Eating Before Yoga

How do you protect your shoulders when lowering in the plank(Chataranga Dandhasana) ?
- our bones are stronger than our muscles - aligning the bones & joints, protects and strengthens muscles
- keep elbows in tight to your sides
- your heart should hover or land in front of your thumbs
- keep your hands and forearms engaged gently
- keep your buttocks engaged gently
- feet hip width apart giving balance to the weight of your body
Why Lift and follow your heart throughout your practice?
- engages and strengthens back
- opens the vertebrae, giving space for the disc to occupy, allowing for safe movement
- opens up abdominal cavity for the lungs to easily expand
How do I sit all day without feeling stiff in different joints when I stand up?
-Sit Safely allowing all joints to be in neutral(no extension/no flexion)
- shoulders over hips- try to keep from rounding forward(bring keyboard to you/sit up closer)
- knees hip width apart at the same height as hips, knees over ankles
- feet flat on the floor, ankles directly under knees
- keep your heart lifted and chin level with the earth- what ever you need to look at should be straight forward
WE HAVE ALSO, SUBSTITUTED Chataranga Dandhasana
Modifying the practice of Yoga to fit your needs in the moment is best practice.
LOVE YOU ALL, LOVE YOURSELF!!!!! Namaste!
