Title
Salabhasana (B LOCUST OR "EASY COBRA")
Description
- Release your hips to the floor, press your feet firmly down until your knee caps lift off the floor, firm your thighs while spiraling your inner things up, and draw your tailbone toward your heels.
- While maintaining the engagement of your legs, press into your hands – placed beneath your shoulders – to begin lifting your chest up while shrugging your shoulder blades down your back. The latter action will create space and ease around the neck while emphasizing the openness of the heart center and lungs.
- Finally, create a sense of trying the pull your body forward through your hands, which will gently deepen the backbend, drawing the curve up higher in the cervical spine while keeping the hips rooted, legs strong, tailbone drawing toward the heels and breath active.
