Description Of Activity
Starting Position: Lie on your stomach with your forehead on the mat. Place your hands flat on the floor directly under your shoulders, fingers pointing forward. Keep your elbows close to your body.
Legs and Feet: Keep your legs together, tops of your feet flat on the floor, and press your pubic bone gently into the mat.
Inhale and Lift: Inhale deeply. As you exhale, gently press into your hands and lift your head, chest, and shoulders off the mat. Keep your lower ribs on the floor.
Engage Back Muscles: Use your back muscles to lift, rather than pushing excessively with your hands. Your hands are there for support.
Shoulders and Neck: Draw your shoulders back and down, away from your ears. Gaze softly forward or slightly upward, keeping your neck long and relaxed. Avoid crunching the neck.
Hold: Hold the pose for 15-30 seconds, breathing smoothly.
Release: Exhale slowly and lower your chest, then your shoulders, and finally your forehead back to the mat. Rest your head to one side and relax your arms.
