The true key to this pose is the foundation, your feet! The simplest way to explain… Stand on your feet. There are 4 key points in your feet for stability. Two in the ball and two in the heal. Those points should actively be pressed into the ground as you create muscular strength in your legs to lift your arch up. Who hasn’t heard rooting down to rise up? This should actively lift your arch! Once you get that stability interlace your fingers over your head, palms facing the sky and as you stretch from one side to the other actively press those 4 foot points into the ground. The opposite leg may need a little more push as you move your arms. Remember don’t over do this stretch. Only move comfortably. Don’t dump out your side body. Be gentile with your spine. Standing in this pose move slowly from one side to the other with your breath. Stand strong like a mountain! 🙂 Photo By AmyElizabeth
