Wrists, Shoulder, Knees and Hips; Knees and Hips...


If you can not get to the studio; try this little exercise.  Let me know how you feel and if this helps:

On all 4's (hands under wrists; knees under hips)
Finger tips forward - Lift heel of hand slowly 10 times
Finger tips outward - Lift heels of hands 10 times 
Finger tips inward - Lift heels of hands 10 times

Make a fist and Roll over top of both hands and bend elbows out while lowering your head to ground.  The more flexible you are in your shoulders the easier it is to lower down.  Heat will help this, so maybe you should just come to class :))

Step into forward bend; then bend your knees generously and lift your toes to slide your hands underneath your feet.  Try to keep your spine long (the hamstring stretch is just a bonus)

See you on your mat soon; but if you don't have a mat you can borrow one  of ours.

Peace,  Kathleen
