"Yoga is the perfect opportunity to be curious about who you are." ~ Jason Crandell
Whether we woke up a little slower this morning or we woke up feeling great & ready to move, yoga has a posture to offer us! If you are still feeling sluggish, find yourself stretching in Tortoise Pose-Kurmasana. This pose actually massages our internal organs! Opening up our hips & increasing circulation & flexibility! This is a sure way to help our bodies speed up a little! If we are already energized & ready to go we can fuel that energy in Rabbit Pose- Sasangasana. This pose is amazing for our brains! Relieving mental fatigue, insomnia & depression. It is great for our memory & our focus by activating the crown of our heads! Last, it stretches our spines & helps keep them younger by increasing elasticity.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Sit down with your legs stretched out in front of you. Open your legs a good distance between your feet. Almost a straddle. Take in a nice deep breath & as you exhale bend forward slide your hands & arms under your legs & straighten your arms so that your shoulders are in between your legs. Your legs remain straight & grounded on the floor. You are right in the posture when your knees come to lie on top of your shoulders. Remember, move at your own pace & bend your knees if your body needs too!
Grabbing our heels with thumbs on the outside, fingers on the inside, roll forward until forehead is close to our knees. Pull on heels lifting hips high with very little weight on our head with heavy knees.
After our postures reset the spine & relax the low back in Child's Pose- Balasana. A great restore before we get back up!
Happy Posturing!!
