sandeyeTibetan poses: The Hook
February 2nd 2009 03:11
This pose is difficult for me, as keeping my legs extended straight is not easy unless I am propped up by a wall behind me or have been seated with them extended for some time prior to moving the upper half of myself.
Sit on the floor with your legs extended straight in front of you. With bent elbows, clasp your hands together in front of your chest. As you exhale, make a direct movement to extend your arms straight in front of you, keeping the fingers entwined. In hale before continuing.
As you exhale, turn your still-straight arms and head towards the left. You should twist from the upper chest/heart region, not waist/lower back. Wait for 3 full breaths before continuing. Bending your left elbow in to your side, twist further left for 3 breaths before a return to center and repetition to the right.
