- Squat PREPARATORY POSE
Take your feet hip distance apart and sink down into a squat.
If your feet do not come down flat on your mat then you can
use a block to rest your heels on. Take your elbows inside
your knees and your hands into prayer. Push your elbows out
to encourage the hips to open. Keep your back straight and
draw in the stomach below the navel to engage the pelvic
floor muscle. Hold for five breaths. Place your hands onto the
mat shoulder distance apart. Spread the fingers. - Arm Preparation PREPARATORY POSE
Push your hands into the mat as you lift up your hips bending your elbows
slightly. Place your right leg over the shoulder and then the left, use the
breath and draw the stomach in below the navel as you work your shoulders
behind your knees. If this feels too strong on your wrists then place a rolled
up mat or towel underneath the heels of the hands. Gently place your feet
on top of your hands. Slowly sink your hips and bend your elbows as you
prepare for your balance.
