barkan yoga



the last pose that i would love to demonstratewith annika that we could find in position thirteen, which is an inhale in a super funsunsalute vinyasa, would be the bow pose. this would be kind of the pinnacle pose towardsthe end when you're really, really warm and you're really wanting to create some deeperback bends after you've been practicing for a while. so we're going to start on our bellyin a small cobra, bending both knees, holding the tops of the feet, or if you're very open,you can even hold the ankles, pressing the inner thigh toward the ceiling, scooping thetail bone done. i'm going to begin to press my feet back, lifting the chest. and we havea bow pose here. depending on how warm you are, how high you'll be able to lift the thighstowards the ceiling, keeping the neck in line

with the spine. and we're going to very, veryslowly release. and then we can take ourselves back to a down dog, which is the next positionthat would counter that pose.
