staff posture
dandasana
Staff posture lengthens and realigns the spine,
gently stretches the backs of the legs, opens the chest and stimulates the
respiratory and reproductive systems.
From a seated position, extend the legs straight
out in front of you with your hands behind your hips, fingers pointed away.
Press the hip bones down and reach the crown of
your head up to lengthen the spine.
Drop the shoulders down and back and press the
chest forward.
Use the arms to support the chest open and the
spine straight.
Press the heels away from you and pull the toes
towards your head.
Breathe and hold for 3-6 breaths.
Place a folded blanket under the hips.
