great posture when you
need a little rest. You can omit this once you build
your endurance. Focus on feeling your arms stretch way
out. |
 Forward
Bend
TRANSITION: Keep
your hands in place on the mat and get on the balls of your
feet, moving your caboose in the air (if your transitioning
from downward facing dog, you're already there)...
Walk your feet up toward your hands.
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. |
 Reaching
Mountain
TRANSITION: 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. |
