Description Of Activity
Starting Position: Lie on your stomach with your forehead on the mat. Place your arms alongside your body, palms facing up, or make fists and place them under your groin for leverage.
Legs and Feet: Keep your legs straight and together, or hip-width apart if more comfortable.
Inhale and Lift (Option 1 - Legs Only): Inhale deeply. As you exhale, engage your glutes and the backs of your legs, and lift both legs off the floor, keeping them straight. Try to lift from the hip joint, not just bending the knees.
Inhale and Lift (Option 2 - Full Pose): Inhale deeply. As you exhale, simultaneously lift your head, chest, arms, and legs off the floor. Keep your gaze forward or slightly down to maintain a long neck. Arms can be extended back, palms facing each other, or interlaced behind your back.
Engage Core: Keep your core engaged to protect your lower back.
Hold: Hold for 10-30 seconds, breathing steadily.
Release: Exhale slowly and gently lower your body back to the mat. Rest your head to one side and relax.
