Step 7
CobraDrop your hips to the floor. Raise your head and chest so your torso is supported on your forearms (if you’re very flexible, you can extend your arms). Keep your shoulders down and back, pressing your chest forward and reaching toward the ceiling with the crown of your head. Hold for a few breaths.
Step 8
Downward-Facing DogPress your palms into the floor, straighten your arms and legs, and press your hips up so your body forms an inverted V. Let your head and neck hang freely from your shoulders or tuck your chin to your chest, if that’s more comfortable. Press your heels toward the floor while pressing your hips toward the ceiling for a full stretch. To make this position less difficult, keep your knees bent instead of straightening your legs. You can also place your hands on a low step. Hold for a few breaths.
Step 9
High Lunge 2Step forward with your right foot. Position yourself so your right knee is directly over your right ankle and your left leg is extended behind you. Support your weight by placing your palms or fingertips on the floor in line with your right foot. (Again, if it’s hard to reach the floor, place books under your hands.) Roll your shoulders down and back and press your chest forward, looking straight ahead.
Relax your hips and let them sink toward the floor while straightening your back leg as much as comfortably possible (if flexibility is a problem, keep your back leg resting on the floor). Hold for a few breaths.
