POSE 10

Full Body Extension

This pose creates space through the entire body, from fingertips to toes. I have always believed this is the most important pose.

A

With your knees bent and feet flat on the floor, bring your hands above your head, interlace your fingers, and stretch your arms away from your body.

Then lower your legs and extend them out long on the mat with your toes pointed, stretching the whole body.

Close your eyes and take 3 of the deepest breaths you’ve taken all day.

B

Stretch your whole body, from head to toe. Extend. Lengthen.

Enjoy the opening.

C

For more, pull your belly in and up as you press the back of your head into the mat.

Press your heels, spine and head, firmly into the mat.
