Yoga: Wide leg upward dog.

Yoga.

Begin by lying on the stomach on the floor. Place the hands behind the shoulders and bring the legs out to the side slightly wider than hip-width. Relax the buttocks and the legs. Inhale, push evenly down through the hands and lift the chest up towards the sky, gently arching the spine. Roll the shoulders back and down and away from the ears, look up towards the sky. Don't allow the lower back to collapse down towards the floor. Stay connected to the core musculature by pulling the navel in towards the spine and lifting the pelvic floor muscles. Keep the fingers and thumbs spread evenly pushing down through all four corners of the palms. Relax the buttocks and the legs. Lift the thighs and chins off the floor, pushing down evenly through hands and through the tops of the feet. Don't allow the lower back to collapse, keep connected to the core. Stay here for 5 to 10 deep breaths.

Strengthens the wrists, arms, shoulders and spine musculature. Increases the mobility in the lumbar and thoracic spine. Stimulates thyroid, kidneys, adrenals, improves digestion, elimination and reproduction. Opens the chest and shoulders.
