Maya / Elbows and Knees
Maya / Elbows and Knees
- On the floor with knees in line with the hips at 90% & elbows in line with shoulders at 90%
- You are on your forearms with palms down on the floor
- Knees are not too close together or too far apart, they should be straight down from the hip
- Feet flexed since you are not standing on them
- DO NOT let yourself sink between the shoulder blades
- Shoulder blades are apart without rounding the back.
- Remember the 3 domes — of the top of the head in line with the respiratory diaphragm and
the pelvic diaphragm - Eyes are glancing towards the knees just so you achieve a longer neck
- But not a curled neck
- You want to achieve a nice straight line .. through the body remember .. the “hose” analogy ;)
- You should be able to breath well and then allow yourself to grow
- When you breath don’t round the back .. maintain the line
