Tips
- Practise this pose with your hands against a wall or the back of a tall chair. This will allow you to get used to the actions in the body while helping with balance.
- Instead of bringing your arms alongside your ears try brining the arms out to the sides, or bringing the palms together in front of your chest.
- Keeping the standing knee bent a little will also help with balance.
- Think about shooting energy out through the back foot to keep it light and lifted. Lift the inner arch of the foot and the inner ankle.
- Engaging the lower belly will help with stability.
