Yoga: Shoulder stand.

Yoga.

Refer to the plow posture for the starting position. Whether the feet are on the chair or the floor, support the lower back with the hands and gently walk the elbows in towards each other. Slowly float one leg up at a time towards the sky bringing yourself into the shoulder stand position. If there is any strain on the neck, shoulders or upper back, come out of the position. If you are a beginner, bring yourself to a wall and place the feet on the wall with the head and shoulders approximately 1 to 2 feet away. Keep the knees bent and the feet flat on the wall. For intermediate and advanced students, lift the legs straight up towards the sky, legs together, toes spread. Walk the elbows towards each other and palms on the lower back. Do not look sideways in this posture. Keep the weight across the shoulders not on the neck. The hips, knees, ankles and feet are all in one line. Keep the chin gently tucked in to support the cervical vertebrae. Hold this posture for 10 to 20 deep breaths.
