ALIGNMENT NOTES +
- For your upward facing dog (Urdva Mukha Svanasana), ensure that when you glide through your knees stay off the Earth. You squeeze the butt and the shoulders stay down, away from the ears. Hands should be directly under your shoulders.
- For your Fallen Star, try both options to see what feels best for your body! Number 1 focus: make sure we always feel safe!
- For Dancing Shiva (Natarajasana), try to find your Drishti point (one point of focus… that’s not moving) to get your balance. Once you have the grip and you’re reaching forward, really focus on kicking the ankle into your hand and lifting the foot higher. Try to square the shoulders back to the front of the room.
