Stand tall, try to lengthen your spine upward lifting your crown to the sky, inhale deeply & sweep your arms up over your head to bring your palms together & gaze upward, as if lifting your face to the sun...Exhale and sweeping your arms out wide, do a sort of swan dive to bring your hands to your knees/shins/ankles/floor...Inhale and lift your chest, looking forwards...Exhale and fold back into the forward bend...If you are dynamic and have a strong back use the deep inhale to lift up, back to standing, arms raised with hands in prayer position then exhale them to your heart centre...to protect your lower back, switch to inhaling slow & deep, knees bent and roll up with your chin tucked to your chest , stacking your vertebrae on top of each other as you unfurl, lift your arms as in the dynamic version....
NB Please check out any concerns about your health for practicing yoga with your GP before trying things on the blog, you must take responsibility for your own body & yoga and remember I don't know if these ideas are suitable for you & your body right now - please feel free to ask questions if you think you may or know that you need a modified practice. Om shanti.
