Description

A restful pose

Benefits

Shoulders Chest Hips

Entry

From tabletop bring your knees slightly wider and bring your big toes to touch. Sit back on your heels and bow forward, reaching your hands and arms toward the front of your mat. Lower your forehead to the ground.

Options

  1. Pad your knees with a blanket.
  2. If you feel this in your knees, lessen the angle by placing a blanket or bolster over your calves and under your hamstrings as you sit back.
  3. If there is too much sensation across the tops of your ankles, fold or roll a blanket and place it under your ankles so they are cushioned.
  4. For less chest and shoulder, and more rest, lay your torso down on a bolster going longways from knees to head. Rest one cheek on the bolster, and change halfway through.
