PRACTICEPURPOSE
This pose is considered a resting pose. It is a great counter-
pose to a back bend like Sphinx. If at any point during your
practice you need a break, return to this pose.
INSTRUCTIONS
Come to your hands and knees. Separate your knees wider
than your hips and bring your big toes together. Sit back
onto your heels. Walk your hands forward and allow your
belly to drop between your thighs as your ribs rest on the
inner thighs. Bring your forehead to the mat. Keep your arms
extended forward or bring them alongside you. Hold for at
least five breaths.
MODIFICATIONS
If it is difficult to sit back on your heels, try placing a blanket
or bolster on top of your calves and sit on that. This will ease
any back or hip pain.
