Tortoise Pose (Kurmasana)
With Dr Kiki Morriss
FOCUS ON THE FRONT OF YOUR BODY
l Lengthen your breastbone and move your trunk forwards
l Broaden across your chest as you gently move it down
l Soften your shoulders away from your ears and lower
them towards the floor
l Lower your forehead, chin and chest to the groundFOCUS ON THE BACK OF YOUR BODY
l As you widen your arms and stretch your legs forwards,
your back muscles will spread outwards
l Lengthen your spine forwards
l Feel your back moving as you breathe steadily
in and out
l Create space between your shoulder blades
l Encourage softness in your back and hipsWITHDRAW YOUR SENSES
l Relax your jaw and tongue, as you withdraw from speech
and taste
l Soften your gaze, as you turn your sight inwards
l Tune your ears to inner sounds
l Soften your nasal passages
l Settle into the pose. Relax, keep breathing and let go.FOCUS YOUR GAZE
l Your focal point (dristi) is your third eye (at the top of your
nose, in between your eyebrows). If this is uncomfortable,
gaze softly straight ahead or close your eyes.For the full,
