Description Of Activity
Starting Position: Kneel on your mat. Your knees can be together or slightly apart, depending on your comfort.
Foot Placement: Bring your big toes to touch, and spread your heels apart so that you can sit between your heels. Your buttocks should rest on the mat, between your feet. If this is uncomfortable, place a cushion or folded blanket between your buttocks and your heels.
Spinal Alignment: Lengthen your spine, stacking your head directly over your heart, and your heart over your pelvis. Draw your tailbone slightly under to avoid arching the lower back excessively.
Shoulders and Chest: Relax your shoulders down and back, away from your ears. Keep your chest open.
Hand Placement: Rest your hands on your thighs, palms facing down.
Gaze and Breath: Keep your gaze soft or close your eyes. Focus on slow, deep abdominal breathing.
Hold: Hold the pose for a few minutes. This pose is particularly beneficial for digestion and can be practiced after meals.
Release: Gently lift your buttocks, bring your knees together if they were apart, and extend your legs forward. Shake out your legs and ankles.
