ALIGNMENT NOTES +
- If you’re moving into Revolved Downward Facing Dog, really press into the hand on the Earth and focus on pulling the belly in and up.
With your Standing Side Stretches, focus on pressing the feet into the Earth, you feel yourself lengthen and feel a sense of lightness. - For your Warrior 1 (Virabhadrasana 1), ensure the feet are hip distance, rather than one in front of the other (think train tracks). Square your hips by pulling your back hip forward and your front hip back. Be sure to keep your back heel down on the Earth at a 45-degree angle, really press that back foot down into the Earth and squeeze the leg tight to create a strong foundation.
- For Half Camel (Ardha Ustrasana) focus on peeling the shoulders open and squeezing the booty to protect the lower back. It should feel delicious.
