Spine Elongation

Spine Elongation
|
In order for the spine to elongate sufficiently the legs need to work properly.
Good activation of the legs should start from the feet.
🐘
Here is one of the actions you can practice in order to ground better with your heels in all standing asanas.
🐘
Start with Tadasana: activate your heels by pushing your lower ankles back, engage your legs and feel your heels very grounded to the mat.
🐘
Now, without changing the activation and position of your feet and legs, fold forward to Uttanasana. Keep the action of the back of your ankle and legs.
🐘
Next walk your hands forward to Adho Mukha Svanasana (down dog) without loosing the action of your legs and the position of your heels on the ground.
🐘
This practice should give you a nice base to practice standing asanas with a new sense of stability.
🐘
Here is a suggestion for a short sequence to continue with:
-Trikonasana
-Tadasana
-Uttanasana
-Parsvottanasan (like in the picture)
-Tadasana
-Parivritta Trikonasana
-Tadasana
-Prasarita Padotansana
🐘
Make sure to take that ankle-heel-leg action with you into those standing asanas.
🐘
Enjoy and let is know how it went for you.
