Part 2/5:
- Lift and Look Up: As you pull on your ankles, elevate your chest and stomach off the ground, looking up to assist in raising your body further. The goal here is to have your entire torso, from your stomach to your ribcage, lifted off the mat.
This pose not only strengthens the back but also enhances flexibility in the spine.
Transitioning to Vajrasana
Following Dhanurasana, transitioning into Vajrasana can serve as a grounding pose.
Kneeling Position: Begin by sitting on your heels.
Adjust Your Body: Widen your knees and place palms facing down at the back of your hips.
Deep Breaths: Inhale deeply as you push your hips forward while exhaling gently.
This posture aids in digestion and provides a moment of rest before moving to more challenging asanas.
