sandeyeOther Asana - Sphinx pose
October 20th 2010 16:24
This pose is very similar to the cobra asana - but there is a difference. Begin by lying face down flat on the ground. Stretch both arms directly in front of you along the floor and bend your ankles so that your feet are face down/sole upward. Your arms and legs should be slightly apart, but not sticking out sideways.
Bending your elbows, pull your hands back towards your body. Place your elbows directly below your shoulders, leaving your lower arms flat on the floor. Spreading your fingers, lift your chest from the ground, curving your mid-spine and opening the chest.
As you exhale, press your hips onto your mat/carpet and raise your head slightly to enable you to look straight ahead. Hold the pose for 30-60 seconds before release.
