Chaturanga Dandasana
Four-Limbed Staff Pose Yoga Journal. by Denise Benetiz
Begin by lying face down on the floor. Establish an attitude of open-hearted surrender and curiosity, releasing any negative thoughts you might have about the pose. Place your hands on the floor at your lower ribs - palms down and fingers pointing forward, forearms vertical - and firm your outer body, drawing the muscles gently in towards your core. Keep your elbows pinned to your sides, draw your upper arms into your shoulders and the bottom tips of your shoulder blades into your back, and lift your chest and shoulders until your upper arms come parallel to the floor. Inflate your kidney area, tuck your toes under, energize your legs andd spine, and lift your body lightly into the pose.
