Path-Of-The-Heart YOGA



BOW

Dhanurasana

 

Lie on your stomach with your chin resting on the ground. Bend your knees and allow your feet to come close to your buttocks. Reach back and hold your ankles.

 

Note - If your back is sensitive keep your knees on the floor. The squeeze and the pressing downward of the pubic bone will engage your lower back muscles to protect this area.

1 - Bring up the squeeze, pressing your pubic bone downward.
 

4 - To relieve knee strain, press your heels upward and the insides of your knees toward each other.

2 - Press your feet back into your hands, allowing your chest to rise with the pressing.

3 - Press the tips of your toes upward.


Hold the posture.

Be aware of your breath.

- Irrigates kidneys helping them eliminate toxins.
