Camel Pose (Ustrasana)

Camel Pose
(Ustrasana)

Sit on your hips.
Nice and tall.

Knee 6-12 inches apart.

Lift your body up so stand on your knees.

Place your hands on your waist.
Open the chest.

Curl your toes under.

Drop your Head back.
Expand your chest forward.

Slolwly reach your right hand back to grab right heel.
Then reach your left hand back to grab left heel.
Expand your chest even more.

If it is hard to reach your hands on your heels, Place your hands on your back.
It's fine as it is.
Press your back forward and lift your chest.

Bring your top of your feet down to the mat.
Hands are closer to the mat.
Hold the breath 5-10 breaths.

Child pose.
Place your heads on the mat hands aside your body.
Resting.

Gently bring your body up.
