M. restorative (10/12)

Focus on extending the spine (axial extention). Notice the shape of the spine- the curves, the feeling on the front spine, back spine, the left and the right.

-Start with usual warm up and straight leg hip openers.

-Supta Baddha Konasana (the queens pose): about 15 minutes.

-Heart opener : long skinny trifolded blankies under upper back and legs elevated on bolsters: about 10 minutes.

-Sit facing the wall on blankets first we sat in virasana (on the knees) and stretched arms up the wall -- then we switched to cross legs with fingers walking up the wall.

-Lay on back with feet pressed on the wall and block under sacrum (setubandha/bridge pose).

-Savasana.

Namaste!!
